Always learning, always growing 🌱

Our team recently engaged in a valuable CPD session led by our very own Osteo Mel—who not only treats patients in the clinic but also works as an Occupational Rehabilitation Consultant.

Her dual perspective helps us bridge the gap between hands-on treatment and workplace recovery, so we can better support our patients’ full return to health and function.

Our osteopath Chris, is now a fully qualified Strength & Conditioning Coach, and he’s been given an exciting opportunity to support Gridiron Australia as a sports trainer at their upcoming national camp! 🏈

From July 6–13, Chris will be heading to the Gold Coast, where he’ll be working with the Australian Men’s, U18s, and U16s Gridiron (American Football) teams during a week-long training camp and international games against the New Zealand and Pacific Island All-Stars.

The photo features Chris and his brother following Victoria’s recent state win against Queensland — a special moment, as Chris supported the team as a trainer and his brother was selected to represent Australia in the U16s squad. 👏

We’re proud to have such passionate and skilled practitioners on our team — and can’t wait to see Chris bring even more elite-level knowledge and experience back to the clinic!

Back pain (non specific) is one of the most common reasons people seek Osteopathy each week.

When not linked to a serious condition, back pain may respond well to manual therapy, movement guidance, exercise rehab and postural education.

Osteopathic practitioners use hands-on techniques to improve spinal mobility, reduce muscle tension, and support your body's natural movement — all of which may help reduce discomfort in non-specific back pain.

📦 You don’t need to “just live with it.” Let’s explore what’s contributing to your pain and support your recovery.

Can you believe we’re halfway through the year already?

Some private health insurers reset their extras on June 30—meaning any unused entitlements may not carry over, depending on your fund and policy.

It can be a helpful time to check in with your provider and see what you're eligible for before the new financial year begins.

If you’ve ever been curious about osteopathy or had questions about what we do, feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to chat.

😬 Jaw pain, clicking, or tension when chewing or talking?

This may be linked to temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), which can be influenced by tight muscles or restricted movement in the jaw, neck, or upper spine.

Osteopathy may assist by gently addressing muscle tension and promoting mobility in related areas.

Manual approaches have shown potential in reducing pain and improving jaw function in patients with TMD. While more research is emerging, many patients report relief from hands-on care targeting the surrounding structures.

Did you know there are different types of headaches — and not all come from the head itself?

Some headaches may stem from tension or dysfunction in the neck, jaw, or surrounding muscles.

Osteopathic treatment may assist in relieving certain types of headaches — particularly tension-type and cervicogenic headaches — by addressing muscle tension and restricted mobility in the head, neck, or jaw.

Research has shown that manual therapy may provide short-term relief for adults with these types of headaches, when not caused by a serious underlying condition.

Our osteos, Sam & Chris took part in a great course this week: “Optimising Tendinopathy Treatment Outcomes with Focused Shockwave” 💥

They’re always keen to keep learning and stay up to date with the latest ways to help you recover faster and feel better — especially when it comes to tricky tendon issues.

Can’t wait to bring these new skills into the clinic!
