Osteo for Families and Telehealth / Online Consultations Now Available

Welcome to Osteo for Families,
You are reading this as you have recently booked an online ‘telehealth’ consult with one of our amazing Osteopaths or are looking for more information about our Online Consultations.


Telehealth is very different from your usual Osteopathic experience. There is no getting undressed and having an Osteopath poke and prod you before they commence treatment. But we will:

  • Still take a thorough history

  • Still complete a thorough assessment over the secure video link (either Cliniko or Zoom conference call)

  • Still provide you exercises BUT we will also use the exercises to form part of your treatment.

So be ready to move and if possible grab your spiky ball, hand weights or resistance bands if you have them; if not don’t stress!!!


Like a normal Osteopathic consult, when you finish your Telehealth consultation your Osteopath will leave you feeling confident about your diagnosis, and our plan to help you become pain free ASAP.


To continue with the next step of treatment, here is all the legal jargon we need you to understand and consent to!
