"Do you do knees?"
Osteopathy has been around for over 100 years as an effective option for treating many musculo-skeletal conditions. However, the name "Osteopathy" still causes much confusion among not only the public, but also health and health-related professionals.After almost 13 years in practice, I still frequently hear questions and comments such as "what do you do?" or "you only do bones don't you?" or "I thought you only did backs?". This tells me us Osteopaths have a long way to go educating everyone about the extent of our ability to offer manual therapy for a range of conditions from head to toe, and in all age groups from newborns to the elderly.
The Australian Osteopathic Association provides some helpful articles on their website about various conditions Osteopaths can help with.
