Frequently Asked Questions
This is one of the most common questions we are asked. There are some similarities between the three modalities both in conditions treated and in some of the techniques used. The main differences are found in the philosophies behind each modality and how the principles of treatment are applied.
The main principles of Osteopathy are that the body is a unit and that the structure and function of the body are interrelated. This means that damage to one area of the body can affect other regions of the body. Osteopaths aim to identify, treat and manage the cause of injury/pain/movement discrepancy so that the resulting symptoms are reduced efficiently. Our treatment techniques are hands-on, management and rehabilitation are practical and all are specifically tailored to your condition/injury/pain/movement discrepancy and your medical history.
Osteopaths in Australia had previously undertaken 5 years (now 4.5 years) of full-time tertiary education at university. This consists of a 3-year Bachelor of Science (Clinical Sciences) and 2-year (now 1.5 year) Master of Health Science (Osteopathy).
Osteopaths in Australia are required by law to register with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and complete 25 hours of continued professional development annually.
