Osteopathy is a complementary medicine, diagnosing and treating medical disorders using manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue massage, medical acupuncture, joint mobilisation and manipulation, often referred to as 'clicking' or 'cracking'.

Osteopaths look at the body as a whole, not simply the injured or painful area. Through this identification of influencing and contributing factors, the body’s synergy increases.

Looking at lifestyle habits, physical movements, posture, leisure activities and pain reactivity; Osteopaths assess the body’s functional ability and any disruptions within this. Further assessment considerations include evaluating and comparing strength, flexibility, function and movement of muscles, joints and areas. Osteopathy considers physical and psychological factors regarding pain, as the mind and body work in harmony to process and maintain pain.

At the end of the 19th Century, the founder of Osteopathy - A. T. Still, believed that for the body to heal itself, conditions must be optimal. This is when Osteopathy was 'born'. Osteopathy believes that the body works optimally when we give it the right tools, including structurally, functionally and mentally. It is believed that balancing these achieves harmony within the body and therefore the 'unit' functions optimally.
