About Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine, which centres on the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions.

Osteopaths take a holistic view of the body, looking at how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a unit.

Osteopaths are government registered, primary healthcare practitioners who complete a minimum of five years’ university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques.

Treatment Techniques

Vanessa uses a combination of gentle techniques depending on what is required for your condition. These will include a combination of procedures such as: massage, myofascial release, trigger point inhibition, muscle energy techniques, and craniosacral therapy combined with acupuncture,dry needling, articulation and mobilization of the joints to restore balance between the musculoskeletal, nervous, circulatory, lymphatic and gastrointestinal systems of the body.
