With the ending of the Victorian lockdown on midnight 27/7/21, we are back to running as normal. You can attend for an acute, routine or maintenance visit.

With the snap 5-day Victorian lockdown announced, you can attend an appointment if you require urgent care. This is defined by the DHHS as treatment:

- to prevent a significant deterioration in functional independence which would result in an escalation of care needs (such as increased frequency in treatment, significant increase in pain, specialist input, or substantial increase in recovery time as a result of delayed care);
- for assessment and diagnostic purposes for those people where further delay likely to result in deterioration of functional independence or adverse outcomes;
- to provide services that are essential as part of a broader plan of care with a medical practitioner;
- to provide services that are part of a conservative management plan to avoid or delay elective surgery ;
- to provide services immediately following elective surgery that prevents secondary complications or aids functional recovery.

"Routine/regular monitoring" visits are not permitted during this lockdown. If you are unsure if you fit the description, please call or text me to have a chat.

Masks are still required indoors, we have some if you forget to bring one.

Supporting the health of your family

​Osteopathic care you can rely on

For BAbies

Birth is a process that exerts immense physical pressure on mother and baby, especially if the labour is very short or long, or there are medical interventions like induction, c-section, epidural or forceps.

​While we recommend that all newborns come in for a quick screen, often the babies that need treatment are those who are unable to settle, cry excessively, have feeding issues, trouble staying asleep or digestive issues like excessive wind, colic or reflux. ​

For Children

​Toddlers and older children are never still, so osteopaths often see them when they've had a fall or bumped their head. It can also be growing pains or injuries from sport/after school activities. 

But a child's health is more than that, we may also be able to help their immune system if they are prone to ear or chest infections, or look at their nervous system for behavioural/developmental issues. Osteopaths also treat children with cerebral palsy as part of team approach with other health professionals to improve quality of life.

For Mums & DaDs

We all lead such busy lives, it's easy to put up with that nagging back, headache or sore neck. Sometimes, they go away for a while but it's always there in the background. Other times, a small action like brushing your hair or bending down to pick up a toy sets off the worst pain imaginable.

Osteopathy may help with all of the above. We aim to restore the natural alignment of the body and improve its resilience to everyday stresses. Other conditions we see include jaw pain, migraines, disc bulges, sciatica, gym injuries, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, pelvic instability and more.

For OLDER ADULTS

Aging is a natural part of life. Our muscles lose strength and elasticity; our bones shrink and change shape, even our mental faculties may dull.

Osteopathy can help reduce arthritic joint stiffness, get frozen shoulders moving, hasten recovery from hip/knee replacements or other surgeries and allow people to feel "more like themselves".

Don't let pain stop you from lifting your grandchildren, playing sport or doing the gardening, you should be able to live your life doing the things you like!
