My Approach
Dr Michael Cox uses a constitutional osteopathy approach at Osteopathica Margaret River to help your body find its most neutral position — the alignment that requires the least energy to maintain. By restoring this balance, tissues are supported to heal naturally, reducing pain and improving overall movement and function.
​
When the body experiences dysfunction, it compensates, often leading to poor posture and misalignment. Over time, these compensations can become habitual, causing ongoing discomfort and further strain.
​
Pain in one area, such as the neck, may originate from dysfunction elsewhere, such as a misaligned pelvis. Addressing only the symptoms without treating the underlying cause may provide temporary relief, but lasting improvement comes from resolving the root issue.
​
This holistic approach focuses on improving posture, relieving tension, restoring function, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. It is effective for back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, postural issues, and general musculoskeletal dysfunction.

First Time with Osteopathica
When you come to receive treatment, Dr Cox will take a through case history and examination, perform special tests if necessary, and refer you onto other healthcare professionals who may be better suited to help with your issues. If you have any results of imaging or other medical tests please bring them along
