Geetha's approach with osteopathic treatments have been so effective and gentle. My neck and back pains have settled down, I now have preventative Osteopath care as a means of keeping my aches and pains to a minimum (or to none). Thank you so much.

Therapist Dr.Geetha Soosay Osteopath |
Osteopaths are considered primary carers who diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the body. Osteopathy is considered a manual therapy that encompasses treating the whole body, using a wide range of manual therapy techniques. Osteopaths successfully treat soft tissue elements such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, the nervous system and organs along with skeletal elements such as the joints and spine. Osteopathy treatment focuses not only on the injury/disorder, but more importantly our Osteopaths are skilled to identify the primary cause and educate people on how to prevent it from recurring. Here at our Hawthorn centre, our team of highly qualified osteopaths regularly prescribe exercises such as Pilates as an integral part of treatment. Osteopathic care at Soma is available to all ages from newborn babies through to the elderly, using gentle but effective treatment techniques. Specialising in pregnancy related pains and pediatric osteopathic care.
