Frequently Asked Questions about Osteopathy
What does an osteopath do?
An osteopath is a healthcare professional who focuses on how your body’s structure affects the way it functions. They assess how your joints, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues work together, identifying any areas of restriction or imbalance. Using gentle techniques such as joint mobilisation, stretching, and soft-tissue manipulation, osteopaths aim to improve movement and reduce pain. At Delta Sports Therapy in Maribyrnong, our osteopaths take a holistic approach that looks at how your entire body moves rather than just one area. We focus on relieving tension, restoring mobility, and promoting balance to help you move more comfortably and perform at your best in everyday life.
What conditions can osteopathy help with?
Osteopathy may assist with a wide range of musculoskeletal concerns and physical conditions. It is commonly used to help with back and neck pain, headaches, postural issues, and joint stiffness. Our osteopaths at Delta Sports Therapy also treat a variety of sports and lifestyle injuries such as jiu-jitsu strains, ACL rehabilitation, tendinopathy, and plantar fasciitis. Shoulder, wrist, and elbow injuries including golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow are also frequently managed with osteopathic care. Through hands-on treatment, education, and exercise guidance, osteopathy supports natural healing, improves circulation, and restores movement so that you can feel stronger and more balanced in your body.
What happens during my first osteopathy appointment?
Your first osteopathy appointment begins with a detailed consultation. Your osteopath will take time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and any symptoms you are currently experiencing. A physical assessment follows, where posture, joint mobility, and overall movement patterns are evaluated to identify the underlying causes of discomfort. Once the assessment is complete, your osteopath will explain their findings and discuss a personalised treatment plan. In most cases, you will also receive gentle hands-on treatment during the first session. Techniques may include stretching, joint articulation, or soft-tissue therapy. You will also receive practical advice and exercises to continue supporting your recovery at home.
Is osteopathy safe?
Osteopathy is a safe, recognised, and evidence-based form of manual healthcare in Australia. All osteopaths at Delta Sports Therapy are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) and have completed extensive university training in anatomy, physiology, and clinical practice. Treatments are always tailored to suit your comfort and condition, and only gentle, appropriate techniques are used. Osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages, including children, older adults, and pregnant women. During your appointment, your osteopath will explain each step clearly, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable throughout your treatment.
How many osteopathy sessions will I need?
The number of osteopathy sessions you may need depends on the nature of your condition, how long you have had it, and your personal health goals. Some patients feel noticeable improvement after just one or two visits, while others may benefit from a longer-term plan for ongoing pain management or rehabilitation. At Delta Sports Therapy, your osteopath will create a structured treatment plan after your initial consultation, outlining what to expect and how to maintain progress between visits. The focus is always on helping you achieve sustainable improvement and preventing the recurrence of symptoms through education and tailored movement strategies.
Do I need a referral to see an osteopath?
You do not need a referral from your doctor to see an osteopath. You can book directly with Delta Sports Therapy at any time. However, we often work collaboratively with GPs and other allied health professionals such as physiotherapists or dietitians to ensure your care is well-coordinated. If your GP provides a chronic disease management plan, you may also be eligible for Medicare rebates for a limited number of osteopathic sessions. Our team can assist you with this process and we also offer on-the-spot private health claims through HICAPS.
What should I wear to my osteopathy appointment?
For your appointment, wear light, comfortable clothing that allows your osteopath to assess your movement easily. Activewear or loose-fitting clothes such as shorts and a T-shirt are ideal. Your osteopath may ask you to move, stretch, or demonstrate specific movements to evaluate your posture and flexibility. In some cases, they may also need to treat certain areas directly, so wearing clothing that provides easy access to the affected regions ensures the session runs smoothly. Your comfort and privacy will always be respected throughout the consultation.
Does private health insurance cover osteopathy?
Most private health insurance funds in Australia include osteopathy as part of their extras cover. The rebate amount depends on your specific health fund and level of cover. At Delta Sports Therapy, we make claiming simple by offering on-the-spot processing through HICAPS. If you are unsure about your eligibility, we recommend checking with your insurer before your appointment. Patients referred by their GP under a chronic disease management plan may also be eligible for partial rebates through Medicare, depending on the condition and referral type.
How does osteopathy differ from physiotherapy or chiropractic care?
While osteopathy, physiotherapy, and chiropractic care share similarities, they each have distinct philosophies and approaches. Osteopathy takes a whole-body view, examining how muscles, joints, and connective tissue interact to influence movement and wellbeing. Physiotherapists often focus more on rehabilitation through exercise and strengthening, while chiropractors concentrate primarily on spinal alignment. Osteopathy combines gentle manual therapy, mobilisation, and education to address imbalances throughout the entire body. At Delta Sports Therapy, we integrate osteopathy with other complementary treatments such as Pilates, stretch therapy, and rehabilitation programs to ensure a well-rounded approach to health and recovery.
Can osteopathy help with sports performance and recovery?
Yes, osteopathy can be highly beneficial for both sports performance and recovery. By improving joint mobility, enhancing muscle balance, and reducing tension, osteopathic treatment can help you move more efficiently and prevent injuries. At Delta Sports Therapy, we work with athletes of all experience levels, from weekend runners to competitive martial artists and jiu-jitsu practitioners. Our osteopaths assess movement patterns, identify restrictions, and provide targeted treatment to optimise performance. Whether you are returning from an ACL injury, managing tendinopathy, or seeking support with post-training recovery, osteopathy encourages your body to perform at its best and maintain resilience through consistent care and education.
