OSTEOPATH
Bruce Lang
Bruce started Osteopathic practice in 1979. He is the founder of Sydney Osteopathy which he started in 1993, based in Bondi Junction. With over 40 years of practice, Bruce has developed a very eclectic style of treatment, which incorporates a variety of techniques from his postgraduate studies.
Central to Bruce’s practice is the ability to palpate pathological changes within the tissues. This is the basic skill of an Osteopath and, to a certain degree, distinguishes us from other medical professions. Putting your hands on countless unwell bodies trains the fingers to differentiate between very small changes in the tissue, aiding in accurate diagnoses and directed treatment.
Perhaps the most important approach to treatment was acquired from an ‘old-time’ practitioner in Melbourne. Over many years, Bruce observed and worked alongside his mentor. They would eventually develop what they have called the ‘neurovascular technique’, which involves gentle manipulation to free up the nerve pathways, lymph and blood vessels.
