Our main point of difference from other Osteopaths in Albury Wodonga & Corowa
At Sports & Spinal Albury Wodonga our practitioners have completed various extra training in techniques such dry needling, cupping and kinesio taping to further enhance our ability to treat dysfunctions. All techniques are carefully chosen to suit you, the individual, with the aim of helping you recover quickly. We not only want to meet your goals, wants and needs, we want to exceed them.
But we don’t stop there. Client education is always at the forefront of our treatment. We want you to really understand what can be done by you, through stretching, mobilisation, exercise or activity modification, to help increase injury healing times.
All this means you leave knowing what your problem is, how long it may take to get better, what you can do to help it and how you can prevent recurrence. The full package.
What to expect in your consult?
Your initial consultation will involve a comprehensive assessment where we ascertain your relevant past history, including previous injuries and medical history, followed by a physical exam to determine not only the diagnosis but also find the root cause of your problem. This will be discussed with you and a treatment plan will be formulated to accommodate your needs.
The treatment itself will vary from individual to individual, but will often include a combination of hands on therapies, dry needling, taping, advice, exercise prescription as well as other options.
