With a thorough medical history taken, using skilled evaluation and a wide range of hands-on techniques, osteopaths can identify important types of dysfunction in your body and make a diagnosis accordingly.

At your first appointment and in any subsequent session(s), you may receive any of the below osteopathic treatments following the clinical assessment conducted by your osteopath.

Musculoskeletal and nervous system assessments

Movement, postural, positioning advice and ergonomic assessments.
