Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine that recognizes the importance between function and structure of the body. Osteopaths aim to assist the healing of the body by focusing on how the muscles, joints, nerves, circulation, and connective tissue function together as a unit.
Through comprehensive evidence-based evaluation, diagnosis, and a wide range of treatment techniques, osteopaths can identify important types of dysfunction in your body. An Osteopath typically uses treatment techniques such as stretching, soft tissue work (massage of muscles, tendons, and ligaments) alongside mobilization, manipulation of specific joints and soft tissues using direct or indirect techniques.
Osteopathy for babies and newborns is an effective and gentle treatment for a range of conditions or issues parents might encounter. It is very normal to feel overwhelmed and or anxious when your little one is hard to console. Maybe you are new to the game or a seasoned veteran, there will be challenges for every parent in many different ways.
Here at Inline Osteo you can expect a detailed case history, looking at the pregnancy, delivery, and also dive into the ‘why’ you have come to see us. When we are done talking we move onto our testing phase, where we perform our normal baby checks (reflexes and hip alignment/ eye-tracking and more). Then we lead into looking at what is the main cause of your baby’s discomforts.
Treatment normally consists of a combination of functional movement (balanced ligamentous tension), Cranial Osteopathy (the indirect work on the rhythm of the cranial bones), and light touch techniques.
We work closely with parents in order to make a positive change in the clinic room and at home, by giving effective home care advice so parents have the tools when things get tough.
If your baby or child has a condition that needs further assessment or onwards referral for any reason, then we can advise on the specific pathways to see you get the care you need fast.

Osteopathy for sports-related injuries is a great way to get you back to what you love doing, and make sure the injury is not only fixed but is balanced back within the body’s natural movement. As we have a holistic approach, we don’t just look at the site of injury (knee for example), but also look at what other influences there might be on that particular body part (for example ankle/foot and hip alignment).
From weekend warriors to high performing athletes, we have a range of tools and management plans to help. We use an evidence-based approach to rehabilitation, and to make sure our patients not only get fixed but also stay that way with expert advice and guidance.
