What Is Osteopathy and What Does It Involve?
Osteopathy is a registered Allied Health profession focused on the connection between structure and function in the body. It uses detailed assessment and hands-on techniques to support joint function, muscular release and physical balance. Osteopaths help patients manage strain, restriction and discomfort through practical, evidence-informed care.
Patients often book Osteopathy for pain relief, recovery support, postural correction or to improve how their body moves under daily load.
How Osteopath Therapy Works
Osteopath therapy includes physical techniques that may assist in reducing tension and improving mobility. These include joint articulation, muscle stretching, soft tissue techniques and myofascial release. Glenn Strutt uses these methods based on a clear assessment of what your body needs to function better.
His approach is suitable for people dealing with both acute and long-standing issues and is tailored for long-term physical improvement.
