Osteopathy Nelson is an osteopath on the first floor at 54 Montgomery Square, Nelson East, Nelson, with a Google rating of 4.8.
An osteopath assesses how the muscles, joints and spine are working and uses hands-on techniques such as stretching, soft tissue work and gentle joint movements to ease pain and improve movement. A first visit usually includes questions about your health, injuries, work and lifestyle, followed by an examination and a talk about what is likely to help, so wear clothes that are easy to move in. In New Zealand, osteopaths are regulated health practitioners, so check that your practitioner is registered with the Osteopathic Council, and ask whether ACC can cover an injury. See a doctor first for severe, sudden or unexplained pain, numbness or weakness. Regulars follow the exercises they are given, since they help results last, and they book follow-ups only as advised. As the clinic is upstairs, check access if stairs are difficult.
