Local Osteopaths near Saint Helena

What is Osteopathy?

‘Health’ means to be free from injury & illness, let us help find the health in you.– Symmetree Team

Symmetree Osteopathy proudly offers quality care to local Saint Helena residents and surrounding communities.

Osteopathy is a unique system of health care which utilizes diagnosis and hands on treatment to improve the structure and function of the body. Using a combination of orthopaedic assessment, rage of motion testing, functional and postural motion, and medical imaging (when required), our osteopaths will formulate a treatment plan that is tailored to each patient’s needs.

Osteopaths at Symmetree Osteopathy will use hands on treatment that includes soft tissue massage, joint manipulation/mobilization, stretching, shockwave therapy, dry needling, massage, muscle energy techniques and more. Your Osteopath may also prescribe appropriate rehabilitative programs/exercises, life style and postural recommendations, and nutritional advice, emphasizing the ‘whole person’ approach to achieve optimal health.

At Symmetree Osteopathy all of our Osteopaths are registered with the Osteopathy Board of Australia and are members of the Australian Osteopathic Association (AOA) – the national professional body representing Osteopaths.
