" _I chose to be on the Fleurieu because it offers a superb blend of ocean, land, lifestyle and community culture. After two years of successful practice with Kensington Osteopathy, I decided to leave the traffic jams of the burbs so I could live and work on the Peninsula where I spent most of my recreational time as an adolescent. This place is a charm and the locals are heart centred gems._ "

Special Interests
WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?
Osteoporosis is not who we are, but a condition we see regularly.
Bones, right? Technically yes. We make them move better by nurturing the other systems of the body, like the joints, muscles cardiovascular and lymphatic systems.
Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on treatment for the whole body that is tailored to the patient's clinical presentation.
Most aches, pains and nerve sensations can be attributed to common dysfunctions like poor blood flow, strained muscles, along with irritated nerves or joints due to strain patterns and unbalanced structures. Exercise, diet, work and lifestyle patterns can contribute to these irritations, as well as congenital and anatomical variances.
Considering the whole body, one can see that these elements affect everything from the head to the toes and everything in between.
This is an Osteopaths area of expertise.
Osteopathy is an AHPRA recognised allied health profession who's primary role is to assess, diagnose and treat conditions of the neuro-musculoskeletal frameworks.
Diagnostic procedures used regularly include patient history taking, radiological diagnosis, visual and palpated assessment, as well as testing orthopaedics, range of motion, articulation, vital signs and normal versus dysfunctional patterns.
We correct and strengthen your movement and posture patterns to maintain your best health.
The art of Osteopathy is underpinned by the science of human physiology, anatomy and pathophysiology.
The relationship between the three pillars, (mind, body and soul) are foundation to the profession, along with knowing that the interconnectedness of all human parts and systems create a whole person.
Treatment is tailored to your personal clinical presentation and may include.
gentle adjustments, stretching, myofascial and soft tissue release, lymphatic, cranial and articulatory techniques.
Some people liken the experience to a blend of physio, chiro and massage and report the need for Osteo treatment to be less frequent.
