RED ORCHID WELLNESS ADVERTISING FEATURE Wednesday January 18, 2017 SOUTH COAST REGISTER 26 southcoastregister.com.au OSTEOPATHY is a type of manual medicine that pri- marily targets the musculo- skeletal system and is one of the available therapies at Red Orchid Wellness Clinic. Osteopathy is a govern- ment regulated practice which safeguards the com- munity to ensure that every osteopath keeps up to date on the latest research, treat- ment and management of their patients. Statistically osteopathy is one of the fastest grow- ing health professions in Australia. Put simply, osteopathy in- volves hands on techniques to move and manipulate the body to improve the way it functions. Osteopathy involves a range of direct techniques in- cluding soft tissue massage, stretching, joint mobilisation and joint manipulation ... but it's the indirect tech- niques that set osteopaths apart from chiropractors and physiotherapists. Indirect techniques can be used when a person is in too much pain, for example a therapist may place the body into positions of ease which will help to reduce the pain, instead of pushing through barriers of tightness. Osteopathy treats muscu- loskeletal aches and pains as well as common nerve entrapment syndromes in- cluding: neck and back pain, headaches, overuse injury, sprains and strains, preg- nancy pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome and occu- pational injuries. Osteopaths can be seen directly without a referral or in addition to the care pro- vided by a GP. DVA, WorkCover, health fund and Medicare rebates available.

Leah saw the need in Now- ra for a professional clinic that offered a multidiscipli- nary approach under the one roof that had the focus on health and wellness. “It's a place where peo- ple can come and with the appropriate therapy have their pain treated, address the stress of a current situa- tion or past trauma, be pre- scribed herbs for the flu and have support through pre- conception care, pregnancy and menopause,” Leah said. “All our therapists are highly qualified and mem- bers of their respective asso- ciations. ey are committed to their work and keeping up to date with current evidence within the Complementary Medicine Industry, adhering to a strict codes of ethics and actively participating in a continued education policy. “At Red Orchid we believe being truly healthy can be achieved when all aspects of our lives are in balance and that even when one is con- fronted with disharmony or dis-ease, a sense of wellness can still be achieved.” Located at 3 Moss St, Now- ra (wheelchair accessible).
