Osteopathy is based on the philosophy that structure governs function. If the body’s structure is correct, then it can function at optimal health.
The main objective of osteopathy is to improve the body’s structure in order to normalise its function. To do this, hands-on techniques are used – such as soft-tissue massage, joint mobilisation and manipulation, and myofascial stretching.
Dr. Skye Duncan (Osteopath) and her experienced team possess more than two decades of expertise. We excel in managing and treating neuro-musculoskeletal conditions, employing a holistic approach that considers the intricacies of pain and disease for each individual’s care.

At Noosa Osteopathy, our skilled Osteopaths utilise both structural and cranial techniques, depending on the patient’s unique needs and condition.
Here are some ways in which osteopathy can help:
- Pain Relief: Osteopathic techniques can be effective in relieving various types of pain, including back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and headaches. By addressing musculoskeletal imbalances and restrictions, pain can be reduced or eliminated.
- Improved Mobility: Osteopathic manipulative techniques can improve joint mobility and range of motion, making movement easier and more comfortable.
- Postural Improvement: Osteopaths can assess and correct postural issues, which can help alleviate strain on muscles and joints and improve overall posture.
- Rehabilitation from Injuries: Osteopathy can aid in the rehabilitation process following injuries, surgeries, or accidents. It can help reduce scar tissue formation, promote healing, and restore normal function.
- Enhancing Circulation and Lymphatic Drainage: Osteopathic techniques can improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can assist in reducing swelling and promoting tissue healing.
- Stress Reduction: Osteopathic treatments can have a calming effect on the nervous system, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
- Support for Pregnancy: Osteopathy can provide support and relief for pregnant women experiencing musculoskeletal pain or discomfort.
- Pediatric Care: Osteopathy can be beneficial for infants and children, helping with issues such as colic, unsettled babies, and musculoskeletal imbalances.
- Sports Injuries: Osteopathy can be used to treat and prevent sports-related injuries by addressing biomechanical issues and promoting optimal musculoskeletal function.
- Overall Well-being: Osteopathy focuses on treating the whole person, considering the interconnectedness of body systems. By promoting balance and harmony within the body, overall well-being can be improved.
It’s important to note that while osteopathy can provide relief for many conditions, it may not be suitable for all health issues. If you are considering osteopathic treatment, it’s essential to discuss your specific concerns and determine if osteopathy is the right approach for you.
