Osteopathy

Dr Caitlin Boswell



Osteopathy is a form of hands on therapy that is now widely recognised as one of the most safe and effective manipulative therapies available.

At Salus, Osteopaths not only treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and neurological disorders, they address the whole body framework in patients of all ages and activity levels.

Osteopaths use gentle manipulation techniques such as mobilisation, resistance stretching, cranial treatment and functional treatment to assist patients to achieve normal pain free movement and function by correcting underlying dysfunction. Osteopathy is a gentle process that works with, and not against, the body.

Osteopaths effectively treat and manage lower and upper back, neck and joint pain, whiplash, pain associated with osteoarthritis, sciatica, sporting injuries such as tendonitis and strains, and stress related muscle pain. Osteopaths also treat digestive orders, recurrent headaches and migraines by correcting neurological imbalances, in conjunction with treatment provided by other complementary medicine practitioners.
