What is Osteopathy?
If you’ve never had an osteopathy treatment before, then you’re in for a treat! Osteopathy is a manual medicine – meaning we use our hands to heal your aches and pains. Best known for our ‘whole body’ approach, Osteopaths are problem solvers that look to find the root cause of your pain.
Appointments
Here in New Zealand, ACC compensates for a portion of the treatment. This applies when you have had an accident in New Zealand within the year and have filled out an ACC form with us or another healthcare provider who is registered with ACC.
Feel free to contact us and ask whether you are eligible for ACC.
Appointments are 1 hour for an initial appointment, 40mins for a follow up.

Children
Kids in Wānaka are a little different, often found flying down the slopes, kicking up dirt in Sticky Forest or performing a double cork on a trampoline.
