Osteopathy Care Ivanhoe
Osteopathy is a holistic, non-invasive form of manual therapy that was created in 1892. This form of therapy offers a unique way to diagnose and provide treatment. It utilises muscle energy techniques (MET) and massage to treat your injury or condition. Our osteopaths near Ivanhoe take pride in helping to improve the comfort, functionality, and overall well-being of our clients by working towards improving acute and chronic pain and mobility and preventing illnesses, musculoskeletal issues, and injuries.
Osteopathy targets the root cause of ailments by examining the body’s connection between structure and function, rather than solely treating the symptoms. Emphasising holistic balance, it fosters the dynamic interplay between your body’s systems, potentially fostering better health outcomes.

What You Can Expect During Your Osteopathy Consultation
An appointment typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Our osteopaths will engage in discussions with you about your symptoms, delve into the background of your issue and any pertinent health history, evaluate your function and symptoms, and examine any scan results. Following this, we will devise and furnish a treatment and management plan aimed at achieving your desired outcome. Treatment usually commences during the initial session.
