Our team specialises in the assessment and treatment of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction, targeting the muscular and joint factors that often cause pain and restricted movement. Through hands-on therapy, tailored exercises, and postural retraining, we can help restore normal jaw function, relieve tension, and prevent future flare-ups.

When we think of medicine, we generally picture doctors, prescriptions and pills. But one of the most powerful treatments for chronic health conditions isn’t found in a pharmacy, it’s found in movement. Exercise, when used the right way, is proven to help manage and even prevent many chronic health conditions.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While medication and dietary changes are crucial components of diabetes management, exercise plays a pivotal role in controlling blood sugar levels, improving insulin sensitivity and supporting long-term health management.

Chronic pain, also known as persistent pain, is a complex and often misunderstood condition. Unlike acute pain, which typically results from an injury and resolves as the body heals, chronic pain lingers for months or even years, often with no clear cause. One of the challenges with chronic pain is that it doesn't always have a clear or identifiable cause. Our experienced Osteopaths, Podiatrists and Exercise Physiologist may help relieve and manage your pain with treatment, advice and exercise prescription.

Whether you’re returning to exercise after an injury or health diagnosis or just getting back into exercise after a long period of inactivity, our Accredited Exercise Physiologist is here to help!

Whether you’ve taken a break from exercise due to the holiday season, a busy work schedule or just life getting in the way lately; getting back into an exercise routine can be challenging. Motivation isn’t the key to sustaining an active lifestyle, instead we need to focus building daily habits which help to keep us on track.

We often see an increase in children attending the

It’s estimated that osteoporosis affects over 1 million Australians and is most common in post-menopausal women, with 1 in 4 women aged over 75 being diagnosed. After menopause, lower levels of oestrogen result in increased bone resorption as opposed to bone formation, placing women at a higher risk. Osteoporosis is often referred to as the ‘silent disease’ as it usually has no symptoms until a fracture occurs.

Recreational running is by far the most popular form of physical activity. The statistics are evident, over 3 million Australians participate in some form of running, making it the most popular sport in our country. The population of runners ranges from people just trying to stay fit, recreational runners seeking a personal best at a community event and our Olympic and professional athletes.

Have you ever thought about what sitting down (in a car, train, or aeroplane) for a prolonged period of time does to your body? Whether you’re planning your next road trip, or booking an overseas or interstate holiday, this is something to think about!

Whether you are an elite athlete or a champion Netflix watcher, everyone should take at least a couple of minutes every day to think about how they could be looking after their own bodies.

In an effort to achieve elite sporting status, children and adolescents are focusing on one sport earlier in their careers, often to the detriment of their bodies.  Early specialisation of sport is a topic of conversation gaining a lot of traction across the country. ‘Specialisation’ occurs when an athlete focuses on only one sport, at the exclusion of any other. A few weeks ago, I attended the Adolescent Athletes Symposium held by Sports Medicine Australia in Geelong. Geraldine Naughton a professor in Paediatric Science highlighted the increase in early specialisation and presented some of the most recent research in this area.
