Osteopathy

Specialised rehab for spine health, rehab and adjustments available.

At FORMA, osteopathy is approached as part of a broader rehabilitation and performance framework. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, our osteopaths assess how different systems within the body interact and adapt to physical, occupational, and lifestyle demands.

This includes consideration of:

  • Joint mobility and control

  • Muscle coordination and load tolerance

  • Movement patterns and posture

  • Breathing mechanics and nervous system regulation

Pain and restriction are viewed as information. The clinical goal is to better understand contributing factors and guide care accordingly.

What to expect in a treatment?

Assessment before treatment

Every osteopathy session at FORMA begins with a detailed assessment. This helps identify:

  • Relevant movement or mechanical restrictions

  • Areas of overload or compensation

  • Factors that may be influencing recovery or performance

Hands-on treatment is then selected based on these findings, not applied routinely or automatically.

Purposeful Hands-On Care

Manual therapy is one tool within osteopathy, not the entire intervention.

At FORMA, hands'-on techniques are used to:

  • Support Joint and Soft tissue mobility

  • Reduce Protective msucle tone when appropriate

  • Improve movement options before retraining

Treatment is always linked to a broader plan and adapted as your presentation changes over time. .

Integrating Treatment with Active Care

Osteopathy at FORMA is commonly combined with:

  • Movement retraining

  • Strength and Stability Exercises

  • Breathing and Nervous System Strategies

  • Education to support self-management

All practitioners at FORMA work within a shared clinical philosophy

Reset. Retrain. Reinforce

  • Reset: Use appropriate hands-on care to support movement and comfort

  • Retrain: Address movement patterns, breathing, and control

  • Reinforce: Build strategies aimed at supporting ongoing function and resilience

This framework helps ensure consistency, collaboration, and clarity across care
