Our Team Is Highly Experienced, Qualified and Dedicated to Your Health

In Australia, osteopaths are government-registered primary healthcare practitioners trained to assess, diagnose, treat, manage, and prevent musculoskeletal pain and injuries. Qualified with a five-year university double degree, they study anatomy, physiology, pathology, medical diagnosis, and comprehensive osteopathic theory and practice. This extensive training equips them to provide effective hands-on care and to recognise when symptoms require medical referral.

At Health and Balance Osteopathy, our osteopaths bring decades of clinical experience, offering a depth of knowledge and insight that only long-standing practice can provide. As an experienced and collaborative team, we pride ourselves on delivering thorough, patient-centred care tailored to your individual needs.

Our practitioners use a wide range of hands-on techniques to restore mobility, relieve discomfort, and improve overall physical function. To maintain their registration and keep their skills current, osteopaths also undertake at least 30 hours of continuing professional development each year.

We proudly support patients from Ivanhoe, Eaglemont, Heidelberg, Rosanna and the surrounding community.
