Osteopathic Treatment
Our osteopathic treatment uses hands-on techniques to address musculoskeletal issues and improve overall body function. We focus on biomechanics and cellular respiration principles to decompress joints and restore natural movement patterns. This drug-free, non-invasive approach treats conditions ranging from back pain to postural problems while promoting circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Remedial Massage Therapy
Specialised remedial massage therapy targets muscle tension and connective tissue restrictions to relieve pain and improve mobility. Our therapists combine anatomical knowledge with tailored techniques to address specific injuries and chronic conditions. This treatment enhances recovery from trauma while preventing future musculoskeletal issues through targeted soft tissue manipulation.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy applies subtle techniques to address imbalances in the cranial bones and nervous system. This gentle approach effectively treats birth trauma, headaches, and neurological conditions by restoring natural rhythmic movements. Our practitioners use precise palpation skills to detect and correct distortions in cranial mechanics and fluid dynamics.
Postural Correction
Postural correction addresses biomechanical imbalances that cause chronic pain and restricted movement. We assess individual posture patterns to develop targeted treatment plans that realign the musculoskeletal system. This improves weight distribution, reduces joint stress, and prevents long-term degenerative changes through manual therapy and movement education.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Sports injury rehabilitation combines osteopathic techniques with functional movement analysis to accelerate recovery. We treat acute injuries and chronic overuse conditions while addressing underlying biomechanical factors. Our approach restores optimal performance through integrated treatment plans that include manual therapy, exercise prescription, and activity modification strategies.

As a dancer, my body requires constant attention. Michael is the master. He has a true understanding of how the body works combined with the experience of over thirty years, treating elite sportspeople. I recommend him without hesitation.

I am a removalist and regularily lift weights at the gym. I live a very active lifestyle, and occassionally I overdo it. This is when I will book a session with Manu.
Manu is great as he diagnoses what is wrong, with movements, and loads of questions. He then explains what the problem is, and how he is going to address the problem, and proceeds to work his magic. I have been to a few osteotherapists, and I have found that most of them don't diagnose the problems as thoroughly as Manu. He is very good at helping you understand the problem and the solution, which helps me get my head around it

Dr Manu Wakely is a biomechanical genius. He was precisely able to diagnose the root cause of the issues and addressed them with rehabilitative exercise. What I loved most and what is lacking form a lot of practitioners is the way he conducted provocative testing to find my triggers. I've been to 6 other people and what finally saw the most improvement was seeing Dr Wakely. I flew from Melbourne to see this man and the trip was absolutely worth it. I'm pain free now and on the road to recovery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
