Osteopaths diagnose and treat problems with muscles, ligaments, nerves, and joints to help the body heal. Treatment involves gentle, manual techniques - easing pain, reducing swelling and improving mobility. Osteopaths also offer you personal advice on stretching and strengthening exercises, posture, work ergonomics and stress management.
Osteopathy is based on unique biomechanical principles and is now widely recognised throughout the world as one of the most scientifically validated and effective complementary therapies. Osteopathy is a form of manual healthcare which recognises the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions.

After six years of full time study at the University of Western Sydney, a Bachelor of Applied Science in Osteopathy and a Masters degree in Osteopathy, Mark worked in a busy Osteopathic practice located in Peakhurst for five years commencing 2001 before moving to Queensland as a registered osteopath working in two clinics on the Gold coast.
Osteopaths recognise the fact that structure and function are reciprocally interrelated and that the body is a complete unit - therefore on this basis, treatment approaches aim to optimise the musculoskeletal systems and their interfacing elements such as the nerves, blood vessels, lymphatic tissue and other organ systems.
What is Osteopathy? The modern roots of osteopathy date back to 1872. Dr. A.T. Still, a physician, believed that the body contained all the elements necessary for its own healing and that much of the pain and disability we suffer stems from abnormalities in our bodies structure and function. Osteopaths diagnose and treat problems with muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints to help the body heal.

This review is a long time coming. Mike you have fixed my back, calf and neck. Unlike other practitioners you never suggest I come back for multiple visits unless it's needed. You fix it the first time and that's why I keep coming back. Thank's a bunch for keeping me out on the waves mate. Your expertise is very much appreciated and you are a credit to the practice.
