OSTEOPATHY Osteopathy is a form of manual healthcare that recognises the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopaths 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, osteopaths can identify important types of dysfunction in your body. 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. In Australia, Osteopaths are Government registered practitioners who complete a minimum of five years university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques. Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners and are trained to recognise conditions that require medical referral. They are also trained to perform standard medical examinations of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems, and do not require a referral to obtain an appointment. Osteopathy is covered by most private health funds and by Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plans. Osteopaths are registered providers for DVA patients, as well as by workers’ compensation schemes and motor accident insurers.
At its origin, osteopathy is a holistic practice and can be extremely effective in the realm of preventative medicine, general health and pain management. At Health Management Centre our approach is not limited simply to the treatment of injury or pain, we are focused on healing the entire being, mind, body and spirit. All bodies are able to benefit from our techniques and we are committed to using all the tools at our disposal to help your body be the best that it can be. SCIO The SCIO (Scientific Consciousness Interface Operations System) is a universal biofeedback system that uses the electrical impulses emitted by the body to gather information about the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of the client. The SCIO then analyses the frequencies measured identifying imbalances in the body. For example, emotional disturbances, parasites, bacteria, virus, allergies, deficiency or excess etc. The SCIO then sends current back into the body in order to bring it back into a state of harmony. The SCIO is also able to suggest lifestyle changes that may help with the condition and also to identify areas where disease and emotion etc are linked to one another. The list of conditions it may help with is extensive.
