What is Osteopathy?

Manual therapy has been an important and effective component of health care since ancient times.

 

Osteopathy is the oldest of the three main physical therapy professions. It was founded in the American Medical Profession during the mid 1800’s and by the early 1900’s had become established in Europe.

 

Osteopathy is a profession that combines a broad range of manual and physical therapies as well as exercise rehabilitation and patient education.

 

The manual therapy techniques include:

  • soft tissue massage
  • joint mobilization and traction
  • specific joint manipulation when it is required

The number of Osteopaths has increased dramatically in the past few decades due to the establishment of two university based courses here in Victoria.
