Osteopathy treatments are strategically designed to help the body achieve balance and help it achieve its full potential. Joint and muscle mobility are essential to improving one’s flexibility, agility, and strength. The presence of pain in joints and muscles slows down progress and harms overall functionality.

If you desire to lead a healthier life without restrictions, it’s best to address these aches and pains with the help of the best osteopath North Melbourne has to offer.

 

What happens at a routine visit at an osteopathy clinic at Melbourne CBD?

A preliminary assessment will be conducted by a registered osteopath before any treatment is recommended. An osteopath looks at the bigger picture; assess general body condition, mobility as well as investigate probable causes that lead to the development of symptoms.

After thorough assessment and observation, a skilled osteopath will determine the root cause of any discomfort, pain, and restrictions. Once a diagnosis has been made, a North Melbourne osteopath will then formulate a manual therapy treatment or a combination of several osteopathic treatments to promote permanent relief for patients.

 

Here are some of the common treatments that are provided to patients at an osteopathy clinic in North Melbourne:

  • Hands-on osteopathy treatments including stretching, mobilization exercises, massage, and manual manipulation.
  • Dry needling therapy that introduces needles on trigger points to provide relief from muscle pain and stiffness.
  • IASTM or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation is a common osteopathic treatment that addresses myofascial restrictions. This therapy was crafted to enhance mobilization. With the help of specialty instruments, IASTM delivers relief to scar tissue formation and myofascial adhesions.
  • Myofascial release is a hands on manipulative technique that involves the application of pressure on restrictions found in myofascial connective tissues. The goal is to restore optimum mobility and alleviate pain and discomfort.
