Total balance

At Total Balance Health Care, our osteopaths tailor a treatment to your specific problems to ensure the best results are achieved. This is done by the use of a thorough history and examination.

On initial consultation with the osteopath, you will be taken a detailed history in which your current complaint will be discussed. This will be followed with a complete examination running through various movements and tests to determine the cause of your complaint.

The osteopath will discuss with you what has been found and what the recommended treatment. Treatment will then commence to finish off the consultation. Our Osteopaths will utilise an array of hands-on techniques, including soft-tissue massage and stretching, joint articulation and mobilisation, and gentle cranio-sacral techniques. The initial consult will last for approximately 45 minutes. Any subsequent treatments will be for 30 minutes.

During all consultations, the osteopath will frequently discuss your progress and prognosis so that you are comfortable and fully understand your treatment process. At all times, you are welcome and encouraged to ask any questions that you have.

Osteopaths believe in the body’s natural ability to heal itself and we encourage our patients to utilise a home exercise and stretching program to decrease the number of treatments they require to restore their health and be active again. We also consider a healthy diet and nutrition, emotional wellbeing (through techniques such as stress reduction exercises and strategies) as important factors in your treatment.

All osteopathic consultations are covered by private health insurance "extra's" cover. HICAPS (instant electronic claiming) is available for your convenience.
