The team at the Inner West Health Clinic has a proven track record for providing outstanding professional service and care to the inner west of Melbourne for over ten years. We pride ourselves on treating patients individually through a range of hands on and hands off allied health services that is both accessible and affordable. Osteopathy services were an integral part of Seddon Therapies, and our client list has now grown to the point that we really needed more space for more Osteopaths and Allied Health Practitioners. So the time came to make a change, and we’re really EXCITED about the new direction we’re taking, INTEGRATING more Allied Health Services into our busy clinic. In addition to Osteopathy, we also have Dietitian’s, Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and now Speech Pathology.

Your body is built to move - quite literally. Joints rely on regular mechanical loading to circulate synovial fluid, nourish cartilage, and keep the surrounding muscles switching on when they should. When we stay still for too long, those tissues behave like chilly elastic bands: stiff, reluctant, and keen to complain 🧘‍♂️🔬

A few minutes of mindful movement each day helps restore these natural pressure-and-release cycles, improves proprioception (your brain’s map of your body), and gives your nervous system the gentle stimulation it needs to regulate tension. Small, frequent mobility breaks often outperform one big workout at the end of the week.
If you’d like exercises tailored to your joints, your lifestyle, and your specific niggles, our osteopaths are here to help guide you with a routine designed to support your long-term comfort and function.

If your posture has started to resemble a question mark, join the club - modern life is practically designed to bend us out of shape. Between long days at the desk, endless driving, and that tiny device we still call a phone (even though it’s really a camera/newspaper/calculator/communications tower in disguise), it’s no wonder our spines feel a bit betrayed 📱💺😅
Sitting, slouching and tech-necking slowly create imbalances that tighten your neck, round your shoulders, and make your mid-back grumble. But help is at hand. Our osteopaths assess how your muscles and joints are working together and use hands-on techniques to improve mobility and ease discomfort. And we’ll probably recommend a few small tweaks too — like lifting your screen, taking movement breaks, and occasionally resisting the siren song of your phone.

Call 9078 2455to make an appointment with the osteos at Inner West Health Clinic today. (Preferably without tech-necking while you do it!)

Joint and muscle stiffness can turn everyday movements into sneaky little challenges - even something as fundamental as getting out of bed can feel like a PAINFUL workout. 😅 Why does it happen? Long hours at your desk, slumped posture and repetitive tasks, and just the plain old wear and tear of daily life all add up.
Osteopaths look at how your muscles, joints, and connective tissues work together, helping support natural mobility and ease tension. Even small changes in how your body moves can make a big difference in comfort and how your day feels.
Whether it’s a stiff neck, tight calves, or a grumbling lower back, gentle osteopathic care may help your body move more freely.
If stiffness is slowing you down, call the osteopaths on 9078 2455 to book an assessment.

You might think you need to run a marathon 🏃‍➡️ or blast through a high-intensity workout for your movement to “count” - and brilliant if you enjoy that - but your body also thrives on the small, surprising stuff.
Mindfully sinking into a squat to pick something up, bear-walking your way up the stairs, or giving your feet a slow stretch before you even step out of bed all help keep your musculoskeletal system mobile and balanced. And if you want a little more, a gentle ten minute stretch session will do you a world of good!
If you’re feeling stiff or out of rhythm, the osteopaths at Inner West Health Clinic are here to help support your mobility and ease those daily niggles. Call us on 90782455 to book an appointment.

Fascia — your body’s hidden web — connects every muscle, organ, and bone. 🌐💪 That’s why osteopaths often look beyond the area of pain. Sometimes a stubborn shoulder ache might actually be caused by a tight hip — your body’s way of keeping life interesting! 😅 Even the quirkiest aches have a reason behind them. 🌿
Curious what your body’s fascia might be up to? Call the osteopaths on 90782455 to book an assessment.

