Welcome Issac Read, Student Intern

Isaac starts his placement with us next week

I am a final-year osteopathy student at RMIT, currently completing my final clinical placement. Originally from Albury, NSW, I grew up playing a wide range of sports, with soccer being my greatest passion. My experiences as an athlete often took me to various health professionals, where I discovered osteopathy. I was drawn not only to the way practitioners helped me recover from injuries but also to their friendly and supportive approach, which is something I now strive to bring anywhere I go.

I enjoy treating a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions whether they’re acute or chronic and have a soft spot for sports related injuries and rehabilitation. My approach to treatment includes not only direct and indirect osteopathic techniques but getting to know each patient individually and work alongside them, which I believe is key to achieve the best outcomes.

Outside of my studies if I am not playing soccer or spending time with friends, I’ll be visiting my family in Albury where I have fully embraced the role as the fun uncle.

We love to support learning. If you would like the chance to receive a treatment with Isaac, student consults available Wednesday mornings, please book in online, call or email or chat to our friendly team.

Our osteopath Liam took a little getaway to the Blue Mountains for a much-needed reset. The weather was perfect, a gentle reminder of what summer truly feels like.

Fun fact: the iconic blue haze that gives the Blue Mountains their name is caused by the evaporation of eucalyptus oil.

And if you’ve ever wondered why koalas are not often spotted there — it’s because koalas are picky and only eat from three of the hundreds of eucalyptus varieties, none of which grow in the Blue Mountains anymore.

Struggling with low back, hip, or knee pain? It may all come down to your glutes!

Did you know that weak hip abductor muscles—specifically the gluteus medius and minimus—can cause your pelvis to drop, making your back, hip or knee hurt more than they should? When these muscles aren’t strong enough to do their job, your body tries to compensate, which can lead to pain in places they weren’t designed for.

At Your Body Osteopathy, we use manual therapy to relieve pain and help you feel stable and confident enough to start glute-strengthening exercises at home. Whether you're working from home or carrying life around with you — getting those glutes firing again can be a game-changer.

Book in today at yourbodyosteopathy.com.au or phone 03 9431 6604 and let’s get you moving and feeling better

Ever wondered what dry needling actually is? It's a simple, effective way to release tight muscles and ease pain—using ultra-fine needles at specific “knots” in the muscle.

Perfect for:
• Posture problems
• Chronic aches
• Sports injuries
• Jaw or headache pain

A little twitch, a moment of release, and relief follows. Mild soreness? Maybe—but it usually fades in a day or two.

Dry needling isn’t the entire treatment—it’s part of a whole-body plan that includes hands-on therapy and custom exercises to keep you moving well.

What Do Your Low Back, Hip & Knee Pain Have in Common?
Hint: It’s All About the Glutes!

Let’s w**d out the mystery behind your nagging low-back, hip, or knee pain—because, chances are, it might actually be coming from your glutes. Here’s the lowdown: the gluteal muscles—specifically the medius and minimus—play a vital role in stabilising your pelvis while walking or running. When they’re weak, your pelvis can drop, placing extra strain on your lower back. Over time, this can lead to pain in the back, hip and even the knee.

Lower Back Pain
Your back muscles try to compensate for weak glutes, even though they weren’t meant for that job—leading to fatigue and discomfort.

Hip Pain
Continuous strain on glute tendons from weak abductors can cause painful side-of-hip symptoms.

Knee Pain
Weak hip abductors may cause your hip to rotate inwards. This shift can put undue stress on the knee, contributing to patellofemoral pain syndrome.

So, how can an osteo help?
Osteopathic manual therapy can alleviate pain and give you the confidence and foundation to begin glute-strengthening exercises—especially crucial if you're avoiding movement due to discomfort.
