Osteopathy in Australia is a government registered, allied health profession. Osteopathy is a science of physiology and mechanics. Osteopaths view the body as single unit of function with all systems interrelating and interconnecting. If there is dysfunction then the body will move towards a state of ‘dis-ease’. Osteopathic treatment is working with the body to restore normal function so that the body can move itself naturally towards health. Using a variety of hands on techniques including cranial osteopathy the osteopaths at the Melbourne Therapy Centre support the body’s self-healing abilities. Osteopathic treatment and management are tailored to the individual. The osteopaths at the Melbourne Therapy Centre treat patients of all ages from infants, children and adults.
Cranial Osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment. Specific gentle pressure is applied where necessary, to enable the inherent healing ability of the body to effect the release of stresses. It is extremely effective in treating a wide range of conditions in people of all ages, from birth to old age.
Our clinic has a strong philosophy of continued learning with world leaders in this distinctive discipline. As Osteopaths we share knowledge and skills continuously, ensuring the highest level of care for our patients.
