How We Help
How Osteopathy can help
Osteopathy for optimal function.
Osteopathic philosophy is simple – the musculoskeletal system must be aligned for all body systems to function optimally.
Tight muscles, strains, and tensions in the physical body can restrict and compromise the body’s various systems.
An osteopath’s objective is to work with your body, assisting it in resolving pain, restoring health, and achieving optimum function and well-being, using their knowledge of the body’s anatomy and functions to determine the most effective approach for your treatment.
At Unity, Matthew Stewart has extensive experience working with bones, ligaments, muscles, fascia, blood and nerve supply to fully use the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
During your Unity appointment, Matthew will assess the ease and restriction of your body tissues, working to improve movement and comfort using various manipulation techniques, and will provide a rehabilitation exercise programme or practical ergonomic advice to help you achieve your prime.”

“My first time visiting an osteo, after tweaking my back during a trip to Auckland. I could barely move, but after the appointment I was much more limber and pain much relieved. Matt was outstanding, you have to let this man help you with your pain!
