What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathic treatment focuses on restoring movement, relieving pain, and improving musculoskeletal function. Osteopaths assess imbalances in structure, function, and posture to create personalized treatment plans.

​

Treatment involves hands-on techniques to release tight or restricted tissues. Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and manage conditions like:

​

  • Back, neck, and shoulder pain

  • Some headaches

  • Pregnancy-related pain (e.g., back strain, joint pain)

  • Lower back, pelvic, and limb pain

  • Childhood musculoskeletal conditions

  • Sports injuries and rehabilitation

  • Acute trauma

Techniques used for pain relief include:

  • Soft tissue massage

  • Joint manipulation and mobilization

  • Muscle energy techniques

  • Advice on ergonomics and exercise

  • ​

At Keilor Health Centre, we focus on long-term solutions, offering self-management strategies such as stretching, strengthening exercises, and practical advice for home and work.

Our osteopaths are university-educated, government-registered, and recognized by private health insurers, Medicare, and WorkSafe.
