About Osteopathy
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment used to relieve pain, restore range of motion, and enhance the body’s capacity to heal. It is used for a wide range of conditions including:
- Back and Neck pain
- Headaches
- Joint pain (ankle, knee, shoulder and elbow)
- Repetitive stress injury (RSI-OOS)
- Postural problems
- Sport injuries
- Acute and chronic pain
- Stress
- Pregnancy related pains
- For baby: Colic, wind, reflux
Osteopaths specialise in hands on musculoskeletal health care. There are different techniques used during treatment such as soft tissue massage, articulation, manipulation or cranial techniques. The choice of technique is intended to provide the best outcome depending on a patient’s individual needs.
Treatments are safe, gentle, effective and suitable for all ages.
What happens during your consultation?
The first consultation takes up to one hour. This includes a thorough case history and consists of questions about the current problem, past history and general health. This initiates the basis for a diagnosis which is completed with a postural and physical assessment.
Following the diagnosis a management plan will be agreed upon before treatment starts.
The treatment is carried out with the patient fully clothed unless specific tests have to be performed.
Follow up can either last for 45 or 30 minutes depending on the individual requirements.
About Me
Melanie Lous (M.Ost) Master of Osteopathy, London.
Registered Osteopath.
Member of the Osteopathic Council of New Zealand (OCNZ), Osteopaths New Zealand association and accredited ACC treatment provider. My particular interest is in Biodynamic Osteopathy, which is a gentle technique used to achieve substantial changes without further stressing the body. Combining this with a vast array of massage and structural osteopathy techniques, I provide a unique combination of treatment, which is personalized to each patient.
Having previously trained as a massage therapist, I graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in London. After gaining experience in different practices around London I moved to Wellington at the beginning of 2012.
Over the years I have seen many different patients with both chronic and acute symptoms. I enjoy helping them move away from pain and limitation by restoring their health and getting them back to being their best.
In my spare time I enjoy cycling, skiing, dragon boating and cooking.

Testimonials
“Melanie Lous has been treating me for three months, and the changes she has coaxed from my body have been wonderful. I came to see her with stress, tension, headaches and exhaustion, after only one or two sessions I felt calmer and more together, both physically and emotionally. Melanie’s touch is gentle and warm, the sort, in fact, that makes you want to cry it is so soothing!
With regular sessions, my headaches have almost gone, pain and tension in my neck has disappeared, and my body feels lighter and more fluid. Her holistic approach, and her ability to ‘listen’ and respond to my body, have been a gift for which I am deeply grateful.”
