Osteopathy is a 'whole body' system, based on biomechanical principles. It uses manual therapy, hands on techniques such as massage, articulation, stretching and manipulation. Osteopaths focus on the treatment of joints, muscles and connective tissue.
The aim of all osteopathic treatment is to restore the body's natural ability to heal itself, aided by stress reduction strategies, improvements in lifestyle and diet.
Osteopaths in Australia are required to register with a registration board in the state or territory they intend to practice in.
The Australian Osteopathic Association is the national professional body representing osteopaths in Australia.
Osteopathy is a recognised form of treatment by the Motor Accidents Authority, WorkCover and the Department of Veteran's Affairs. All major private health funds offer rebates on osteopathic treatments.
Prospective clients can contact osteopaths direct, without referrals. However, referral is required under the Veterans' Affairs scheme, WorkCare in Queensland and Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan.