On Rare Disease Day, we shine a light on the millions of people worldwide living with conditions that are often little-known, frequently misunderstood, and sometimes difficult to diagnose. 💜
More than 300 million people are affected by rare diseases, many of which have genetic origins or involve complex physiological pathways. Because symptoms can vary widely and may overlap with more common conditions, individuals often face long journeys to receive answers and appropriate care. Raising awareness helps support earlier recognition, deeper research, and stronger community understanding.
Osteopathy may offer gentle, supportive care to help manage comfort, maintain movement, and support quality of life, for individuals diagnosed with conditions, like Ehlers–Danlos syndrome or certain muscular dystrophies, which can create ongoing challenges with joint stability, muscle fatigue, and mobility.

At Inner West Health Clinic we acknowledge the resilience of those navigating rare conditions and the families, carers, researchers, and clinicians who walk alongside them - your courage matters.

📚 Let’s take a moment to appreciate a word that quietly carries a great deal of biological importance - lymphatic.
The term comes from the Latin ‘lympha’, meaning water or clear spring. 💧 This root also relates to ‘nymph’, the mythological spirits of water and nature - a poetic nod to the lymphatic system’s clear, fluid-based pathways that move like hidden streams through the body. The adjective ‘lymphaticus’ appeared in medical Latin around the 17th century, and by the eighteenth century physicians were using the “lymphatic system” to describe the network of vessels responsible for fluid balance, immune defence, and waste transport.

Osteopathic techniques work to encourage lymph flow, reduce tissue congestion, and support recovery - a reminder that this “watery” word has powerful clinical relevance.
Even the most clinical terms can have poetic origins! What’s your favourite whacky word fact? Let us know in the comments below. 👇

✨ A new chapter begins — and an old one comes full circle ✨
It's hard to believe that Richard opened the doors as part of Yarraville Seddon Therapies to offer Osteopathy on Charles Street, Seddon in 2003.
In February 2010, we moved into 87 Victoria Street — a place we have lovingly & proudly called home for almost 16 years.... with the last 10 as Inner West Health Clinic.
This weekend, we’ve closed one door and opened another…
returning to where it all started in Charles Street, just up the road a bit 😉 — but this time in a space we’ve built from the ground up.
From purchasing the property just two weeks before Christmas in December 2024, to opening the doors today, this journey has truly been one made of blood, sweat, tears — and a whole lot of heart & collective determination & collaboration.
It hasn't been easy, but it has been deeply meaningful.
To all our patients, past & present.
To all our IWHC team - both past & present
To all our family, friends, trades, Seddon neighbours, and Inner West community.

I want to thank you & express our sincerest gratitude — for your patience, encouragement, practical help & advice, kind words, and unwavering support. We genuinely could not have done this without you.

We’re so proud to welcome you into our new home and incredibly grateful to continue caring for this Inner West community we live in & love dearly.

Here’s to honouring where we’ve come from — and stepping with great excitement into what’s next 💛

📍 Now open at 97 Charles Street, Seddon

Word of the Day: Jaw 🦴
/ʤɔː/
From Middle English jawe (later jowe), the word comes from Old English ceowan, meaning “to chew.” 🍽️ Scientifically known as the mandible, the jaw forms the lower part of the skull and connects to the temporal bone at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
This small but powerful joint is remarkably versatile - opening up to around 50 mm when you yawn 😮, gliding forward to bite 🦷, and shifting side to side as you chew or speak. It’s an extraordinary range of motion for such a compact structure - but with so much movement, things can sometimes go awry. Enter Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), which causes pain, stiffness, or clicking when the joint isn’t moving as it should.

If you’re suffering, call Inner West Health Clinic on 9078 2455 to learn how osteopathy may help ease jaw tension and support smoother movement.

Our resident osteopath Wei Yng Chua has a specialty in TMJ dysfunction

How Osteopathy Supports Whole-Body Health 🌿
Your body’s systems don’t work in isolation - and neither does osteopathy. This holistic approach considers how your musculoskeletal, circulatory, and nervous systems all interact to keep you moving and feeling your best.
Through gentle manual techniques, osteopathic treatment aims to restore balance, ease restrictions, and support optimal communication between body systems. The results? The potential for improved mobility, reduced pain, and even enhanced organ function, as circulation and nerve flow improve throughout the body.
Think of it as tuning the whole orchestra - not just one instrument. When every part plays in harmony, the result is better overall health and vitality.

Have you noticed changes beyond pain relief after treatment? We’d love to hear your experience below! 💬
