Understanding Osteopathy and How It Works
Osteopathy is a hands-on form of Allied Health care that focuses on the relationship between the body’s structure and its overall function. It involves detailed physical assessment and targeted manual techniques to support joint mobility, soft tissue function and postural control. Osteopaths are trained to help patients manage pain, reduce restriction and support their physical wellbeing through practical, evidence-informed care.
Many people use Osteopathy as part of their approach to injury recovery, physical performance, postural concerns or general musculoskeletal discomfort.
What Manual Therapy Looks Like in Practice
Manual therapy refers to the physical techniques an Osteopath uses to support musculoskeletal alignment and movement. These techniques may include soft tissue release, joint mobilisation, targeted stretching and muscle activation. At Brisbane Livewell Clinic (Cannon Hill), Glenn Strutt selects specific techniques to meet the needs of each Murarrie patient based on their symptoms, work demands and goals.
This hands-on approach is designed to help support natural movement, reduce pain and increase confidence in physical activity.

In Our Experience
In the Experience of Our Practitioner
