Dr Craig Patrick incorporates osteopathic and yogic approaches to restore and stimulate the patient’s self-organising and healing capacities.

Osteopathy enhances integration of all physiological systems through the application of precisely localised and specific manual procedures. Therapeutic yogic forms and movement practices amplify osteopathic treatment and introduce patients to practices of rehabilitation and self-cultivation.

Osteopathic care offers holistic and thorough assessment & treatment for conditions such as:

• occupational overuse
• sporting and traumatic injury affecting the spine, all other joints and soft tissue structures
• arthritic conditions
• headache including migraine
• menstrual and reproductive dysfunction
• digestive complaints like reflux & IBS
• anxiety, stress & depression
• asthma and other breathing difficulties

Osteopathic care is gentle, safe and effective, suitable for all ages including children.

Oh and what does this softtissue thingy mean?

softtissue should be understood here as a noun rather than an adjective. It does not describe a sort of therapy or specific type of tissue. softtissue is a state and is intended to evoke ideas of health like resilience, flexibility, mutability, adaptability and self-organisation - its amplification & full emergence can also be seen as desired osteopathic treatment outcome. softtissue does have a broader anatomical reference - the ubiquitous fascia that permeates and is the dynamic scaffold of the musculoskeletal and other systems.
