What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a hands-on healthcare profession that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and management of musculoskeletal pain and movement problems.

Osteopaths use a combination of manual therapy, exercise, education and lifestyle advice to help reduce pain, improve mobility and support your body's natural ability to move and function well.

At Kate Johnson Osteopathy, we believe every person is unique. That's why we take the time to understand your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and goals before developing a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Whether you're experiencing back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis, pregnancy-related discomfort or persistent pain, our aim is to help you move with confidence and return to the activities you enjoy.

What to expect at your appointment

Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive assessment to understand the cause of your symptoms and identify the factors contributing to your pain.

Your treatment may include:

• Hands-on manual therapy

• Joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques

• Postural and ergonomic advice
