Osteopathy
The Kew Osteopathic Clinic Guide to Osteopathy
Osteopathic History
The discipline of Osteopathy is based on the examination methods and treatment modalities developed by Dr Andrew Still in 1874. Learn more about the history of Osteopathy and the kind of conditions that underscored Dr Andrew's work.
Osteopathic Principles
In the words of Dr Still, founder of Osteopathy, the philosophy of Osteopathy may be summed up as: "It is the object of the doctor to find health. Anybody can find disease." Learn in depth about the guiding principles of this unique approach to therapy.
Osteopathic Treatment
Osteopathic treatment provides hands-on therapy that may be effective in reducing pain and disability associated with musculoskeletal conditions. It encourages holistic thinking about health challenges and respects the body's ability to heal itself.
Osteopathy & Children
Osteopathy may be an option for many common musculoskeletal childhood ailments. It allows a therapeutic hands-on approach guided by the child's own health.
Osteopathy & Pregnancy
The body needs special care to ensure it copes well with the demands of conception, pregnancy, and labour. Osteopathy allows us to monitor health without unnecessary intervention.
Osteopathy and Sports Injuries
Osteopathy may be helpful in treating various sports injuries because it deals primarily with dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system. Osteopaths at the clinic have treated Olympic and other high profile athletes, as well as the average weekend warrior who loves their sport, whatever level they participate at.
Osteopathy and Work Injuries
All Osteopaths at Kew Osteopathic Clinic are registered with the Victorian Workcover Authority (now known as WorkSafe Victoria). Learn more about how we work together with your GP to come up with a custom-designed plan so you can get back to doing what you love, pain-free.
