Osteopathy is a system of manual medicine and physical therapy that has been helping people with the musculoskeletal injuries and pain since the 19th century by an American physician- Dr. Andrew Taylor Still. Osteopathy is a government registered allied health profession here in Australia and is one of the most effective physical therapies for the treatment and management of musculoskeletal pain, dysfunction and injury.

A number of our practitioners at Inner Balance Health Clinics have undertaken additional training in a technique called Dry Needling. Dry Needling involves the use of an acupuncture-type needle that is inserted into the irritated portion of the muscle or 'Trigger Point'. The aim is to achieve a local twitch response to release muscle tension and pain.
