Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is an AHPRA-recognised physical therapy focusing on joint, muscle, and bone health through massage, stretching, and exercise. Our osteopaths diagnose and treat conditions like back pain, disc injuries, and sports-related issues. By addressing root causes, we enhance the bodys natural recovery processes while avoiding invasive procedures.
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses ultrasound waves to stimulate healing in damaged muscles and joints. This non-invasive treatment improves circulation and accelerates recovery for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and ligament injuries. Sessions are integrated into tailored treatment plans for optimal results.
Functional Fitness
Functional fitness strengthens muscles for real-life movements, reducing injury risks and improving mobility. Our osteopaths prescribe custom programs combining strength and stretching exercises, included free in all sessions. These programs address posture issues and support long-term musculoskeletal health.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves fine needles to target muscle pain and improve circulation. When combined with electrostimulation (E-Stim), it enhances tissue repair and pain relief. This technique is particularly effective for chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural strain.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Personalised strength exercise programs rebuild muscle stability and prevent future injuries. Designed by osteopaths, these plans focus on posture correction, balance, and mobility. Delivered via an online platform, they include video guides and practitioner feedback for home or workplace use.

On and off I have had really bad lower back issues since my herniated disc about 3-4 years ago. Symptoms; very stiff lower back, barely bend at the waste, back spasms, couldn't sit down on a couch without my back playing up, etc. I have visited physios and chiros but nothing worked until i was recommened to visit an osteo. I found Doctor's of Osteo on Google booked my first appointment with Dr. Rachel Louka and am so glad i did.

She listened and understood the issue immediately. Dr Louka was very clear in what i had to do to fix my lower back issues on first appointment and provided treatment to help relieve and reduce current pain and stiffness. After just a few weeks of following Dr Louka's advice my back has not felt this good in years. The back stiffness is gone and i can bend at the waist without issues or restrictions.

I am forever grateful to Dr Rachel Louka for helping me resolve my back issues once and for all as anyone who has had to go through lower back pain knows it can be a nightmare. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending anyone who has back issues to go and see Dr Rachel, ASAP!

I've visited numerous osteos, chiros, and physios, but none have provided the pain relief and rehabilitation I needed until I found Dr. Rachel. She is truly the best in the businessexceptionally knowledgeable and able to deliver results. The clinic is immaculately clean and beautifully designed. If I could, I'd give 10 stars. I've already recommended Dr. Rachel to all my family and friends.
