At The Osteo Centre, we've simplified the path to your well-being. Our approach is designed to make your journey to optimal health and pain relief as straightforward as possible.
Osteopathy is a form of allied health that focuses on how the body’s muscles, joints, nerves, and systems all work together. Osteopaths use hands-on techniques to improve movement, reduce pain, and support the body’s natural healing processes. The goal is not only to treat the area that hurts but also to understand what’s contributing to the problem and help prevent it from coming back.
Osteopaths treat a wide range of conditions, including back and neck pain, joint and muscle injuries, headaches and migraines, postural issues, arthritis, and pregnancy-related aches. We also work with sports injuries and rehabilitation to help you move and perform at your best. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual and their goals.
You don’t have to wait until you’re in pain to see an osteopath. Many people come when they notice stiffness, reduced mobility, ongoing aches, or after an injury. Others book in for preventative care or to optimise their health, posture, or performance. If something is affecting your daily activities, sleep, or ability to move comfortably, it’s a good time to book.
Dry needling is a treatment technique that uses very fine, sterile needles inserted into tight muscles or trigger points. This helps release tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It’s commonly used alongside hands-on therapy as part of a broader treatment plan, and it’s different to acupuncture—it’s focused on the muscles and soft tissues.
Yes. Alongside hands-on treatment, osteopaths often prescribe exercises such as stretching, strengthening, and rehabilitation programs. These are specific to your condition and designed to support recovery, improve function, and help prevent future problems. Exercise and movement are key parts of long-term health, so they’re often an important part of your treatment plan.
Most private health funds cover osteopathy under “extras.” If you have extras cover, you’ll usually be able to claim part of your consultation cost back on the spot. The amount you can claim depends on your health fund and level of cover, so it’s best to check your policy for details.
No referral is needed—you can book directly with an osteopath. However, osteopaths also work closely with GPs, specialists, and other healthcare providers, so if you’ve been referred or need collaborative care, we can coordinate with your healthcare team.
Your first consultation involves a detailed case history, physical assessment, and hands-on treatment. We’ll also discuss your goals and create a tailored management plan.
While there is some overlap, osteopaths take a whole-body approach, focusing on how the body’s systems interact. Physios often focus more on rehabilitation and exercise, while chiropractors typically emphasise spinal adjustments.
This depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some issues improve in just a few sessions, while long-term or chronic problems may need ongoing management.
Absolutely. Many women find osteopathy helpful for managing back pain, pelvic discomfort, and other changes that come with pregnancy. Treatment is always gentle and safe for both mother and baby.
Wear something comfortable that allows you to move easily. You may be asked to move through certain ranges of motion, so stretchy or loose clothing is best.
Osteopathy isn’t routinely covered by Medicare, but some patients may be eligible for a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan through their GP, which allows a Medicare rebate for a set number of sessions.
Yes. Osteopaths regularly collaborate with GPs, physiotherapists, specialists, podiatrists, and other health professionals to ensure you get the best care.
