Meet the Team: osteopath Charlie! 🌿🧗‍♂️

We are so lucky to have Charlie as part of our Osteopathic team! Since he was young, Charlie has been fascinated by biology and how the human body works—a passion that led him to graduate from Victoria University in 2021.

Charlie understands that no two bodies are the same. He takes pride in being a "chameleon" in the treatment room—adapting his style to suit your specific needs, whether you require a firm structural approach or something more gentle. It’s all about finding the right fit for your body to get the best possible outcome.

When he’s not in the clinic: Charlie is a true adventurer! He loves exploring the world, whether he’s trekking through the bush on a beautiful hike, heading off on a camping trip, or travelling to new places with his friends and family. 🗺️⛺️

Next time you see Charlie in the clinic, be sure to ask him about his latest outdoor adventure!

Meet the Team: Bobbie French! 👋

If you see me around Timboon or Port Campbell, I’m usually the one chasing a "little foxy" dog, coaching at the pool, or cheering on the Demons! 🔴⚪️

I’m Bobbie, and I’ve been part of the clinical team in Colac since 2005. I live just west of Timboon on a busy 10-acre patch with my partner, two teenagers, 9 chooks, and a big garden that keeps me on my toes. 🌿🐓

What I love about my work: I truly enjoy the variety of people I meet and the unique health challenges we solve together. Over the years, I’ve developed a special interest in:

🌟Foot & Ankle health (sprains, tendinopathy, and osteoarthritis).

🌟Post-Breast Cancer Care (helping with changes like hardening, asymmetry and scar discomfort, and shoulder mobility).

🌟Spinal & Shoulder stability through targeted exercise.

Coming up in 2026: I’m particularly excited to be heading off in May for advanced training in Post-Concussion Syndrome. I’m looking forward to bringing those skills back to help locals recovering from falls or accidents.

Whether it’s on the footy field, at Nippers, or in the clinic—I look forward to seeing you around!

Bobbie is available Tuesday and Fridays.

Note: Bobbie focuses on manual therapy and does not use dry needling in her treatments.
