WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?
Osteopathy was founded by an American physician, Dr Andrew Taylor Still in 1874.
He identified the relationship between structure and function in the human body
“The best osteopath is the best engineer; the best engineer is the best osteopath.”
– Dr A.T Still
Osteopathy is a system of health care, focusing on the neuro-musculoskeletal system – the bones, muscles, nerves and other tissues that support your body and control its movements.
Osteopathy combines hands-on treatment, such as massage, stretching, mobilisation and manipulation, as well as exercise prescription and lifestyle advice.
In Australia, osteopaths are government registered (AHPRA) allied health care practitioners. They complete a minimum of 5 years of university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general musculoskeletal medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques.
Osteopaths are primary health care practitioners, so no referral is needed. They are trained to recognise conditions that require further investigations and/or those that need to be referred on.
