Ormond Osteopath
Since 2007, Seaview Health Group has proudly provided professional osteopathic care to residents of Ormond and other south-eastern suburbs in Melbourne.
Our family-owned allied health clinic is located just minutes away in Bayside. This means we are well placed to help patients overcome their pain, recover from injury and move with much greater confidence and freedom.
Our osteopaths firmly believe that successful treatment begins with understanding why your symptoms reared up in the first place. By conducting a thorough assessment, we identify the factors contributing to your discomfort. Then we develop a personalised treatment plan that combines hands-on care, advice on movement and practical rehabilitation strategies to make you feel better.
As part of our multidisciplinary clinic, our osteopaths work closely with podiatrists, exercise physiologists, myotherapists and clinical Pilates instructors. This team approach allows us to provide comprehensive care for a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions. They include sporting injuries, tendon complaints, neck and back pain, arthritis, sciatica and headaches.
If you enjoy exercising at EE Gunn Reserve, endure a daily commute along North Road, or just want to stay active with family and friends, our goal is to help you do this with less pain and greater freedom of movement.

If you're recovering from an injury, managing ongoing discomfort or wanting to improve your mobility, our expert team is here to help.
They commonly treat:
Headache & MigraIne
Muscle tension and joint restriction in the neck and shoulders are a major cause of headaches and migraines. With these restrictions and tightness in the head and scalp area, blood supply is reduced which can then cause pain.
SPORTS INJURY
Whether your interest in sport is professional or purely for pleasure, it can be incredibly frustrating if an injury stops you participating or impairs your performance.Osteopathic treatment not only accelerates the healing process and relieves the pain, it also identifies and resolves any problems in other parts of your body that have contributed to the original injury.
Back & NECK Pain
Back pain is one of the most common medical problems. Understanding the cause of your back pain is the key to proper treatment. This is where your local Osteopath can help. Patients are assessed from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint.
HIP AND KNEE
Knee and Hip pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints. There are numerous conditions that can cause hip or groin pain. The most common ones that patients present with are: bursitis, osteoarthritis, muscle or ligament injury, referred pain from the lower back or ankle.
Osteopaths will determine the cause of your knee or hip pain and most importantly help you correct the mechanical imbalances and other associated regions so that you can move around with confidence and comfort. If need be, your osteopath will provide you with an exercise program or refer you for further medical assessment if required.
JOINT AND MUSCLE PAIN
At SHG we offer the combination of Osteopathy, Podiatry, Myotherapy, Massage and exercise methods such as Pilates or Exercise Physiology, which may be effective for treatment of muscular and joint pain. Some of these include ligament sprains, suspected muscle tears, tendonitis, bursitis and arthritis. Our Osteopaths will address all of the structures that may be contributing factors in your joint or muscular pain.
NERVE PAIN AND SCIATICA
At SHG we often see patients presenting with what they describe as ‘Sciatica’. Usually the patient has pain in the buttock or back of the leg. Although ‘True Sciatica’ is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve by bulging discs or arthritic changes in the lower back. This may cause pins and needles, burning, numbness or weakness.
Whether it is ‘true sciatica’ caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve or simply strong referred pain in the back of the leg our Osteopaths can take a medical history from you and assess you in order to diagnose your condition properly. Once a diagnosis has been made and the cause of your pain has been identified we are then able to give you the best advice, management and treatment for your pain.
TENDONITIS AND PLANTAR FASCIA
Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis are common causes of foot pain that occurs more in women than men. Mechanical dysfunction in the foot can often be the cause. It is common in runners, people who are overweight, during pregnancy or in people that wear poor footwear.
Patients typically find their symptoms are often worst first thing in the morning as the fascia or tendon have been in a shortened position for a long period of time while sleeping. Your Osteopath or Podiatrist will provide a thorough examination to provide an accurate diagnosis of your pain.
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
Paediatric Osteopathy is based on the principle that many common ailments - whether minor or serious - result from an imbalance somewhere in the body caused by stress during pregnancy and the birthing process.
WORKPLACE Ergonomics & WHIPLASH
With most of us restricted to working from home, we have seen an increase incidence of chronic postural strain which often arises from repeated and prolonged activities that are usually associated with sitting at a computer all day or sedentary work.
When we sit for a prolonged period we get tired and we slump, causing us to curve our middle back and roll our shoulders forward. In order to look ahead or at our computer screen, our head and neck shifts forward. This is typically results in headaches and pain across the neck and shoulders.
Arthritis
The musculoskeletal system is greatly affected by the ageing process. Gradually over the years our muscles lose their tone & our bones lose their strength. The elasticity within the body deteriorates thereby increasing our risk of injury. Many people with wear and tear (or arthritis) in their joints, even those waiting for hip or knee replacements, are not aware of the relief osteopathic treatment can provide.
Osteo treatment for arthritis is popular for those suffering from chronic joint pain. This type of treatment involves using osteopathic techniques such as massage, stretching, and manipulation to help reduce inflammation and improve mobility in the affected joints.
If you are suffering from arthritis and are interested in finding an osteo treatment that works for you, talk to our osteopaths.

Osteopath vs Physiotherapist vs Chiropractor
For some patients, it can be confusing to choose from an osteopath, a physiotherapist, or a chiropractor. However, while each profession uses different treatment methods to make you feel better, all are qualified to assess and manage musculoskeletal conditions.
At Seaview Health Group, our osteopaths combine manual treatment with an assessment of your movement, education and the prescription of exercise. This can be very effective in improving your mobility, reducing pain and preventing future injuries.
That said, if we think another healthcare professional is better suited to address your condition, we'll happily refer you to them.

We believe that quality osteopathic services should provide you with comprehensive care at a price that represents good value for money.
That’s one reason why our appointments are intentionally longer than many standard consultations. They give your practitioner time to assess your condition thoroughly and then provide you with an effective treatment plan.
