Certainly a common question, and the simple answer is no, they're not the same. Osteopathy and chiropractic may both be hands-on, but their approaches differ.

Osteopathy is about holistic well-being, seeing the body as interconnected. We focus on personalised care, understanding the root cause, and promoting overall health. It's a tailored approach, considering your unique needs and health goals.

While both aim for well-being, osteopathy and chiropractic have distinct methodologies. If you're curious about how osteopathy can benefit you, drop your questions below or send us a message.

In the world of osteopathy, every smile holds a story of relief and restoration. Meet Hannah, our osteopath with a background as captivating as her treatments.

Behind that warm smile is a dancer's grace, a yogi's wisdom, and over 15 years of self-practice and yoga teaching. Hannah discovered osteopathy during her own journey of recovery from an injury, and her passion for this holistic approach became undeniable.

In this snapshot, she's weaving her expertise into a treatment, focusing on the intricate connection between movement and stress. Her Master’s research delved into this relationship, and now she channels that knowledge to guide her patients on their stress management journey.

Whether you're a seasoned mover or new to the world of physical wellness, Hannah's here for you. Her goal? To facilitate movement that feels not just good, but uniquely tailored to you. She's all about helping you achieve what's most important to you.

Beyond her treatment room, Hannah is a staunch advocate for inclusive healthcare. As a Pākeha practitioner in Aotearoa, she's committed to weaving the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi into her practice. Oh, and did we mention she shares her West Auckland home with her fury companion, Pickles?

Smiles, stories, and healing hands – that's the essence of Hannah's practice.

Welcoming a little one into the world is a journey full of adjustments, and our tiny patients at Kingsland Osteo are no exception. Here's a glimpse into how osteopathy can make a difference in the early stages of a baby's life:

For Moms-to-Be: Pregnancy is a monumental task, and it comes with its own set of challenges. From lower back pain to upper back tightness, osteopathy can ease the discomfort that often accompanies the miraculous journey of creating new life. We're here not just to reduce pain but to ensure your body is primed for the upcoming birth.

For Newborns: Those early days can be a big adjustment for our little ones. Osteopathy can play a crucial role in addressing any physical discomfort they may have inherited, whether it's from their in-utero position or the birthing process. We believe in giving your baby the best start, aligning their pelvis before labor and addressing any strains early on to prevent them from developing into larger issues.

For a Happier Baby: Babies communicate differently, and sometimes discomfort shows up as crying, restlessness, or difficulty sleeping. Osteopathy can be a game-changer, especially in soothing concerns like colic and reflux. Parents often notice positive changes in breastfeeding, ease of burping, reduced spilling, less crying, and better sleep. Hooray for happier babies and rested parents!

At Kingsland Osteo, we're not just practitioners; we're parents ourselves and your partners in your family's well-being journey.

In the McWha household, it's just another day wearing the dual hats of a dad and an osteopath. Today's focus: treating my daughter and delving into the unique world of teenage health.

Adolescence is a transformative journey, marked by growth spurts, changing bodies, and the inevitable bumps along the road to adulthood. Osteopathy, in my eyes, isn't merely about addressing ailments; it's about providing steadfast support for these incredible bodies navigating the tumultuous teen years.

Whether it's a sports-related injury, the postural challenges induced by endless screen time, or the general wear and tear that accompanies being a teenager, we're here for it all. And yes, that includes enduring the occasional eye-roll and 'dad, you're embarrassing me' moments.

Osteopathy, for me, transcends the professional realm; it's a personal passion, especially when it involves ensuring our teens not only survive but thrive. Because let's be honest, parenting a teenager is an adventure all its own.

A heartfelt message as Royden:

In the rhythm of life, my journey with osteopathy began on the fields of provincial hockey and the untamed trails of my beloved South Island. Each stride, each challenge, deepened my respect for the resilience of the human body. Today, as the co-owner and principal osteopath at Kingsland Osteo, my heart beats with a passion to heal. From intricate medical puzzles to the simplicity of a back strain, every case is a melody in the symphony of care. Babies to sports stars, each life I touch becomes a verse in the song of well-being. And beyond the clinic, a certificate in advanced nutrition adds a layer to my commitment to holistic health. Join me in this narrative of healing, where every chapter is a testament to the beauty of the human body and the art of compassionate care.

Ready to step onto the mat but unsure where to start? Don't worry! Look at Hannah, reminding us all that yoga is about the joy of movement, not perfection. Close your eyes, breathe, and let your body guide you. Flexibility is a journey, not a destination. Just move and let the magic unfold. Your mat, your rules.

We've heard it before - core stability! But what does it really mean?

Core stability goes beyond abs workouts; it's about functional strength for everyday life. From sitting at your desk to chasing your goals, a strong core is your secret weapon. When the core is tight or weak, osteopathic care, as applied by Ethan in this picture, can release tension in tight muscles, promoting flexibility. For a weak core, we tailor exercises to strengthen those muscles, enhancing your overall stability.

Flexibility and mobility, let's break it down!

Flexibility: Think of it as your body's rubber band. It's all about the lengthening of muscles. When you touch your toes or do a split, you're showcasing flexibility. It's like stretching that rubber band.

Mobility: This one is about function. It's how your joints move, like your shoulders, hips, and spine. When you can easily reach behind to grab your seatbelt or twist to look over your shoulder while reversing the car, that's mobility at work.

In essence, flexibility is the "stretchiness" of your muscles, while mobility is your body's freedom to move comfortably. Both are vital for overall well-being.

In the world of osteopathy, the power of gentle touch is often underestimated.

Sometimes, it's not about strength, but finesse. Gentle techniques can be just as effective, allowing us to unravel tension and find your body's unique path to healing. The key lies in listening and responding to what your body truly needs.

Life has a way of teaching us through discomfort and pain. Instead of numbing these signals with quick fixes, consider listening to what your body is telling you. Numbing pain with medication might offer temporary relief, but it often masks the underlying issues. Act in time, and you could prevent a temporary problem from becoming a lasting one.

Feeling like a desk-bound warrior for 8+ hours a day? Yeah, we get it, we've all heard the 'sit up straight' jazz. But here's the lowdown – it's not just about appearances. Your posture has a silent impact on your body over the years. Don't just sit, sit right!

Our spine, an unsung hero in our daily hustle.

It carries the weight of our ambitions, our responsibilities, and our dreams. But sometimes, that load becomes a little too heavy. That's where cranial osteopathy steps in – to ease the tension, to realign, and to bring balance back into your busy life.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible resilience of our bodies and the power of healing touch. Your spine, your support system.
