  • Assessment and diagnosis
  • Treatment and rehabilitation

With minimal disruption to everyday business, an on-site Osteopathy Clinic team will also provide regular communication with management on specific cases and issues, including reducing and preventing unnecessary or prolonged absence plans and quickly identifying any relationship between the employee’s condition and their working practices.
