Services

Osteopathy

Osteopathy focuses on diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal pain through hands-on techniques. Our practitioners address structural imbalances affecting mobility, posture, and overall function. Treatment combines joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, and exercise prescription to restore natural movement patterns while considering whole-body health connections.

Axit Massage

Axit technology measures strength, power, and movement imbalances using advanced force plates and motion analysis. This data-driven approach identifies muscular asymmetries and tracks rehabilitation progress. Customised interventions combine osteopathic treatment with targeted exercise programs to improve athletic performance and prevent injuries through objective measurement.

Dry Needling

Dry needling targets trigger points in muscles using fine filament needles to relieve tension and improve circulation. This evidence-based technique addresses chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural strain by stimulating neuromuscular responses. Combined with osteopathic care, it enhances recovery from conditions like tendonitis, headaches, and repetitive strain injuries.

Telehealth

Telehealth consultations provide remote access to osteopathic assessment and management. Through video conferencing, practitioners conduct thorough evaluations, prescribe exercises, and offer ergonomic advice. This service suits busy professionals, regional patients, or those requiring follow-up care while maintaining continuity of treatment plans.

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage employs deep tissue techniques to address specific musculoskeletal issues. Practitioners use myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and stretching to alleviate chronic pain, improve circulation, and enhance recovery. Tailored treatments target sports injuries, workplace strain, and pregnancy-related discomfort with optional hot stone or aromatherapy enhancements.

Questions

What conditions can osteopathy treat?

Osteopathy addresses back/neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, joint issues, and postural problems. Our practitioners also manage pregnancy-related discomfort, sciatica, and rehabilitation from workplace injuries using holistic manual therapy techniques.

Is telehealth as effective as in-person treatment?

Telehealth consultations effectively assess musculoskeletal issues through movement analysis and history-taking. While hands-on treatment requires in-clinic visits, virtual sessions maintain continuity of care through exercise prescription, ergonomic advice, and progress monitoring.

What makes Axit assessment technology unique?

Axit provides objective measurements of strength imbalances and movement patterns using force plates and motion analysis. This data informs targeted rehabilitation programs, tracking progress quantitatively to optimise outcomes for athletes and injury recovery patients.

Do you offer services for pregnant women?

Yes, we provide pregnancy-specific treatments including prenatal massage and gentle osteopathic techniques. These address postural strain, pelvic discomfort, and circulation issues while ensuring safety and comfort throughout all trimesters.

What payment options are available?

We accept credit card payments and offer HICAPS immediate health fund claims. Telehealth consultations require prepayment, while in-clinic services allow on-the-day payments with various convenient methods.

How do I book an appointment?

Book online through our website 24/7 or contact reception during business hours. New patients receive guidance on choosing appropriate practitioners and services during the booking process.

I would like to recommend Allied Osteopathy HealthCare and specifically Dr. Brad McCarthy. Words cant describe how much his treatment helped me with pain management and healing. Brad is attentive and listens carefully to everything. His care is comprehensive, and he always follows up on anything else such as lifestyle, body posture, or anything that might be an issue of concern. He is very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. The whole atmosphere in the practice is very welcoming and personable. I highly recommend Allied Osteopathy HealthCare.

I visited Dr Sophie-Lee Orler - Osteopath - for the first time in mid 2020, on a recommendation. I am extremely impressed. Dr Sophie is one of the better Osteopaths I have been to see. In past decades I have seen a variety of Chiropractors and Osteopaths; only one of them memorable until now, and it is so refreshing to have come across Dr Sophie.
Dr Sophie genuinely cares deeply about her patients and focuses on issues which need attention. She has taught me things I never knew, but should have, including an important treatment other Osteopaths missed.
Dr Sophie is personable, warm, friendly

Amity is amazing! I have suffered from persistent back, hip, shoulder and stomach pain for many, many years, which was due to over 30 years spent sitting at a computer desk for 8-10hrs a day. After a visit each week for month I have less pain and more movement than I can ever remember having. The exercises, and the app to track my progress is wonderful. A huge thank you to Amity

I was highly impressed with the professional level and service provided by the ALLIED OSTEOPATHY. I had osteopathy session with Amity , who gave immediate relief on my lower back pain ; I had follow up massage with Neide who has magical healing hands. Reception is very friendly and accommodating. Prices are fairly set with on-site private insurance rebates.

Amity has been treating my back and neck for the past few months and I couldn't recommend her more. I suffered from a disk injury in 2018 and get flare ups ever since. She is very thorough and takes immense care when treating. I can definitely feel the benefits after each treatment.
