Practitioners
We have five Osteopaths across two clinics in Wanaka and Queenstown to help you on your way to full recovery and preventative health. All of our Osteopaths at MetaMed have a structural approach meaning we're direct and hands-on with treatment and prescribe rehabilitative exercises. We look at you uniquely and all parts related to your pain and injury.
