Osteopathy
Osteopathy takes a whole-body approach to pain and movement problems. Rather than just treating the site of pain, I assess how your joints, muscles, nerves and posture interact — so if you're dealing with lower back pain from a desk job in Surry Hills, a stiff neck after a long commute, or a nagging shoulder injury, treatment addresses the underlying cause, not just the symptom.
Each session combines hands-on manual therapy — soft tissue release, joint mobilisation and stretching — with dry needling where appropriate, and a tailored home exercise plan. Most patients I see present with back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, hip and knee issues, or sports-related injuries. Treatment is evidence-based and adjusted to your specific injury, activity level and recovery goals.
Dry Needling
Dry needling uses a very fine acupuncture-style needle to release tight, overactive bands of muscle (trigger points) that contribute to pain and restricted movement. It's often used alongside manual osteopathic treatment for conditions like chronic neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain, and sports injuries. Many patients notice a local twitch response during treatment, followed by a release in muscle tightness and improved range of motion.
Rehabilitation
Recovery doesn't stop when you leave the clinic. I design tailored strength and mobility exercise programs based on your specific injury and goals — whether that's returning to running after a hip issue, building resilience after a back injury, or improving posture for desk-based work. Exercises are progressed over time and explained clearly, so you understand why each one matters for your recovery.
Mental Health First Aid
Physical pain and mental wellbeing are closely connected, and I'm trained to provide initial support for patients experiencing the early signs of a mental health issue or crisis. This isn't a replacement for professional mental health care, but a supportive first step — including referral to appropriate practical resources and services when needed.
