PAEDIATRIC OSTEOPATHY IS A FORM OF MANUAL MEDICINE WHICH RECOGNISES THE IMPORTANT LINK BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE OF THE BODY AND THE WAY IT FUNCTIONS.
Osteopaths in Menai focus on how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a holistic unit. Using skilled evaluation, diagnosis and a wide range of hands-on techniques, Menai osteopaths can identify important types of dysfunction in your body. Menai Osteopathic treatment uses techniques such as stretching and massage for general treatment of the soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) along with mobilisation of specific joints and soft tissues to create movement. Other osteopathic techniques include visceral work, dry needling, cranial osteopathy and counter-strain designed to place a joint or muscle in a position of ease to minimise pain.

What to expect in your first Paediatric Osteopathic session at KT Health & Wellness
At your first session, your Menai Osteopath will take your case history to establish when your pain first started, what your symptoms and concerns are and how they may have changed over time, the treatments (if any) you have received to date, and the impact your pain may be having on your life.
After learning of the history of your pain, your practitioner will carry out a hands-on examination, which comprises of various tests of the spine, nervous system, muscles and joints.
After identifying the underlying cause/s (which may or may not require referral for an x-ray, C-T scan or MRI), your practitioner will set some treatment goals, with the ultimate goal being to restore maximal, pain-free movement to your muscles and joints.
The osteopathy treatment techniques your Menai Osteopath will use in fulfilling this goal include:
- Spinal manipulation (Also known as an ‘adjustment’)
- Joint Mobilisation
- Muscle energy technique (MET)
- Soft tissue /massage
- Counterstrain
- Balanced ligamentous tension (BLT)
- Myofacial release
- Visceral manipulation
- Exercises/Rehabilitation
- Your treatment is not painful.
