Osteopathy is a form of healthcare that examines the link between the structure of the body and the way the body functions.  Osteopaths examine and treat the skeleton, joints, nerves, muscles and connective tissues, as well as remaining focussed on the body as a holistic unit.

Osteopaths are trained in skilled evaluation and diagnosis, and use a wide range of techniques to treat identified musculoskeletal dysfunctions.   For example, techniques used include soft tissue therapy or massage and mobilization of joints with manipulation, articulation and muscle energy techniques.

In Australia, osteopaths are registered with a government body called AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency). Osteopaths must have completed a minimum of five years university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques, prior to being permitted to practice.

Osteopaths are considered primary healthcare practitioners and are trained to recognise conditions that require medical referral.  Therefore, osteopaths are trained to perform standard medical examinations of the main systems of the body such as the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Osteopathy is covered by most private health funds and osteopathic care can be covered by Medicare’s Chronic Disease Management (CDM or EPC) plans.  Osteopaths are registered providers for DVA (Department of Veteran’s affairs), worker’s compensation and the Traffic Accident Commission.
