Retrain Health Byron Bay

Does one session sort everything? Is osteopathy mainly hands on treatment? Do you need to know exactly what’s wrong before you book? Not quite.

An osteopathy appointment can involve taking a health history, assessment, hands on care, movement or exercise, advice and education, depending on the individual and what may be appropriate.

And you don’t need to arrive with your own diagnosis. Your osteopath can assess your presentation and discuss the next steps with you.

Will one osteopathy session make a difference?

It’s a fair question, especially when you’re feeling stiff or something keeps coming back.

There isn’t one response to treatment that applies to everyone. Your first osteopathy appointment is individual, starting with a conversation about what you’ve been experiencing, followed by an assessment and a discussion about what may be appropriate for you.

If stiffness or discomfort keeps returning or is starting to get in the way of your usual activities, you may choose to have it assessed.

Pain’s better. Ready to train again?

Feeling better is a good sign, but getting back to training after an injury isn’t always just about whether something still hurts.

Movement, strength, your current capacity and the demands of the activity you want to return to can all be part of the bigger picture.

At Retrain Health in Byron Bay, exercise rehabilitation can be tailored to the individual and what they’re working towards, whether that’s getting back to running, surfing, the gym or sport.

Does stretching actually do what we think it does?

Research supports stretching as one way to increase range of motion, both immediately and when performed regularly over time. But if you are stretching after every workout hoping it will stop you feeling sore tomorrow, the evidence is much less convincing. Research has found little to no clinically important reduction in post exercise muscle soreness.

And stretching before training? That is more nuanced than simply being “good” or “bad”. The type, duration and activity you are preparing for all matter.
Save this one for the next time stretching comes up.

“It only hurts when I do this.”
Followed, almost every time, by demonstrating exactly what “this” is.

If something keeps showing up with a particular movement or keeps coming back, it might be worth having a closer look.

“Osteopaths just crack backs, right?”

An osteopathy appointment can involve much more than hands-on treatment. Your osteopath may ask about what’s been happening, your health history and usual activities, assess how you move, and discuss what may be appropriate for you.

And no — every appointment doesn’t look exactly the same.
