    Home Visit Osteopathy in Melbourne’s Inner West

    Can’t make it into the clinic right now? We’ll come to you.
    Ascot Vale Osteopathy offers professional home visit osteopathy so you can get high?quality care without leaving your lounge room.
    Whether you’re recovering from surgery, juggling kids, managing a flare?up of pain, or simply finding travel tough at the moment, we bring the treatment table, expertise, and support to your home.

    Who Our Home Visits Are For

    Home visits are ideal if you:
    • Are in too much pain or stiffness to comfortably travel
    • Are pregnant or post?partum and prefer to stay at home
    • Are an older adult who feels safer being treated at home
    • Are recovering from surgery or injury and have limited mobility
    • Care for someone who would struggle to attend the clinic
    If you’re unsure whether a home visit is right for you, give us a call and we’ll talk it through.

    What We Can Help With

    Our osteopaths can treat most of the same conditions at home as we do in the clinic, including:
    • Back and neck pain
    • Headaches and migraines
    • Arthritis and joint pain
    • Sports and work?related injuries
    • Pelvic, hip, knee, and ankle pain
    • Pregnancy?related pain and post?partum recovery
    • General stiffness, mobility issues, and age?related aches
    We’ll assess, treat, and give you tailored advice to help you move better and feel more confident between sessions.

    What to Expect During a Home Visit

    We keep it simple and stress?free:
    1. Before we arrive
      • We confirm your address, parking options, and any access details.
      • You’ll get a brief overview of what to expect and how to prepare (clear a small space, wear comfortable clothing, etc.).
    2. On arrival
      • Your osteopath brings a portable treatment table and any equipment needed.
      • We’ll have a quick chat about your symptoms, health history, and goals.
    3. Assessment & treatment
      • We assess how you move, what aggravates your pain, and any contributing factors.
      • Treatment may include gentle hands?on techniques such as massage, joint mobilisation, stretching, and muscle release.
      • We work within your comfort levels and explain everything as we go.
    4. Exercise & self?management plan
      • You’ll get simple, practical exercises you can safely do at home.
      • We’ll talk about pacing, posture, and lifestyle tweaks to support your recovery.
    5. Follow?up plan
      • Together, we’ll decide on the best follow?up schedule — whether that’s more home visits or transitioning into the clinic when you’re ready.
