At Ascot Vale Osteopathy, we strive to be leaders in proactive, preventative Osteopathic health care to all members of the local community. We offer treatment and management for a variety of conditions: including back and neck pain, sports injuries, headache and migraine problems, arthritis, joint problems and pregnancy related pains.
Osteopaths are primary health care practitioners who recognise the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine which facilitates healing by focusing on how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a holistic unit.
Ascot Vale Osteopathy services the Moonee Valley and surrounding regions, including Ascot Vale, Moonee Ponds, Essendon, Flemington, Kensington, Footscray, Brunswick, Maribyrnong and North Melbourne. We are located 6km from the Melbourne CBD, and have public transport on our doorstep.
We are a highly motivated and passionate team, dedicated to offering up-to-date Osteopathic treatment, and forming personal, long lasting relationships with each patient.
“We are here to guide each patient towards achieving optimum health, by recognising individual goals, and educating each patient so they can actively manage their condition.”
