What is Osteopathy Report

Osteopathy is a gentle treatment using a variety of hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat structural and bio-mechanical dysfunctions in the body. As Osteopaths, the emphasis of our treatment is on the whole person and not solely on their symptoms. We treat muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints and fascia to support the body's self-healing mechanism, to gently release any strains present, relieve pain and discomfort and improve mobility.

What to Expect Report

A thorough case history is taken followed by any relevant physical and orthopaedic examination. Treatment involves hands-on techniques, which will help your body to restore its natural state of balance, alignment and function. Most people feel increased movement and decreased muscle spasm / strain after treatment.

Dry Needling Report

Dry needling is a technique involving fine filament needles, (similar to those used in acupuncture) it's application is used to release myofacial trigger points (MTP) and tight muscles. By placing the needles in either a shortened muscle or a MTP it stimulates a healing response to release and lengthen or deactivate and desensitize the affected muscle.

Absolutely top Osteopathy practice. Leanne on reception is the consummate friendly professional. Carissa and Tessa brilliant osteopaths. Not only do I go to the practice for my own treatments but refer many of my clients with complex musculoskeletal issues to them.

I'm amazed how quickly the pain in my back from arthritis was reliefed after the first few sessions with Tessa. I wish I discovered this kind of treatment much earlier and stubbornly used to think chiro was the only way to go for the last 20yrs. This is next level and my sleeping quality has improved dramatically.

I use to attend a clinic in Kensington and left due to poor staff and reception attitude. These lovely ladies have been there for me ever since. I would highly recommend either Tessa or Jess, both are knowledgable and friendly. Reception here actually cares and want to help. They are not about the money and will only recommend you for the amount of bookings you actually need at a very reasonable price. I genuinely feel better after attending. A+++++

I definitely recommend them. I have been following Courtney since she came to Adelaide, which is now 10 years, until she opened her own. She is amazing and has helped me get through some tough times over the years. My healer 🤗👌

Highly recommend! Such a relief that my pain was significantly reduced after just one appointment. Really happy with the service. Professional, friendly (and you don't feel like they are watching the clock)

Clearly one of the best osteopath you could work with. The professionalism is amazing and the efficient is too. Dr Gardner made it simple and easy for me to understand what was going on then proceeded to mend beautifully what needed to be addressed. I came in with a few months of bad pain and left feeling ready to run a 10K. Thanks again !

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr David Gardner. After 1 visit had relief after days of back pain! I'd never received osteopathic treatment before but would highly recommend it.

It has taken years to find an Osteopath this good!! Have seen chiro's, osteo's and you name it to help with my pain management. Courtney is the best! Soon enough she'll be too busy to except new clients. Enjoy!!
