Osteopaths are allied health professionals that offer a patient-centred approach to healthcare which recognises the vital link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a holistic unit.

In Australia, osteopaths are AHPRA registered practitioners who complete accredited university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general healthcare diagnosis, and osteopathic techniques.
