Chiropractic, Osteopathy & Remedial Massage Degrees in 2023 

According to the Good Universities Guide – 

Chiropractors diagnose and treat health problems related to the nervous, muscular and skeletal systems, particularly the spine, without the use of drugs or surgery. They adjust patients' spine or other joints to correct joint dysfunctions interfering with proper nervous system control and integration of body function.

Osteopaths diagnose, treat and provide preventative advice about disorders that affect the body's musculoskeletal system, using manual techniques to alleviate stresses and dysfunction to improve the body's function.   They treat patients using a variety of manual techniques, such as soft tissue stretching, muscle relaxation, gentle mobilisation or manipulation

Massage Therapists assess and treat the soft tissue of the body for therapeutic purposes. They administer treatments to promote relaxation, improve blood circulation and relieve muscle tension.There are courses in Victoria that prepare students for careers in these three disciplines, and some of these are listed below.  For a comprehensive list of these offered by all institutions, as well as similar courses, browse VTAC.
