What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a field of medicine that was founded by American doctor Andrew Taylor Still nearly 150 years ago. Dissatisfied with the harm caused by the 19th Century medical practices of his day, Still sought to reform the field with a new, holistic approach based around the unity of all body parts to help patients live healthy and pain-free lives.
Osteopaths detect, treat, and prevent health problems by focusing on the body as a whole. We work with the entire musculoskeletal system – the bones, joints, muscles, connective tissue, nerves, circulatory system and internal organs. This means that an osteopath near you can help with a range of problems, from acute injuries to chronic conditions to general health and wellbeing.
Common conditions we treat include:
- Back and neck pain
- Headaches
- Sciatica
- Osteoarthritis
Our techniques are highly adaptable, and we’re always eager to see how we can use them to help you. If you’re not sure if an osteopath near you can help, why not get in touch to see what we can do for you?
Your Treatment
As highly trained professionals, we recognise that no two bodies are the same. That’s why we treat every patient as an individual. When you come in to see us, we’ll ask about the specific problem you’re seeking treatment for, as well as background medical information about your health and past experiences. Your osteopath may ask you to perform a few simple movements while observing your posture and mobility. They may also use gentle palpitation of the muscles, ligaments, and joints to help identify tenderness and dysfunction.
After examination, you’ll be given an explanation of the cause of your pain, before your osteopath will proceed to treatment. Your treatment will be customised to you and may involve varied techniques. Our osteopaths are skilled in a wide range of therapies, including:
- Massage
- Mobilisation
- Stretching
- Manipulation Techniques
- Acupuncture

Our Services
As a family-oriented clinic, we understand the need for a variety of techniques to support the specific demands of different age groups. Our osteopaths are skilled in cranial osteopathy. This is a very gentle practice that is focused on static holding positions. This is the preferred therapy for newborns, babies, and pregnant mothers.
Osteopathy is pregnancy safe and can help you prepare for the arrival of your little one. Our osteopaths near you are trained in gynaecological and obstetric conditions, ensuring not only that you get the treatment you need, but that both you and your baby are in safe hands.
Our qualified osteopath in New Plymouth treats the same conditions as a chiropractor including low back pain, headache, or pain in other joints of your body. Chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment and the care of the nervous system in order to relieve pain, improve posture, and help the body function better.
These services are just some of the wide range of therapies our osteopaths use to help offer our patients the best possible holistic care.
