Our Osteopaths are passionate about helping you take proactive steps to protect your bones, whether you're 25 or 65.

Did you know that Osteoporosis affects over 2.1 million Australians and 2 out of 3 women with osteoporosis will experience pain from an osteoporotic fracture. ⁠

Osteoporosis weakens bones, making falls and fractures more likely.
But here’s the key..... prevention starts earlier than you think.
Bone density peaks in your late 20s to early 30s, and begins to decline naturally from around age 35. That’s why building and maintaining strong bones early in life is essential for preventing osteoporosis later on.

Our Osteopaths are passionate about educating and supporting our clients to prevent reduction in bone density. Osteopaths help by encouraging and advising on safe, weight-bearing movement and improving posture and balance to keep your skeleton strong.

Read our blog to find out how you can maintain good bone health or chat to one of our Osteopaths for more information. Link in bio.

Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can affect joints, sleep, and energy.

Up to 60% of women going through menopause report joint aches, especially in the neck, shoulders, hands, and knees. This discomfort can be compounded by sleep disturbances, low energy, and emotional changes all tied to the hormonal shifts your body is navigating.

Osteopathic care targets aches and stiffness, boosts circulation, and supports your body's natural healing processes, helping you feel more balanced through this transition.

Our Osteopaths understand how complex this stage of life can be — physically, mentally, and emotionally. We’re here to help you move through it with greater ease, comfort, and confidence.

Post Natal Osteopathy

After childbirth, your body goes through a significant recovery process. It takes time to heal, rebuild strength, and adjust to new demands like feeding, lifting, and less sleep.

Osteopathic care can support you during this stage by helping restore pelvic alignment, improving core stability, and addressing postural changes that often come with caring for a newborn.

Gentle, hands-on treatment can ease discomfort, improve mobility, and help you feel more balanced and supported as you recover.

Taking care of yourself is an important part of caring for your baby.

Women's Health Week 2025: Say yes to you!

As women, we often put others first with caring for family, juggling work, managing households, and holding everything (and everyone) together. Somewhere in the mix, our own health and wellbeing can quietly slip down the list.

This Women's Health Week is a reminder that you matter too.

It’s time to Say Yes to You. To start to listen to your body, to prioritise rest, and to get the support you need.

Osteopathy can be a powerful part of that journey. Whether you're managing stress, hormonal changes, injury, or simply looking to feel more in tune with your body again.

You don’t need to wait for something to go wrong to care for yourself. Even small steps toward your health can make a meaningful difference.

Your breath is one of the most powerful tools for calming your nervous system, especially when paired with osteopathic care. Deep, slow breathing activates the vagus nerve, sending signals of calm to your entire system. But here’s the key: your ability to breathe deeply and effectively is closely tied to the mobility of your ribcage.

Osteopathic treatment can help restore natural movement in the ribs, diaphragm, and thoracic spine, making it easier for your lungs to fully expand. When the ribcage moves freely, your breath becomes more efficient and that means greater stimulation of the vagus nerve and deeper nervous system regulation.

Combine breathwork with osteopathic techniques that support cranial, spinal, and ribcage alignment, and you’ve got a powerful recipe for true, full-body calm. Curious how it works? We’d love to show you.

Sleep doesn’t start the moment your head hits the pillow, it begins with how you wind down. Try this:

1. Gentle stretching or movement
2. Avoid screens 1 hour before bed
3. Diaphragmatic breathing for 5 minutes

Supporting your nervous system at night improves healing, mood, and immunity. A calming bedtime routine is your nervous system’s best friend!

Feeling wired but tired? Trouble focusing, tight muscles, irritability? These are all signs your nervous system might need support.

When your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight mode, it affects everything, from digestion and sleep to pain and mood. Osteopathy uses gentle hands-on techniques to signal safety to the body, encouraging a shift toward calm and rest. Let’s bring your body back to balance.
