Stillpoint Osteopaths, 54 Mt Eden Road, Auckland (2025)

28/11/2025

Structural Osteopathy involves the diagnosis and treatment of concerns in the musculoskeletal system.

Stillpoint Osteopaths Janice, Greg and Olivia offer both structural osteopathy and cranial osteopathy, depending on your needs and personal preference.

A treatment using structural osteopathy might involve a precise gentle joint manipulation of your spinal area, techniques to soften the muscles and reduce tension in the ligaments, as well as techniques to repattern muscle activity and assist in unravelling the impact of injuries.

While having a structural osteopathy treatment is not the same as going to the chiropractor, during the treatment some movements may cause a ‘popping’ sound in the joints.

Structural osteopathy targets muscles and joints, and can assist those with joint and muscle pains, sports injuries, sciatica, rheumatic pain, back pain, frozen shoulder, headaches, and migraines, among other physical ailments.

Structural osteopathy could also help you with tension in your neck or upper back from studying or computer usage.

Stillpoint Osteopaths and team have the skills to get to the root cause of your pain and limitations and work towards lasting results.

We hope to see you soon!

PEMF MAY IMPROVE SLEEP

Statistics suggest that one third of New Zealanders do not get enough sleep. There are numerous factors that might influence sleep, whether it is having difficulties falling or remaining asleep. Other contributing factors may include stress, anxiety and sleep disorders that may impact the quality and quantity of sleep.

The QRS Pulsed Electromagnetic field (PEMF) system is a low-intensity, non-invasive approach that may improve your sleep by providing a distinctive frequency program that works to assist the body to relax and prepare for sleep. The PEMF system’s unique settings help to stimulate the brain waves essential for healthy sleep.

The PEMF session involves lying on the QRS full body mat for 16-30 minutes. During the session, you might feel some warmth, tingling or nothing (all of which are common experiences).

The PEMF sleep protocol sessions range from 16-30 minutes. The duration of the session is determined by your age, medical history, medication, if you have had a previous PEMF session, and if you are a new patient or returning patient to Stillpoint Osteopaths.

Experienced PEMF practitioner Olivia Wells is available to discuss whether PEMF therapy may benefit you.

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED

Osteopaths treat the body as a whole, because every part influences the rest.

Think about it:
Those old ankle sprains from your teenage years, that heavy fall onto your tailbone, or even a knock to the head years ago, the pain may have gone, but did everything truly resolve?

Often the body compensates to keep you moving creating patterns that can eventually lead to persistent back pain, neck tension, or that stiffness that keeps returning no matter how much you stretch.

Janice has the curiosity and expertise to look beyond the pain and uncover what’s really causing what helping your body work in balance again.

Book an appointment with Janice today and start getting to the root of your discomfort.

Sarah Jackson - Senior Osteopath

You'll find Sarah at Stillpoint on Thursday evenings - perfect for those after school and work appointments.
Let's learn a little more about Sarah in her own words

" I have been practicing Osteopathy since graduating from Unitec in 2004 and specialising in Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) since 2007. I was always interested in health, but I did not learn of Osteopathy until my twenties and the more I learnt, the more I understood its philosophies and they made sense to me. I like how we never treat just a part; it is always with the whole in mind.

I used to work at Stillpoint Osteopaths about 12 years ago. Since then, I have travelled, continued my Post Graduate Education in OCF and practised Osteopathy part time while having 2 small children.

I chose to return because it is primarily a cranial practice and I wanted to work in an environment where continual learning is important, encouraged and facilitated. I also wanted to work with others who were passionate about their work. I am so excited to be re-joining and feel so privileged to be able to work with such an amazing team of highly skilled and dedicated professionals.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and love the diversity that Osteopathy brings, I enjoy working with both acute and chronic conditions and being part of a healthcare option that searches for and addresses the causes of symptoms rather than just the symptoms.

It is a joy to experience positive changes with people that makes lives better with increased mobility and reduced discomfort. Seeing people get better is rewarding.

Outside of work I am pretty busy with my little family. We have lots of fun playing on our little boat, falling off my paddleboard, hanging out at beaches, bushwalking, and exploring. I also love to cook and read in quieter moments."

Traditional Child Massage — Gentle Touch for Growing Kids

For generations, Chinese families have trusted Traditional Paediatric Massage to nurture children's health and wellbeing, a legacy I’m proud to offer New Zealand families today.

This 2,000-year-old gentle therapy uses rhythmic, calming techniques drawn from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support a child’s natural growth, vitality, and resilience. Similar to infant touch therapy, it strengthens the parent-child bond while uniquely focusing on a child’s changing developmental needs.

Benefits for Your Child:
• Emotional Balance & Bonding: Rhythmic motions promote security, helping children feel calm and connected
• Better Sleep: Soothing techniques ease tension, fostering deeper relaxation for better sleep patterns.
• Digestive Comfort: Gentle abdominal motion may ease common digestive discomfort.
• Natural Vitality: Rooted in TCM principles, this approach supports the body’s innate balance without medication or chemicals.

Rooted in centuries of community practice, this natural approach is now available in New Zealand, offering a chemical-free option aligned with modern parents’ values.

Each session is tailored to your child’s individual needs, blending playfulness with therapeutic purpose building the foundation for lifelong health in a natural, gentle way.

Traditional Child Massage is offered at Stillpoint Osteopaths by experienced TCM practitioner Renjie (Jay) Xi. Jay is available on Mon/Tue/Thu.

Respect

Last week, a patient described their experience with another health professional in just a few words:
“I felt like I was on a conveyor belt.”

Those words stayed with me.
Because behind them is a feeling we’ve all had at some point of not being seen, of not being heard. Of our story not fitting into a readymade box and so being overlooked.

This isn’t unique to one profession; it can happen anywhere in healthcare. When it does, people are left carrying not only their symptoms, but also the weight of dismissal.

At Stillpoint Osteopaths, we hold to one of our most important values: respect.
Respect means honouring your experience of your body.
Respect means listening with curiosity, not assumptions.
Respect means working with your body through gentle, skilled palpation to understand why it is expressing itself in this way.

For us, there is no conveyor belt.

Post-Viral Symptoms getting you down?

Over the last 8 weeks, many of our patients have been recovering from Influenza B and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), often left with chest tightness, post-nasal drip, lingering cough, and post-viral fatigue.

If this sounds familiar, osteopathic care may help. By gently working with your upper back, chest, and neck, we can help restore mobility and reduce tension in areas that may be holding you back from feeling fully energized.

Early research is encouraging too: a recent study on osteopathic treatment for Long COVID-19 patients with post-viral fatigue showed promising results in helping patient with their fatigue. While more research is needed, these findings are exciting.

Reference: “Acute Effects of Osteopathic Treatment in Long COVID-19 Patients with Fatigue Symptoms: A Randomized, Controlled Trial,” J Clin Med. 2025 Aug 27;14(17):6066.

If you’re struggling with lingering symptoms after a viral infection, reach out today to support your recovery and reclaim your energy.
