Osteopath in Brisbane

An osteopath is a university-trained healthcare professional who treats musculoskeletal conditions using hands-on techniques including soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, stretching, and manipulation. At Osteoworks in Brisbane, our osteopaths assess your whole body — not just where it hurts — to identify and treat the root cause of your pain, rather than just masking symptoms.

Osteopathy is not generally covered by Medicare unless you have a Chronic Disease Management plan (formerly Enhanced Primary Care plan) referred by your GP. However, most private health funds in Australia cover osteopathy under their extras cover. Osteoworks has HICAPS on-site, so you can claim your health fund rebate instantly at our Kangaroo Point clinic.

Initial osteopathy consultations at Osteoworks in Kangaroo Point include a thorough assessment, diagnosis, and hands-on treatment. We offer competitive pricing for Brisbane osteopath services.

While both treat musculoskeletal conditions, osteopaths take a holistic "whole body" approach — looking at how all parts of your body interact and contribute to your pain. Physiotherapists typically focus more on the specific injured area with exercise-based rehabilitation. Osteopaths use more hands-on manual therapy techniques in each session. At Osteoworks, we combine both approaches for the best outcomes.

No, you do not need a referral to see an osteopath in Brisbane. Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners, meaning you can book an appointment directly. However, if you have a Chronic Disease Management plan from your GP, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates. You can book an appointment online or call (07) 3217 3131.

Osteopaths treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including lower back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, hip pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, sports injuries, tendonitis, arthritis, work-related repetitive strain injuries, and posture-related pain. At Osteoworks Brisbane, we focus on finding the root cause and creating a personalised treatment plan.

At Osteoworks, all appointments are a minimum of 30 minutes, one-on-one with your osteopath. We don't rush appointments or treat multiple patients at the same time. This allows us to properly assess, treat, and discuss your progress and next steps in every session.

Yes, osteopathy is widely recognised as a safe form of manual therapy. Osteopaths in Australia complete a minimum of 5 years of university training and must be registered with the Osteopathy Board of Australia.
