Common questions about osteopathy in Spotswood

Both are effective for musculoskeletal conditions. Osteopaths typically take a whole-body approach and use more hands-on manual therapy. Physios often focus more on exercise rehabilitation. Many people find osteopathy particularly helpful for pregnancy, babies, and chronic pain. We’re happy to discuss which approach might suit you best.

Yes! Osteopathy is safe throughout pregnancy and very effective for back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica, and other pregnancy-related discomforts. We use pregnancy-safe techniques and can modify treatment positions for your comfort.

Yes, we accept most private health funds and process claims on the spot with HICAPS. We also accept WorkCover, TAC, and DVA patients. If you have a Chronic Disease Management Plan from your GP, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates.

It depends on your condition. Some acute issues improve in 1-3 sessions. Chronic conditions may need ongoing care. We’ll discuss a treatment plan after your first appointment and adjust based on your progress. We want you to get better, not become dependent on treatment.
