Osteopathy Bentleigh
At Seaview Health Group our Osteopaths understand injury and pain. We know pain can be caused by many things, affecting various areas of the body. Our ability to listen, assess and accurately diagnose each patient successfully, allows us to provide an effective hands on approach to our Osteopathic treatment and provide long term sustainable solutions to your condition.
Our practitioners can identify and relieve pain that is the result of a dysfunction within the body using many of the diagnostic procedures used in conventional medical assessment and diagnosis. Although Osteopathy’s main strength, however, lies in the unique way we assess patients from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint and our ‘hands-on’ approach to treatment.
At SHG our expertise in Osteopathy allows us to effectively treat back, neck and shoulder pain, sports injuries, chronic pain and acute trauma, headaches, migraines and repetitive strain, as well as sciatica and nerve pain. Treatment can involve techniques such as soft tissue massage and stretching, along with mobilisation of specific joints and soft tissues, and importantly, will be tailored to the individual needs of the patient.

We combine our expertise to address your issues and get you moving again. We truly value you and your health, and we are committed to finding solutions that work and are sustainable.
Osteopathy can be used to successfully treat a wide range of injuries.
Headache & MigraIne
Muscle tension and joint restriction in the neck and shoulders are a major cause of headaches and migraines. With these restrictions and tightness in the head and scalp area, blood supply is reduced which can then cause pain.
SPORTS INJURY
Whether your interest in sport is professional or purely for pleasure, it can be incredibly frustrating if an injury stops you participating or impairs your performance.Osteopathic treatment not only accelerates the healing process and relieves the pain, it also identifies and resolves any problems in other parts of your body that have contributed to the original injury.
SHOULDER AND ELBOW
Shoulder and Elbow pain is a common condition we see at SHG. Our Osteopaths will aim to improve your movement and look at how wrist, elbow and shoulder problems may be influenced biomechanically from other body regions, such as the neck and upper back. This whole body approach means your osteopath may be able to reduce pain and improve mobility more efficiently.
HIP AND KNEE
Knee and Hip pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints. There are numerous conditions that can cause hip or groin pain. The most common ones that patients present with are: bursitis, osteoarthritis, muscle or ligament injury, referred pain from the lower back or ankle.
Our team will determine the cause of your knee or hip pain and most importantly help you correct the mechanical imbalances and other associated regions so that you can move around with confidence and comfort.
JOINT AND MUSCLE PAIN
At SHG we offer the combination of Osteopathy, Podiatry, Myotherapy, Massage and exercise methods such as Pilates or Exercise Physiology, which may be effective for treatment of muscular and joint pain.
Our Osteopaths address all of the structures that may be contributing to your joint or muscular pain. They use osteopathic principles and techniques to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. Some of these include ligament sprains, suspected muscle tears, tendonitis, bursitis and arthritis.
Osteo is based on the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself and that by manipulating the bones, joints, and muscles, the body can be brought back into alignment. Osteo treatment for joint and muscle pain is a natural way to treat many different conditions without the use of medication or surgery.
NERVE PAIN AND SCIATICA
At SHG we often see patients presenting with what they describe as ‘Sciatica’. Usually the patient has pain in the buttock or back of the leg. Although ‘True Sciatica’ is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve by bulging discs or arthritic changes in the lower back. This may cause pins and needles, burning, numbness or weakness.
Whether it is ‘true sciatica’ caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve or simply strong referred pain in the back of the leg our Osteopaths can take a medical history from you and assess you in order to diagnose your condition properly. Once a diagnosis has been made and the cause of your pain has been identified we are then able to give you the best advice, management and treatment for your pain.
TENDONITIS AND PLANTAR FASCIA
Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis are common causes of foot pain that occurs more in women than men. Mechanical dysfunction in the foot can often be the cause. It is common in runners, people who are overweight, during pregnancy or in people that wear poor footwear.
Patients typically find their symptoms are often worst first thing in the morning as the fascia or tendon have been in a shortened position for a long period of time while sleeping. Your Osteopath or Podiatrist will provide a thorough examination to provide an accurate diagnosis of your pain.
Pregnancy
Over the course of a pregnancy, a woman’s body must be able to adapt to both the structural & hormonal changes that occur to accommodate a growing baby.
BABIES & CHILDREN
Paediatric Osteopathy is based on the principle that many common ailments - whether minor or serious - result from an imbalance somewhere in the body caused by stress during pregnancy and the birthing process.
WORKPLACE Ergonomics & WHIPLASH
With most of us restricted to working from home, we have seen an increase incidence of chronic postural strain which often arises from repeated and prolonged activities that are usually associated with sitting at a computer all day or sedentary work.
When we sit for a prolonged period we get tired and we slump, causing us to curve our middle back and roll our shoulders forward. In order to look ahead or at our computer screen, we poke our head and neck forward. This is typically results in headaches and pain across the neck and shoulders.
arthritis
The musculoskeletal system is greatly affected by the ageing process. Gradually over the years our muscles lose their tone & our bones lose their strength. The elasticity within the body deteriorates thereby increasing our risk of injury. Many people with wear and tear (or arthritis) in their joints, even those waiting for hip or knee replacements, are not aware of the relief osteopathic treatment can provide.

What to Expect at Our Osteopathy Consultations near Bentleigh
We understand that the initial step to making an osteopathy consultation can be daunting. So, we’ve created some steps outlining our processes and what you can expect from our consults:
Initially, we’ll screen you so that you are placed in the care of the best practitioner and service possible.
Then, we’ll notify you, outlining what you can expect from your first consultation with us.
The first consult will be a long session and will proceed something like this:
A thorough medical history will be noted by our staff and doctors
An assessment of mobility and flexibility will be undertaken to determine if it’s related to the injury
A diagnosis as well as any exercise advice and prescriptions needed will be presented to you by the practitioner
You will be presented with a clear prognosis leading to goals that can be achieved to help you return to your daily life as normal (e.g. work, sport or extra-curricular activities, etc).
A management plan will be presented to you highlighting any future consultations that are required for treatment.
Notes and instructions will be provided for you to access our online exercise prescription platform.
A follow up from your practitioner will be provided to ensure your health condition is improving based on the management plan and to check if you have any further questions.
Osteopath vs Physiotherapist vs Chiropractor
Most people think a Physiotherapist prescribes exercises, a Chiropractor cracks spines and joints, and an Osteopath sort of does both. It’s important to note that ‘Osteo’, ‘Physio’ & ‘Chiro’ are professions – They’re not treatments or treatment styles. Each profession is qualified to diagnose, manage and prevent musculoskeletal conditions.
If you are trying to decide between an Osteopath, Physiotherapist or Chiropractor the real difference is a great practitioner, not their profession. The best practitioners get you moving and feeling better so you can get back to enjoying the things you love. That is exactly what our osteopaths aim to do with each treatment. Help you move better and feel good so you can enjoy life.
