About Osteopathy Lismore
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy, recognising the link between the structure of the body and its ability to function. Osteopaths are trained to focus on the skeleton, muscles, nerves, connective tissues, internal organs and circulation, and how they act together as a holistic unit. Osteopaths use skilled evaluation, diagnosis and hands on techniques to better identify any significant dysfunction, which may be occurring within the body.
Each and every injury is unique and that is why osteopathic practitioners and treatment will vary. Each practitioner is trained to assess the mobility of each problem area, ask questions relating to the issue itself, as well as your previous medical history. From this information, your practitioner will form a diagnosis and design a suitable treatment plan for each individual patient.
Other techniques may be used in conjunction with these techniques in order to address nerves, and organs more appropriately.
In order to gain an osteopathic qualification in Australia, each practitioner must have completed a Masters degree in Osteopathic Medicine. This degree heavily broaches a variety of subjects including anatomy, physiology, pathology, general medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques.
