Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine, meaning it is completely hands on. Osteopathy requires a 5 year course, including a two year Masters in Osteopathy. As a result, Osteopaths are primary care practitioners allowing them to refer directly for diagnostic scans such as x-rays and MRI’s. You don’t need a GP referral to see an Osteopath and the majority of health funds cover osteopathic treatments.
