Is This You?

Esteban’s Approach

Chronic pain rarely has a single cause. Esteban's assessment looks beyond the painful tissue itself to the biological (inflammation, nervous system sensitisation), mechanical (movement patterns, load), and lifestyle (sleep, stress, nutrition) factors that keep pain switched on long after the original injury has healed.

Treatment combines hands-on osteopathic and physiotherapy techniques with graded movement and education, so you understand what is driving your symptoms and what you can do about it — supported, where relevant, by heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring to track how your nervous system is responding over time.

What to Expect in Your First Session

Your first appointment includes a thorough history of your pain, a physical assessment, and a conversation about the lifestyle factors that may be contributing. You'll leave with a clear explanation of what is happening in your body and the first steps of your plan.

Common Questions

Can osteopathy actually help chronic pain, or just acute injuries?
Yes — osteopathy is well suited to chronic pain because it looks at the whole person, not just the painful area, addressing the nervous system and lifestyle factors that keep pain persistent.
Will I need long-term treatment?
+
It depends on your history and goals. Many clients need a structured course of visits initially, then move to occasional maintenance or self-management once their plan is working.
Is this covered by ACC?
+
If your chronic pain relates to an accident or injury, an ACC claim may apply. Esteban can help lodge a new claim or work with an existing one during your visit.
