Meet Osteo Oscar ✨
Oscar’s interest in osteopathy developed early, shaped by his own experiences with injury while playing junior football. Like many young athletes, Oscar spent time on the sidelines managing a range of musculoskeletal issues, which sparked a curiosity about how the body heals and adapts under physical load.
These early experiences gave him a firsthand appreciation of the frustrations that can come with injury, as well as the importance of clear communication, reassurance, and tailored rehabilitation.
This perspective continues to influence his approach today, allowing him to relate closely to patients navigating pain, setbacks, or a return to sport.
Oscar brings extensive experience from the elite sporting environment, he currently works with both the Essendon AFL and AFLW teams, you may even see him running onto the field on game days! As well as having previously worked with both the West Coast Eagles and Brisbane Lions across their AFL and AFLW programs.
Through these roles, he has been involved in injury prevention strategies, acute injury management, rehabilitation planning, and collaboration with multidisciplinary medical and performance teams. Working in high-pressure, high-performance settings has refined his ability to assess movement, identify contributing factors to injury, and implement evidence-based treatment strategies that balance performance demands with long-term athlete health.
You can find Oscar at our Ascot Vale and Newport clinics!
