Caulfield Osteopath
Seaview Health Group is a family-owned allied health clinic in Beaumaris, providing osteopathic care for people from Caulfield and across Melbourne’s south-east. Established in 2007, our clinic supports people of different ages and activity levels with musculoskeletal pain, injuries, movement concerns and rehabilitation.
For people living in Caulfield, staying active can mean anything from walking and exercising around the local area to community sport, gym training, work and keeping up with family life. If pain or an injury starts getting in the way, our osteopaths take the time to understand both what is bothering you and what you would like to get back to doing.
Rather than focusing only on the area that hurts, your osteopath can assess your movement and consider other factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. Treatment is tailored to the individual and may combine hands-on osteopathic techniques with exercise, education and practical rehabilitation strategies.
Having several allied health disciplines within the same Beaumaris clinic allows practitioners to work collaboratively when another form of assessment, treatment or rehabilitation may be useful.
Whether your goal is to feel more comfortable with everyday movement, return to work or sport, or manage an ongoing musculoskeletal concern, we can help you develop a practical plan based on your individual needs.

Osteopathy Services Near Caulfield
If you're searching for an osteopath near Caulfield, Seaview Health Group provides osteopathic and allied health care from our purpose-built clinic at 330 Balcombe Road, Beaumaris. Our approach considers your symptoms alongside your health history, movement, lifestyle and the activities that are important to you.
Alongside osteopathy, we also offer the following:
Depending on your needs, care may involve more than one discipline. For example, someone returning to running or local sport may benefit from exercise rehabilitation or podiatry input, while another person may need support with strength, mobility or day-to-day movement. Your practitioner can discuss whether another service is appropriate for you.
Between appointments, we also provide patients with exercises and other self-management tactics to help them stay active.
Our Team of Osteopaths
Our osteopaths take time to listen to your concerns, assess how you move and consider the muscles, joints and surrounding structures that may be relevant to your symptoms. From there, they can develop an individual treatment and management plan based on their findings and your goals.
Our team includes:
Osteopathic Treatment near Caulfield
Our clinic welcomes Caulfield residents with a range of musculoskeletal concerns, from aches associated with everyday activity or work through to sporting injuries and changes in strength or mobility.
Our approach is to listen, assess, treat, educate and rehabilitate. That may involve hands-on osteopathic treatment, advice and individually prescribed exercises, depending on your assessment. If your aim is to return to work, resume training, keep active around Caulfield or simply manage everyday activities more comfortably, rehabilitation can be shaped around that goal.
Headache & MigraIne
Headaches and migraines can have many different causes and contributing factors. In some people, neck pain, muscle tension or reduced movement in the neck may occur alongside certain types of headache. An osteopath can assess your musculoskeletal system and determine whether osteopathic management may have a role as part of your care.
SPORTS INJURY
Whether you participate in competitive sport, run recreationally, train at the gym or enjoy community-based activity around Caulfield, an injury can make it difficult to keep doing what you enjoy. Osteopathic management may include assessment, hands-on treatment, advice and exercise rehabilitation, with the aim of supporting a gradual and appropriate return to activity.
Back & NECK Pain
Back and neck pain are common and can be influenced by a range of factors. An osteopathic assessment may consider your symptoms, movement, work or training demands and other relevant areas of the body. Treatment and exercise advice can then be tailored to the findings of your assessment and your individual goals.
HIP AND KNEE
Hip and knee pain can have a number of possible causes, including joint, muscle, tendon or ligament problems, osteoarthritis and pain referred from another area. An assessment can help determine which structures and movements may be relevant to your symptoms.
Depending on your needs, your osteopath may use hands-on treatment, provide exercises to support strength and movement, or recommend assessment by another health professional where appropriate.
JOINT AND MUSCLE PAIN
At SHG, osteopathy can be combined where appropriate with services such as podiatry, myotherapy, remedial massage, Clinical Pilates and exercise physiology. Our team commonly sees people with a variety of muscle and joint concerns, including sprains, muscle injuries, tendinopathies, bursitis and arthritis.
Assessment looks beyond the painful area where relevant, considering movement and other regions that may be influencing how you load or use the affected part of the body.
NERVE PAIN AND SCIATICA
People often use the term “sciatica” to describe pain travelling through the buttock or down the back of the leg. These symptoms can have different causes and may sometimes be accompanied by pins and needles, numbness, burning sensations or weakness.
Because not all leg pain is caused by the sciatic nerve, an appropriate clinical assessment is important. Your osteopath can take a medical history, examine your movement and symptoms, and advise on suitable management or further medical assessment where required.
TENDONITIS AND PLANTAR FASCIA
Plantar heel pain and Achilles tendinopathy are two conditions that can affect walking, running and other weight-bearing activities. A range of factors may influence tendon and plantar fascia symptoms, including changes in training load, strength, footwear and how the foot and lower limb are functioning.
Your osteopath or podiatrist can assess the area and discuss appropriate management. Depending on the condition, this may include activity modification, exercise rehabilitation, footwear advice or other treatment options.
Pregnancy
Over the course of a pregnancy, a woman’s body must be able to adapt to both the structural & hormonal changes that occur to accommodate a growing baby.
BABIES & CHILDREN
Children can experience musculoskeletal concerns just as adults can, although assessment and management need to be appropriate for their age and stage of development. If you are considering osteopathic care for your child, one of our practitioners can discuss the concern with you, assess whether osteopathic care is appropriate and recommend other medical assessments where necessary.
WORKPLACE Ergonomics & WHIPLASH
Long periods at a desk, repeated tasks and workstation setup can sometimes contribute to neck, shoulder or back discomfort. This can be particularly relevant for people moving between office-based work, working from home and commuting throughout the week.
Rather than assuming posture alone is the problem, our practitioners can look at factors such as your movement, work demands, activity levels and workstation habits. Management may include hands-on treatment, movement strategies, strengthening exercises and practical ergonomic advice where appropriate.
Arthritis
Arthritis can affect joint comfort, movement and the ability to participate in everyday activities. Management varies according to the type of arthritis, the joints involved, your overall health and your individual goals.
For some people with osteoarthritis, maintaining appropriate physical activity, strength and mobility forms an important part of management. An osteopath may contribute through assessment, movement advice, exercise and hands-on treatment where appropriate, while working alongside your GP or other healthcare professionals when required.
If arthritis is making everyday activities or exercise more difficult, our osteopaths can assess your movement and discuss whether osteopathic care or another Seaview service may be suitable as part of your management plan.

Osteopath vs Physiotherapist vs Chiropractor
Many of our patients are not quite sure whether an osteopath, physiotherapist, or chiropractor is the most appropriate choice for their condition. While each profession has its own training and treatment approach, all three are qualified to assess and manage musculoskeletal conditions.
The approach you experience can also vary between individual practitioners. At Seaview, our osteopaths combine hands-on treatment with movement assessment, education and exercise advice, tailoring care to your symptoms, goals and clinical assessment.
Rest assured, if another health professional is better suited to your needs, we'll happily point you in the right direction.
