Your Osteopathic Appointment

Sometimes it’s hard to know what to expect when going into a new type of treatment for the first time. Here are some key steps to help you feel at ease.

Step 1

At your first osteopathic appointment, we will do a full history. Notes will be taken of any important information and added to your file for future treatments.

Step 2

We then work through an external physical examination and osteopathic treatment. We use a variety of techniques depending on your symptoms, age, health and preferences.

Step 3

Your Osteopath will give you some ideas about the next steps for your treatment. This may involve some things you can do at home or a follow-up appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is an Allied Health profession that takes a holistic approach to each individual’s health care needs. Osteopathic treatment emphasises the connection between the body’s structure and overall function.

Along with hands-on treatment, osteopaths consider the psychological and social factors impacting each patient and can advise on posture, ergonomics, lifestyle factors, and mindfulness. Osteopaths may also refer for x-rays as indicated or to other health professionals for support outside their scope of practice.

Key principles of osteopathy include:

  • Holistic Care: Treating the whole body rather than just specific symptoms, considering lifestyle, diet, and emotional health.
  • Manual Therapy: Utilising skilled touch to manipulate muscles, joints, and tissues for optimal function.
  • Preventative Approach: Focusing on preventing injuries and maintaining health through regular treatments and advice on posture and ergonomics.

Whether you’re experiencing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or seeking to improve your overall health, Northside Therapies offers personalised treatments tailored to your unique needs. Our experienced osteopaths are dedicated to helping you achieve balance and enhance your quality of life through natural, non-invasive methods.

What conditions can osteopathy help with?

At our North Brisbane Osteopathic Clinic, we treat a wide range of conditions to enhance your health and well-being, including:

  • Musculoskeletal Pain: Alleviate back and neck pain, joint issues, and sports injuries through manual adjustments that improve alignment and mobility.
  • Headaches and Migraines: Reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches by relieving muscle tension and improving circulation.
  • Postural Problems: Correct imbalances from prolonged sitting or poor posture, enhancing overall body alignment.
  • Digestive Issues: Help manage conditions like IBS and constipation by improving organ function and reducing abdominal tension.
  • Respiratory Conditions: Support better breathing for asthma and COPD by enhancing diaphragm movement and reducing chest tension.
  • Women’s Health: Provide relief for pregnancy-related discomfort and menstrual pain with gentle, safe techniques.
  • Pediatric Care: Address issues such as feeding issues in infants and support healthy physical development in children.
  • Stress and Fatigue: Lower stress levels and boost energy through holistic treatments that relax muscles and improve circulation.

Our experienced osteopaths in Brisbane use personalised, hands-on therapies to promote natural healing and optimise your health. Contact Northside Therapies today to discover how we can support your journey to better health.

What can I expect during my first osteopathy appointment?

During your first osteopathic appointment, your osteopath will take a detailed medical history and discuss your symptoms and lifestyle. This will be followed by a physical examination, assessing your posture, muscles, and joints to identify any areas of tension or restriction. The osteopath may perform gentle manual techniques, such as stretching, massage, or joint mobilisation, to help relieve discomfort and improve movement. You will also receive advice on exercises, posture, or lifestyle adjustments to support your recovery. Your comfort and consent are a priority throughout the session.

What number of osteopathic sessions will I need?

The number of osteopathic sessions you’ll need depends on your condition, its severity, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people feel improvement after just one or two sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment over a longer period. Your osteopath will discuss your specific needs and create a personalised treatment plan during your first appointment. They will also provide guidance on exercises and lifestyle changes to support your progress between sessions. Regular reassessments will help determine if further sessions are needed.

Are your osteopaths qualified?

Yes, all our osteopaths hold relevant qualifications from accredited institutions and are registered with AHPRA; many of them are also registered with Osteopathy Australia. For more information, visit our Meet Our Team page.
