About Osteopathy
 
Osteopaths are allied health practitioners that are tertiary educated with a five-year university degree to provide manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation and lifestyle advice relating to a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
 
Osteopathic treatment takes a Biopsychosocial approach to health meaning your Osteopath is required to consider factors that have predisposed you to your complaint and those factors likely to re-aggravate it. In this way we seek to find the cause of problems rather than simply assisting them short term.
 
What can we help with?
 Osteopathic manual treatment, in conjunction with education, exercise and lifestyle advice given by your Osteopath may help with the management of the following conditions;
  • neck, jaw pain and headaches
  • short or long term upper and lower back pain i.e. disc injuries
  • shoulder, knee and elbow, wrist, knee and ankle complaints i.e. frozen shoulder, ankle sprains.
  • repetitive strain injuries such as tennis elbow, wrist complaints from mouse work
  • pain relating to arthritic conditions both inflammatory and degenerative
  • sport and exercise related injuries
 
How do we treat?
Osteopaths may make use of the following treatment techniques to address any given injury;
 
- soft tissue/massage techniques- these can be very light and gentle to assist fluid flow or deeper to address muscular concerns
- articulation- techniques that assist in improving joint range of motion and potentially decreasing stiffness
- manipulation- quick techniques that may involve an audible "clicking" sound that can also assist in improving joint stiffness in conjunction with other techniques.
-stretching- designed to assist in decreasing pain from tight muscles and joints and to potentially increase range.
- lifestyle, ergonomic and exercise advice

Born in Durban, South Africa, Alicia moved to Melbourne, Australia to pursue her studies in Osteopathic Medicine. She graduated from RMIT University, Bundoora with a Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy). Alicia enjoys treating a variety of acute and chronic injuries and ailments such as headaches, neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, work strain, sporting injuries and arthritis. Her osteopathic treatments involve a combination of both direct and indirect techniques, as well as taping muscles and joints for recovery and injury prevention. She believes that tailoring treatment and management plans to individual needs is imperative in achieving optimal results.

Lachlan has grown up in metropolitan Melbourne alongside the beach in Chelsea. He is an avid sports person and began his osteopathic journey through his own personal injuries and experiences. Osteopathy appealed to him due to its philosophies involving a holistic approach to injuries and pain. Lachlan believes this is important as every individual is different and requires a different approach to getting them back doing what they love.
​
Lachlan has an interest in sporting injuries, chronic pain and paediatric care. He has a structured approach to treating complaints such as shoulder, neck and low back pain. Currently, Lachlan is completing ultramarathons and therefore furthering his knowledge in running related injuries commonly affecting the foot, ankle, knee and hips.


If you are in pain or wanting to complete an event or activity, Lachlan would love to help you on your journey towards living a happier and healthier life.
