Soft Tissue Care Completes the Picture
At Spinal Symmetry, our osteopaths in Sydney and surrounds play a vital role in delivering whole-body musculoskeletal care. As part of the broader Spinal Symmetry method, osteopathic treatment focuses on the body’s soft tissues — muscles, ligaments and fascia — and how they interact with skeletal structure. Our approach combines these techniques with chiropractic principles to treat pain at its source, not just the surface symptoms.
Using manual therapy like massage, stretching and joint mobilisation, we aim to release tension, restore movement and support the body’s natural ability to heal. Whether you’re dealing with postural strain, chronic muscle tightness or joint restriction, our soft tissue care works in tandem with spinal alignment to bring the body back into balance. It’s not just effective — it’s integrated care that treats the whole person.
Let us help you move more freely, breathe more deeply and feel more comfortable in your body. Our qualified practitioners are available across Sydney and Newcastle. They have flexible hours and focus on personalised, accessible and results-driven care.

Targeted Manual Therapy with Purpose
Osteopathy works from the outside in — addressing the muscle and connective tissue patterns that often underpin skeletal misalignment. When joints aren’t moving well, surrounding muscles will compensate, becoming tight, weak or overactive. Left untreated, these imbalances can pull the spine and limbs out of alignment again, undoing even the best structural work.
That’s where the Spinal Symmetry method sets itself apart. By blending osteopathic soft tissue techniques with targeted chiropractic adjustments, we treat both the cause and the consequence of pain. Releasing muscular tension first allows the body to better accept spinal corrections. When muscles are functioning as they should, posture improves, movement becomes more fluid, and healing happens faster.
This dual approach gives your body the best chance of recovering well — and staying well. Explore our method today and feel the difference.
