Your initial treatment will take around 45 minutes. Your osteopath in Elwood will:

• Gain a thorough understanding of your history and circumstances that could have lead to your condition.
• Examine your body and identify the type, source and cause of symptoms.
• Diagnose your condition and discuss this with you.
• Provide hands-on osteopathic treatment using techniques such as soft tissue massage, stretching, manipulation and modalities like heat and ultrasound.
• Devise a treatment plan. We involve patients in treatment choices.
• Educate you about your condition.

Follow-up treatments generally last for 30 minutes.

Our goal is to educate our patients
