How Osteopathy & Exercise Rehabilitation Can Help Your Recovery

Recovering from an injury or managing pain can sometimes feel overwhelming. Osteopathic care and tailored exercise rehabilitation can work together to help your recovery, improving tissue healing, mobility and helping you feel stronger so you can get back to doing the things you love.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopaths are primary health care practitioners who can assess, diagnose and treat neuro-musculoskeletal injuries or concerns. Osteopaths look at the body as a whole, using manual therapy, exercise rehabiliation and management advice aimed at relieving pain, and restoring mobility and function.

Osteopathy may assist with a variety of conditions including acute or chronic muscular aches and pains, headaches and migraines, neck, back, pelvic and hip pain, shoulder and elbow discomfort, sports injuries, pregnancy related pain, post partum recovery and c-section scar release, along with aches and pains associated with arthritis or other degenerative conditions.

Why Combine Osteopathy with Exercise Rehabilitation?

While osteopathy aims to reduce pain and improve movement, exercise rehabilitation strengthens your body and supports long term recovery. Personalised exercise programs, including pilates, stretching and guided rehab exercises, rebuild muscle strength, enhance flexibility and reduce the risk of future injury.
