My Osteo Echuca

Osteopathy is a form of manual healthcare which recognises the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a holistic unit. Using their skills in observation, evaluation and diagnosis osteopaths can identify all different types of dysfunction

in your body. Osteopathic treatment uses techniques such as stretching and massage for general treatment of the soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) along with mobilisation and manipulation of specific joints and soft tissues. In Australia, osteopaths complete 5 years of university and are trained in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, pathology, general medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques. Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners and are trained to recognise conditions which may require medical referral. Osteopaths can treat a wide range of conditions in both adults and children which may include:

Back and neck pain
Headaches
Joint and muscle pains
Sports injuries
Pregnancy related pain
It may also be helpful in reducing symptoms of sinus congestion, period pain, constipation and reflux
