Osteopathy is a gentle, whole-body approach to health that looks beneath the surface of your symptoms to understand what’s really going on. Instead of treating pain in isolation, osteopathy considers how the body’s structures—muscles, joints, nerves, connective tissues and circulation—work together.
At the core of osteopathic philosophy is the belief that:
When the body is in balance, it has an incredible capacity to heal itself.
Osteopathic treatment aims to restore this natural balance. Using hands-on techniques that work with, rather than against, your body, your osteopath supports ease of movement, healthy function, and a greater sense of comfort within your body. By improving mobility, posture and the flow of nutrients, the body is better able to repair, regulate and thrive.
This is the foundation of osteopathy—and it’s also central to how Brad works with every person he treats.
What Can Treatment Include?
Brad’s treatments are always individualised. After a thorough initial assessment, he tailors your care to your needs, goals and preferences. Your treatment may include a combination of techniques such as:
- Soft tissue massage
- Gentle stretching
- Joint mobilisation
- Muscle Energy Technique
- Counterstrain positioning
- Functional or indirect techniques
- Direct joint mobilisation
- Visceral techniques that support the mobility and function of internal organs
- Dry needling, when appropriate, to help release muscular tension and support recovery
Every session is adapted to your comfort level, and Brad checks in regularly to ensure the treatment feels safe, supportive and right for your body.
