Empowering you to heal
At GM Physiotherapy, we believe in empowering our clients to take an active role in their healing journey. We provide education, support, and practical strategies to help you better understand the connection between your physical symptoms and emotional well-being. Our goal is to equip you with the tools and resources you need to manage your symptoms effectively and improve your overall quality of life.
Comprehensive Assessment and Individualised Treatment
We begin by conducting a thorough assessment to understand the underlying factors contributing to your psychosomatic symptoms. Our osteopaths take the time to listen to your concerns, explore your medical history, and identify any physical imbalances or dysfunctions that may be exacerbating your symptoms. From there, we develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, goals, and preferences.

Understanding Osteopathy and Chronic Pain
While not always a psychosomatic condition, chronic pain has significant impacts on overall wellbeing and managing chronic pain in a holistic way can provide more sustained and effective benefits. Using osteopathic techniques and holistic treatment, we can help improve the severity and impact of chronic pain conditions. Using hands-on techniques such as soft tissue massage and craniosacral therapy in conjunction with holistic management of your health and wellbeing, we can help you regain the power to maintain your own health. Let us help optimise your chronic pain management so you can get back to what you love.
Gold Coast Osteopath
At our Gold Coast physiotherapy practice we understand that pain is not always just physical. In most cases, mental stress, anxiety, worry and trauma that isn’t processed can show up as major physical conditions that interfere with health, which can hijack your health and wellness. When the interaction between body and mind becomes so convoluted that physical pain and suffering are the result, we call these conditions ‘psychosomatic disorders’ and label them as problems that interfere with one’s wholeness. Osteopathy is noninvasive, and provides a holistic method of treating that simple pain, but seeking out and treating the root of that pain so people can avoid pain in the future and thus have better health.
What Is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is an allied health manual therapy that aims to improve the performance of the muscles, joints, and neurological system for good health as well as providing targeted treatment to reduce pain and dysfunction. It also aids the body in repairing itself, leading to improved health in general. When we treat patients with psychosomatic symptoms, we aim to reduce stress, optimise circulation, calm their nerves, and guide their body, once again, into balance for optimal health. That can be a game-changer for people when standard treatments have not been entirely effective, particularly for pain control and where the root causes of pain have been hard to pinpoint.
In patients with chronic tiredness, lower back pain, tension headaches, irritable bowel syndrome and continuous pain in their muscles and bones, the status of their health improves through osteopathic therapy. Osteopathic treatment can reduce the impact of stress and emotional tension on physical health by integrating a hands-on approach with supportive dialogue and body awareness; thereby optimising health.
Collaborative Care and Support with our Osteopath Services
We understand that managing psychosomatic conditions have complex origins and often require a multidisciplinary and holistic approach, which includes strategies for pain management and promoting overall well-being. At our clinic, we work in collaboration with your other healthcare providers, including psychologists, counsellors, and doctors to understand your condition and contribute to optimum rehabilitation. This ensures you receive the fullest and most comprehensive care that deals with all aspects of your health and well-being. We also provide ongoing support throughout your treatment plan, helping you navigate challenges and celebrate successes along the way to enhance your overall quality of life.
Understanding Osteopathy and Psychosomatic Conditions
Psychosomatic conditions are those in which physical symptoms are influenced by psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or emotional health. These conditions can manifest in various ways, including chronic pain, digestive issues, headaches, fatigue, and other symptoms, ultimately impacting overall health and well-being. Our approach to treating psychosomatic conditions focuses on addressing both the physical and emotional components, utilising techniques like dry needling to promote healing and improve quality of life. These techniques can improve overall wellbeing, provide pain relief and help you get back to the things you love.
