Osteopathic Treatment
Our osteopathic treatments use hands-on techniques to address musculoskeletal imbalances, relieve pain, and improve mobility. By focusing on the bodys structural integrity, we help restore natural function and promote self-healing. Ideal for chronic pain, injuries, or postural issues, this holistic approach supports long-term wellness through tailored interventions.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets trigger points in muscles to alleviate tension, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery. Combined with osteopathic care, it effectively treats conditions like sciatica, tennis elbow, and sports injuries. This technique stimulates the bodys healing response, offering rapid relief for acute and chronic muscular discomfort.
Sports Injury Care
Specialised care for sports-related injuries focuses on restoring performance and preventing recurrence. Using biomechanical analysis and targeted therapies, we address strains, sprains, and overuse injuries. Our approach integrates rehabilitation exercises with manual treatments to accelerate healing and optimise athletic function.
Pregnancy Support
Gentle osteopathic techniques alleviate pregnancy-related discomforts such as back pain, pelvic instability, and swelling. We support maternal well-being by improving posture and reducing physical stress. Postnatal care also aids recovery, ensuring a smooth transition for new mothers.
Rehabilitation Programs
Custom rehabilitation plans combine manual therapy with exercise prescription to rebuild strength, flexibility, and mobility. Designed for post-injury or post-surgical recovery, these programs empower patients to regain independence and prevent future injuries through evidence-based, progressive care.

Absolutely top Osteopathy practice. Leanne on reception is the consummate friendly professional. Carissa and Tessa brilliant osteopaths. Not only do I go to the practice for my own treatments but refer many of my clients with complex musculoskeletal issues to them.

I'm amazed how quickly the pain in my back from arthritis was reliefed after the first few sessions with Tessa. I wish I discovered this kind of treatment much earlier and stubbornly used to think chiro was the only way to go for the last 20yrs. This is next level and my sleeping quality has improved dramatically.

I use to attend a clinic in Kensington and left due to poor staff and reception attitude. These lovely ladies have been there for me ever since. I would highly recommend either Tessa or Jess, both are knowledgable and friendly. Reception here actually cares and want to help. They are not about the money and will only recommend you for the amount of bookings you actually need at a very reasonable price. I genuinely feel better after attending. A+++++

I definitely recommend them. I have been following Courtney since she came to Adelaide, which is now 10 years, until she opened her own. She is amazing and has helped me get through some tough times over the years. My healer 🤗👌
