Our osteopaths restore mobility and help people of all ages in Murrumbeena and across Melbourne stay active and get rid of all their aches and pains. As experienced osteopaths, we help you reverse the aging effects of stress and strain on your body from posture or injury, to create a NEW normal without pain, stiffness or discomfort.
✔ We don't treat pain using "tunnel vision" approach. Instead, we use a holistic "whole body" strategy that identifies the root cause and leaves you feeling even better than you did before.
✔ We simplify pain and its CAUSES, so you understand what's going on and how we'll treat it - and educate you to prevent it from happening again in the future.
✔ We use goal-setting techniques to create a personalised roadmap charting your progression. So you can see and talk about the direction your heading and when you can see the results that you expect.
✔ We don't do rushed appointments - our focus is positive treatment outcomes, not patient numbers or speed. All appointments are 40 minutes or longer, driven by your needs.
✔ We don't leave you on any new-age machines (with zero evidence of effectiveness), leave you with any assistants or treat multiple patients simultaneously. Instead we solely focus of you one-on-one, using you body's response as a guide. We explain everything and involve you in the decision making as we work towarsd your goals
✔ We only give you exercises specific to you and YOUR treatment goals, nothing excessive and not a genereic sheet of exercises.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can find our most frequently asked questions about what to expect, what to bring and how much an appointment will cost below. If you cannot find what you’re after feel free to contact us via the form on this page or Contact Us. We are here to help!
Can I get a healthcare rebate with Osteopathy?
Yes. Check with your Private Health Insurance to make sure you have osteopathy included in your extras cover. Then, bring your health fund card with youto your next appointment & we can make the claim for you on the spot.
Are there any other claims I can make?
Yes. If you don’t have Private Health insurance or it’s run out, and you’ve had a chronic musculoskeletal condition (longer than 6 months), you can ask your GP for an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Plan. This entitles you to 5 visits to an allied health professional where you receive a medicare rebate.​
What can I expect at my first appointment?
During your first appointment, you can expect that your practitioner will ask you a lot of questions to gain an understanding of your presenting injury or condition, plus to gauge your overall health and wellbeing.
Depending on your condition your practitioner will conduct a physical examination which may involve doing certain movements or tests. There will be an element of hands-on assessment, where they will palpate and examine areas of the body that are related to your condition
Depending on the service you are seeking your first appointment may involve treatment therapies including exercise therapy or hands-on manual therapy.
Each client can expect to leave their first appointment with a clear plan of what is involved to reach their health goals. This management plan is also emailed to each client. You may also have some ‘homework’ including exercises or lifestyle changes to implement prior to your next session.
What do I need to bring/wear?
If you have any scans, reports, or referrals from other health care practitioners please bring these to the session.
As there is an element of manual therapies to our sessions, you may be required you to expose areas of skin to get the best out of the treatment (for example if massage therapy is required). Otherwise, loose fitting clothing or active wear is best.
Do I need a referral?
You don’t need a referral to attend or book a session at Osteopathic Spine and Sport. You can gain a Medicare referral from your GP under the Chronic Disease Management plan which entitles you to a rebate on five allied health sessions per year, you can claim this rebate on-site at our clinics.
Can I use my Private Health Insurance cover?
Our service is offered under ‘extras’ in private health insurance policies. Each private health insurer offers different policies for different services, it is best to contact your insurer to find out what rebates you are entitled to.
