What is Osteopathy?

Welcome to Better Bodies Osteo, situated on the North Shore of Auckland! Osteopathy is a highly effective form of manual therapy. Osteopaths employ a variety of techniques such as touch, soft tissue release, joint mobilization, and other physical manipulations to improve body movement and enhance overall well-being.

​

Your osteopath will evaluate your entire body through movements and tests to accurately diagnose and identify the underlying cause of your pain or dysfunction. As each individual is unique, your osteopath will create a personalized treatment plan for you. The holistic approach of osteopathy is well-recognized and accepted in New Zealand, by ACC, and worldwide.

 

Osteopathy is a comprehensive medical practice that takes a holistic approach to healthcare. It goes beyond just focusing on the local muscles and joints, acknowledging that pain and discomfort can come from various sources within the body. Osteopathy considers the interrelation of different body systems, such as the internal organs, respiratory and circulatory systems, and ligaments and connective tissues like fascia. By doing so, it aims to treat the patient's pain and discomfort as a whole.

What your osteopath treats:

​

Osteopathy is a highly effective treatment for a range of conditions, including, but not limited to lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, knee pain, poor posture, and limited mobility. Our experienced osteopath, Ray, has over ten years of experience in the industry and utilizes hands-on techniques such as gentle manipulation, mobilization, targeted pressure point release, soft tissue release, stretching, and patient education to help relieve pain and discomfort. If you're experiencing any of these issues, osteopathy may be a worthwhile consideration.​
