As a holistic system of diagnosis and treatment, osteopathy recognises the interconnected nature of the body and the person as a whole, and understands that each person is a totality of body, mind and spirit. In practice, the osteopath listens to the patient with this totality in mind, recognising that an imbalance between these aspects, or past traumas and illnesses may affect the person’s current state of wellbeing.
As an AHPRA registered healthcare professional Kristine understands that osteopaths are part of the big picture of the health care system. The priority is to work in the best interests of the patient, which may involve referrral to GP’s and other healthcare providers when necessary.
Kristine enjoys seeing people through all stages of life and supporting the wellbeing of the whole family. She runs Balmain Osteopaths, a well-established private practice in Sydney and in 2020 decided to call the Southern Highlands home.
