Comprehensive Osteopathic Care in South Yarra at Richmond Osteopath

Osteopathy is a highly effective form of manual therapy that focuses on treating pain and dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system. At South Yarra Osteopathy, we employ a hands-on, holistic approach to identify the root cause of your pain and treat it accordingly. While we recognize the body’s natural ability to heal itself, we also understand that sometimes it needs a helping hand to recover optimally.

What We Treat

At South Yarra Osteopathy, we commonly treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Neck and Shoulder Pain: Whether due to poor posture, stress, or injuries, we use effective techniques to alleviate tension and restore movement.

• Headaches and Migraines: Many headaches stem from musculoskeletal issues in the neck and shoulders. Our treatments aim to relieve tension and improve blood flow.

• Lower Back Pain: From acute injuries to chronic conditions, we address lower back pain using tailored treatment plans.

• Workplace and Sports Injuries: Whether you are an office worker or an athlete, injuries can impact daily life. We help patients recover from strains, sprains, and repetitive stress injuries.

Our Treatment Approach

Our osteopaths use a combination of manual techniques to provide pain relief and improve function. Some of our commonly used methods include:

• Deep Tissue Massage: Helps release muscle tension and improve circulation.

• Spinal Joint Manipulation: Realigns the spine and joints to restore mobility and reduce pain.

• Myofascial Release: Focuses on relieving tension in the connective tissues of the body.

• Rehabilitation Exercises: We provide stretching and strengthening exercises to promote long-term healing and prevent recurrence.

If we determine that osteopathic treatment alone may not fully resolve your condition, we have a trusted network of medical professionals, including sports and spinal specialists, surgeons, podiatrists, and naturopaths. We may also refer you for diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasounds if necessary to gain a clearer understanding of your condition.

Insurance and Accessibility

At South Yarra Osteopathy, we strive to make our treatments accessible and affordable for our patients. Our clinic is covered by all private health funds, and we have a HICAPS facility for on-the-spot claims processing. Additionally, no referral is needed to see us, making it easy to book an appointment when you need it most.

We are also registered for:

• WorkCover and TAC treatment: Providing osteopathic care for those injured at work or in road accidents.

• Enhanced Primary Care Program (EPC): A government initiative that may allow eligible patients to receive Medicare rebates for osteopathic treatment.
