Osteopathy, Physiotherapy and Remedial Massage in Keilor
What is Osteopathy
Expert Hands-On Treatment for Pain Relief and Mobility
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that aims to improve health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework—particularly the joints, muscles, and spine. It is a holistic approach to healthcare that recognises the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions.
At Keilor Health Centre, our osteopaths focus on restoring mobility, alleviating pain, and enhancing the overall function of the body. Through comprehensive assessment, we identify imbalances in posture, structure, and movement, and develop personalised treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.
Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions related to the muscles, joints, and connective tissues. Common issues we treat include:
1. Back, neck, and shoulder pain
Often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or underlying joint dysfunction.
2. Tension-type headaches and certain migraines
Particularly those that originate from musculoskeletal tension in the neck and shoulders.
3. Pregnancy-related discomfort
Including lower back strain, pelvic instability, and joint pain as the body adapts to physical and hormonal changes.
4. Lower back, hip, and pelvic pain
Whether from prolonged sitting, physical work, or injury.
5. Childhood musculoskeletal conditions
Such as growing pains, posture concerns, and sports-related injuries.
6. Sports injuries and rehabilitation
Helping to reduce recovery time and improve performance through targeted manual therapy.
Osteopathic Techniques
Treatment involves a variety of hands-on techniques designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes. These may include:

To relax tight muscles and improve circulation.
Joint mobilisation and manipulation

Muscle energy techniques (METs)
A form of assisted stretching that enhances muscle function and joint mobility.
