What is Osteopathy

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. It involves manual techniques to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of health issues.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a therapeutic practice where the Massage therapist will apply pressure and release techniques to deactivate a specific point in the muscle fibres. Once this pressure is applied, it will defer pain into another area of the body, allowing the root cause of the issue to be released, ensuring the complaint is resolved. Trigger Point Therapy is an extremely safe and effective treatment that can treat conditions like headaches, shoulder injuries, muscle strains, joint sprains, tight muscles, neck pain, and general muscle pain.

Dry Needling

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a treatment approach that uses fine needles inserted into muscles to deactivate trigger points. These trigger points are a common site for pain and dysfunction in the body, and by 'turning off' these referred pain pathways, we can help reduce pain and return normal function to the body. Myofascial dry needling can be used to treat many acute and chronic conditions and is commonly used in conjunction with other therapeutic massage techniques. The technique has proven popular amongst athletes as it typically produces excellent results in a shorter time. And although sometimes an uncomfortable treatment, myofascial dry needling has produced outstanding results when other remedial massage techniques have been unsuccessful.

Ligamentous Release

Ligamentous Release

Ligamentous release works on the ligaments or connective tissue sheets (fascia) that surround a tight joint. It aims to rebalance tight or loose ligaments to return a joint to its normal physiological position. It involves compressing or decompressing tight tissues until a balance is found allowing a release into normal functional position.

Counterstrain

Counterstrain

Counterstrain is an indirect technique which involves placing the spasmed muscle or dysfunctional joint in a position of maximum comfort, holding this position till the tissues relax and then gradually re-positioning the body to a normal neutral position.

Manipulation

Musculoskeletal Therapy

Manipulation is used to relieve movement restrictions by applying a quick, therapeutic force of rapid duration that travels a short distance within the range of motion of a joint. HVLA therapy aims to restore a more "normal" range of motion within a joint and alleviate pain.

About Me

I am a South African expat who immigrated to Australia in 2006 to pursue a career in competitive sports. I have been a sports enthusiast, dipping my toes into combat, endurance events, cricket, rugby and numerous board sports. You will likely find me training in the gym, CrossFit, surfing or cycling these days.
I walked away from the corporate scene and chose to follow my heart. To fulfil my dream of helping people. This passion drove me to become an Osteopath and a massage therapist, where I can combine my love for sports with the serving of others. My skillset will enhance my ability to assist people by helping them on their recovery journey.
My unique situation allows me to treat people from all walks of life and sporting levels. I’ve played and trained in sports at the highest level, so I fully understand athletes, their bodies, and their mindsets. I apply the knowledge I receive at university to every treatment and look at every person as an individual. I firmly believe that the body is connected and that joints and segments of the body affect each other. This leads me to investigate the cause of your discomfort, look for the best treatment to improve your athletic performance, or return you to your daily activities.
