How our Footscray osteopaths treat your condition.

No two people move the same way. Once we’ve assessed your symptoms and movement, we’ll select treatment options that suit your needs and comfort. Your treatment may include the following techniques:

  • Soft Tissue Massage

    Hands-on soft tissue work may be used through tight, tender or overworked muscles. It can help settle tension and encourage smoother, more comfortable everyday movement.

  • Joint Manipulation

    This technique applies a precise, controlled movement to an appropriate joint. It may be used to improve movement where stiffness or restriction is affecting function.

  • Dry Needling

    Dry needling involves placing fine needles into selected muscle areas. It may be used to reduce muscular tightness, settle sensitivity and support easier movement with less ongoing discomfort.

  • Cupping

    Specialised cups create suction over selected areas. Cupping may be used around tight soft tissue to help ease tension and improve how comfortably the area moves during everyday activity.

  • Shockwave Therapy

    Shockwave therapy uses controlled acoustic energy over certain persistent tendon and soft tissue concerns. It may assist the natural recovery process when clinically appropriate.

  • Counterstrain

    Counterstrain places the body in comfortable positions designed to reduce sensitivity around irritated areas. It’s a low-force option that may help movement feel easier and smoother.

  • Rigid & Kinesio Taping

    Taping can provide support to a muscle or joint during everyday activity. The type of tape used will depend on your symptoms, movement, treatment goals and the level of support needed.
