If you’re living with persistent pain — whether it’s in your neck, shoulders, back, or elsewhere — it’s time to explore a treatment option that looks at the whole picture. Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on form of manual therapy that focuses on restoring balance and function to the body by addressing the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. At our Camberwell osteopathic clinic, we’re committed to helping you move better, feel better, and live pain-free.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is based on the principle that the structure and function of the body are closely interconnected. When one part of your musculoskeletal system isn’t working well, it can have a ripple effect on other areas — leading to discomfort, restricted movement, and dysfunction.
Using a combination of manual techniques such as deep tissue massage, joint manipulation, stretching, and gentle mobilisation, our osteopaths aim to restore your body’s natural balance and support its ability to heal itself. We understand that while the body has impressive self-healing abilities, sometimes it just needs a little assistance.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Our Camberwell osteopaths treat a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including but not limited to:
-
Neck and shoulder pain
-
Headaches and migraines
-
Lower back pain
-
Postural issues
-
Workplace strain and ergonomic stress
-
Sports injuries
-
Chronic pain conditions
No two patients are alike, which is why we tailor each treatment to your individual condition and health goals. We take the time to listen, assess, and work with you on a personalised treatment plan.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
We take a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment. During your first visit, we conduct a detailed health history and a full physical assessment to understand the source of your pain. From there, we use hands-on treatment to target problem areas and provide relief.
But our care doesn’t stop when you leave the treatment room. You’ll receive practical advice on posture, ergonomic setup, stretching and strengthening exercises, and even dietary tips — all designed to help you manage your condition and prevent future issues.
Access to a Trusted Medical Network
If we believe your condition needs further investigation or specialised care, we’ll refer you to a trusted professional within our medical network. This includes sports and spinal specialists, podiatrists, surgeons, and naturopaths. We may also recommend diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound if necessary to ensure you receive the most accurate and effective care.
Accessible, Convenient, and Covered by Health Funds
You don’t need a referral to see an osteopath. We accept all private health funds, and with our HICAPS facility, you can claim your rebate on the spot. We’re also registered to provide WorkCover and TAC treatments, as well as care under the Government’s Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program for those eligible.
