Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a system of manual medicine, one that employs movement of the human body to help restore and maintain normal (or more normal) bodily function, so that the body is more able to ‘help heal itself’ from any stress/trauma/disease it may be exposed to, or develop.

Osteopathic treatment focuses on improving the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. Osteopathy employs a hands-on, holistic approach to the entire body, whereby the cause of the pain is sought after and treated accordingly. Osteopaths are primary health care providers, which means that you don’t need a general practitioner’s referral to see an osteopath.

Osteopaths undergo a five-year full-time course which includes a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Biology degree (BAppSc(HB)) and a Master of Osteopathy degree (MOst).

Massage Therapy

Whether your goal is to reduce stress, relieve pain, or enhance relaxation, massage may be beneficial to you. By using various techniques to target superficial and deep layers of muscles, massage can promote health and wellbeing.

Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) Therapy

Osteopathy Works is very excited to offer Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) therapy at our Dunedin and Balclutha clinics.

RPW therapy is indicated for conditions that are normally very difficult to treat. It is the best last resort if surgery has been suggested.

Workplace Ergonomic Assessment

Osteopathy Works Ltd offers an on site Workplace Ergonomic Assessment service. The assessment examines your work environment and the way you work in it, which determines how your work affects you physically. One of the most common causes of staff absence is back pain, and often this is caused by poor posture and poor office seating.
