osteopathy

In today’s climate of increased awareness about health, most of us are taking more responsibility for our wellbeing. We know that when we stop and make time to address a problem we immediately create a opportunity for change.

Osteopathy is a flourishing healthcare profession involving highly skilled diagnosis and treatment supported by practical rehabilitation and useful lifestyle advice that enables you to maintain great health.

Based on the principal that our body has an intrinsic ability to restore and maintain health, this safe and effective whole-body practice not only addresses your immediate symptoms but also aims towards understanding their cause and possible effect on your overall wellbeing.

This gentle approach to osteopathic care integrates the practices of osteopathy, craniosacral therapy and naturopathy to provide a comprehensive treatment experience that supports the innate, self regulating ability of your body.

osteopathic care

Just as we all have an individual set of circumstances affecting our lives, so the unfolding of each osteopathic treatment is uniquely responsive to your personal needs.

Osteopathic care focuses on the evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of a condition and helps you to identify, understand and overcome your symptoms by addressing their cause.

Treatment aims to facilitate the release of accumulated tension, liberating stored energy, which helps your body function better in all respects, ultimately restoring health to a point where the assistance of an osteopath is no longer required.

visiting an osteopath

During your first visit a thorough medical case history of your symptoms, lifestyle, diet and personal circumstances is carefully compiled.

Any patterns of accumulated tension, areas of weakness and imbalance identified through a structural assessment and hands on evaluation are explained and the duration and frequency of sessions required is discussed. A referral to your GP may be necessary before treatment can begin.

With an aim to combine the best of mainstream and complimentary medicine Bronwyn practices in conjunction with local doctors and other medical, nutritional and movement professionals. If your condition is unlikely to respond to osteopathy alternative choices of healthcare can be recommended.
