Recently I had to find a new Osteopath. It's never an easy task, but I had to say when I found this…read moreplace it sounded like a sure winner and I was right. Great modern clinic with super friendly staff who are well qualified and use the latest techniques (so they tell me). I've been seeing Kate and she has been incredible. My body has never felt better. Pricing is actually very competitive especially given the amount of other Osteopaths on the shore. They have a great appointment setting system on their website that once confirmed sends you an email to confirm the appointment time and allows you to add it to your calendar with one click. Awesome place and I'll be back!

I can't actually remember how I first ended up coming here but it was a good move. I've only ever…read moreseen Janice Woolsey who is an osteopath, but I know there are several other holistic health practitioners that work from here. Janice has done amazing things with my back and most of the cost of her sessions are covered by my health insurance. She can work out any stiffness of the muscle fascia and really knows her stuff; so much so that when my back problem was more serious, she was the one that picked it up. My GP was not convinced that the problem was serious, but on Janice's advice I pushed for the referral and the orthopaedic surgeon MRI-ed me and she was right - I needed surgery. I will be endlessly grateful for her help in getting my problem sorted and would highly recommend her to anyone as an intuitive yet practical therapist who looks at the WHOLE picture and really takes her time to give her clients the best service possible. She cares so much that she even followed up with me by phone and email to see where things were at. She's just lovely.

The osteopath I had was really helpful and before he did anything he asked me all about my medical history, diet, exercise and lifestyle. He then examined my back before he did anything also. I felt really safe and like he know what he was doing. Before he manipulated any of my muscles or back he'd let me know what he was going to do and why. He recommended that I start doing Yoga to build up my muscles and also relax after a hard days work. It was really good that he gave me his honest opinion rather than demanding I come back every week for the next year like some other places.

Since my husband experiences pain in his neck and back on a regular basis, I recently had a chat to…read moreregistered osteopath, Dr Ilya Chameris, who works out of his West Harbour clinic, about how osteo could make a difference. He explained the main difference with osteopaths is the holistic approach they take in treating the whole body and not just the symptom. That sounded like a good thing to me. Secondly, the factor that determines good results is the experience and skills of the practitioner. Ilya is also a qualified medical doctor (MD) with specialised qualifications in muscular skeletal medicine. Ilya said it's not just adults but kids and babies too can all benefit from osteopathy to treat a wide range of ailments from back and back pain to joint or muscle pain, jaw pain to headaches.
