Berwick Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual healthcare that recognises the important link between the structure of the body and its ability to function at its maximum ability.

After five years of University training and compulsory continued education every year, our Osteopaths are able to use skilled evaluation and diagnostic training to discuss with you a reason and educate you about the cause of your pain, and create a unique, specific and tailor made treatment plan for you.

Our body has the most incredible innate ability to heal itself. However, due to lifestyle factors, inherent weaknesses, stress and other factors, most people are living with sub-optimal health and at some stage in their life will develop a major chronic disease.

Health coaching provides us with a powerful tool to promote health and prevent disease rather than just managing symptoms and enables our body to reach its full health and healing potential.Whether you suffer from a chronic disease, would like to lose weight, reduce pain, have more energy, or simply strive for optimal health, consulting with a health coach will help you achieve your individual health goals.
