What Osteopathy can help with:
Osteopathy is suited to treating a wide range of conditions and ages from birth through to old age. Many people visit an Osteopath because they are experiencing some kind of discomfort. Others come because they are unable to perform at the level they are used to, for example at work or a given sport or hobby. There are many reasons that an osteopathic treatment may be appropriate.
Clinic hours
Piha Osteopathic Clinic is open for consultations on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 8.20 and 4.15. However, there is some flexibility for acute and new patients. Please get in touch using the contact form, text or phone to discuss options.
ACC
Kate is an ACC registered osteopath. If you have incurred an injury as a result of an accident, ACC will subsidise the cost of your osteopathic treatment. You can fill out an ACC claim form directly at Piha Osteopathic Clinic so there is no requirement to go to your GP to lodge a claim prior to your appointment.

"Osteopathy is the art of using one’s hands to engage a therapeutic process governed by the health of the patient."
