Functional Osteopathy

Functional Osteopathy

We use many diagnostic procedures applied in conventional medical assessment. Your osteopath seeks to restore the optimal functioning of the body, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.


The human body has an amazing capacity to repair and recover. Osteopathy helps remove any barriers to that process.


In short, an Osteopaths aim is to help restore optimal function, but more importantly, prevent pain returning and injuries from reoccurring.

FAQS @ Susannah Makram Clinics – Can I claim osteopathy on my private medical insurance?

Many private health insurance policies provide cover for osteopathic treatment.  It may be possible to claim for a course of treatment. It is advisable to check in advance with your insurance company before seeking Osteopathic treatment, in order to confirm the available level of cover and whether you will need to have a referral from your GP or a specialist.

Functional health — How?

What about Functional Nutrition

Can the right functional testing can help us make small, simple changes to our diet? Changes that have a greater impact on our quality of life.

In modern times, we want our nutritional facts and we want them NOW! But are they up to date? Where are the clinical trials?
We say we need to change. What we need is to stop saying it and take action before it’s too late.

Our choices of nutrition are becoming recognised – finally! – as massive drivers to our health. This is good news because in modern times we’ve never been sicker. Our food has a lot to answer for.

Preventing lower back pain. Checking in to avoid checking out.
Usually, the first thing one in three people suffering with low back pain relate to is the frustration. If only we were told. If only we were warned how much time they would lose. If only they knew they’d have to skip work. As leaders or employers, running a business… Can you imagine? Not being able to work because of low back pain?

Sometimes we get muscle strains and ligament sprains. They can affect our quality of life. There are differences between the two but both are dealt with very differently from person to person.

We could have the exact same diagnosis or prognosis as the next person but our experience of lower back pain is different. This is why improving our quality of life is one of the these two, depending on you and not depending on your diagnosis.

There are some warning signs to be aware of. Lower back pain can need urgent medical attention. Know the signs and spare yourself and your family, long lasting, life threatening, or potentially disabling disease or health complications.

Innovative ways to categorise and measure pain are currently being studied. For example, scientists are using computer-assisted technology to develop a novel programme that will capture and quantify pain experiences. Tools such as this will be combined with existing methods to more accurately and consistently measure pain over time and across groups, diseases, and conditions.

Lower back pain treatment

Lower back pain treatment

  • The diversity of pain conditions requires a diversity of research and treatment approaches.
  • According to the National Center for Health Statistics (2006), approximately 76.2 million, one in every four Americans, have suffered from pain that lasts longer than 24 hours and millions more suffer from acute pain.
  • Pain can be a chronic disease, a barrier to cancer treatment, and can occur alongside other diseases and conditions (e.g. depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury).
  • Pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. Pain is cited as the most common reason Americans access the health care system.

Feeling tired all the time or anxious or restless is more common in people experiencing pain e.g. lower back pain. How can we help you feel refreshed and full of energy? 

Low back pain can creep in, where a little tiredness may have been.

Bad sleep quality and quantity can wreck or strengthen our bodies. If sleep can cause such dysfunction to our bodies then what about pain? Checking in for osteopathy before this happens makes sense.

Otherwise, we’re checking out. Our posture affects our functional health. Don’t have to take time off work — with NO GUARANTEES it will be a happy holiday.


Safe, clinical, practical and effective.
