Osteopathic treatment involves a diverse range of manual techniques including soft tissue stretching, mobilisation, inhibition and manipulation. These techniques allow a quicker return to physical activity and assist in improving elasticity, strength, endurance, mobility and performance.      

The aim of Osteopathic treatment is to:
Re-establish full range of motion, improve joint mobility and balance
Correct compensatory movement patterns that cause further strain on other parts of the body Strengthen surrounding muscles that may increase likelihood of recurrent sprain
Minimise or reduce guarding, swelling, inflammation and associated pain
Prescribe exercises and education to encourage patients’ self-management
Improve function in activities of daily living, including athletics specific skills

All of the Osteopaths at Oak Tree Osteopathy are government registered practitioners who complete a minimum of five years' university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques. Osteopathy is covered by most private health funds and by Medicare's Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plans. Osteopaths are registered providers for DVA patients, as well as by workers’ compensation schemes and motor accident insurers.
