Osteopathy and Paediatric Osteopathy in Williamstown

At Three Lanterns, we offer individualised osteopathic care for adults, babies and children, with a particular emphasis on gentle, hands-on approaches.

Osteopathy involves assessing the body’s structure, movement and function, considering how muscles, joints and other tissues contribute to physical comfort and mobility.

Our experienced osteopath, Dr Heather Munro, has undertaken extensive postgraduate training in cranial, biodynamic, visceral and paediatric osteopathy.

Our Osteopathic Approaches

Cranial and Craniosacral Osteopathy

Cranial osteopathy uses gentle, subtle hands-on techniques as part of an osteopathic assessment and treatment approach.

The techniques are adapted to each patient’s age, health history, physical presentation and comfort.

Biodynamic Osteopathy

Biodynamic osteopathy is a gentle, indirect approach within osteopathic practice.

It emphasises subtle palpation, patient comfort and a whole-person perspective, with treatment guided by individual assessment.

Visceral Osteopathy

Visceral osteopathy considers the movement and relationships of the soft tissues surrounding the internal organs.

Gentle manual techniques may be incorporated into an osteopathic consultation where appropriate.

Paediatric Osteopathy

We provide osteopathic consultations for newborn babies, infants, children and adolescents.

Paediatric appointments involve discussion of developmental history, relevant medical information and any concerns parents or caregivers wish to raise.

Assessment and hands-on techniques are adapted to the child’s age, development and comfort. Where appropriate, families may be advised to seek further medical assessment.

Osteopathy During Pregnancy and After Birth

Our osteopath also has postgraduate training in osteopathic approaches to pregnancy, obstetrics and gynaecology.

Consultations consider the physical changes associated with pregnancy and the postnatal period, including posture, movement, muscular tension and comfort.

What to Expect

Your initial consultation involves a detailed discussion of your health history, symptoms and relevant medical investigations.

An osteopathic assessment may include observation of posture, movement and musculoskeletal function, followed by a discussion of appropriate treatment options.

At Three Lanterns, we value careful assessment, clear communication and individualised care.
