Holistic Bodyworks

We help restore your body from injury and reignite your desire for a healthy life.

Holistic Bodyworks is an established osteopathic clinic that combines the use of osteopathy and clinical pilates for the treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries. We commonly assist in the treatment of:
- back/neck pain
- headaches
- sports injuries
- arthritis/joint pain
- muscular strains and ligament sprains
- postural problems and RSI
- pregnancy related musculoskeletal pain

Manual techniques are used to encourage the body to heal itself. These include massage, stretching, joint articulation, manipulation and muscle energy technique. The treatment plan extends beyond the clinic and involves diet, work and lifestyle advise, stretches and strengthening exercises for rehabilitation and prevention of further injury. We encourage you to take responsibility for your own long term health and well being by identifying lifestyle and environmental factors that may be contributing to your particular condition.

May your holidays be filled with joy, laughter, and good health. Here’s to stepping into the new year with energy, optimism, and a little extra spring in your step!

Stride through December with purpose - and give yourself the gift of movement! Walking boosts brainpower, balances blood sugar, bolsters bones, and brightens your mood. It’s rhythmic, restorative and ridiculously good for you.
And that old “10,000 steps” rule? A furphy! Research shows even 4,000–7,000 steps can make a real difference - especially if you pick up the pace now and then.
So wander while the kettle boils, stroll while you scroll, or turn catch-ups into walk and talks. Explore Christmas lights, take the scenic route, or perambulate post prandially (that’s a walk after a meal).
Make movement your merry mantra this month - your mind, muscles, and mood will thank you!
How will you fit more walking into your December days? Tell us below! 👣

Trust the Body’s Blueprint 🌿

Your body’s not just a collection of parts - it’s a living, learning network that’s constantly adapting. Every movement, every breath, every heartbeat feeds back into that brilliant internal blueprint, guiding how you heal and function.
Osteopathy taps into that adaptability. By improving movement and easing mechanical strain, it helps the body rewrite unhelpful patterns - whether that’s muscle tension from long hours at a desk or compensations after an old injury.
It’s not about quick fixes, but clever rewiring - helping your body remember how to move, balance, and thrive the way it was designed to.
To explore how osteopathy might support your body’s natural blueprint for health, call Holistic Bodyworks on 9570 3388. 🌿

Weekend warrior gone wobbly? Sport gives us grit, glory… and the occasional groan - from tight calves after triumph to shoulders that protest every swing. Our osteopaths work to help you find the balance again, loosening what’s locked, soothing what’s sore, and steadying what’s been stretched too far.
It’s about restoring rhythm as much as recovery - with gentle hands-on care, smart rehab, and movement made marvellous again.
Because the best comeback isn’t just quick - it’s strong, steady and smiling.
Call Holistic Bodyworks on 9570 3388 to get game-ready again. ⚽️

🤯 Your headache might feel like it’s “all in your head,” but the science tells a more intricate story. Many headaches originate from biomechanical and neurovascular dysfunctions in the cervical spine and upper thoracic region. Tight muscles, restricted joints, and altered postural mechanics can compress cervical nerves, distort vertebral alignment, and impede blood flow - all of which increase nociceptive input to the trigeminocervical complex, the brainstem hub that integrates sensory signals from the neck and head. Over time, this sensitises the central nervous system, turning minor tension into full-blown headaches.
Osteopathy works to address these underlying mechanisms to recalibrate pain signalling and support your body’s innate self- regulation. In essence, it’s about rewiring tension, rebalancing flow, and resetting your headache circuitry.
Call Holistic Bodyworks on 9570 3388 to explore how osteopathy may help modulate your headache pathways. 🌿

Word of the Day: Jaw 🦴 /ʤɔː/

From Middle English jawe (later jowe), the word comes from Old English ceowan, meaning “to chew.” 🍽️ Scientifically known as the mandible, the jaw forms the lower part of the skull and connects to the temporal bone at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
This small but powerful joint is remarkably versatile - opening up to around 50 mm when you yawn 😮, gliding forward to bite 🦷, and shifting side to side as you chew or speak. It’s an extraordinary range of motion for such a compact structure - but with so much movement, things can sometimes go awry. Enter Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), which causes pain, stiffness, or clicking when the joint isn’t moving as it should.
If you’re suffering, call Holistic Bodyworks on 9570 3388 to learn how osteopathy may help ease jaw tension and support smoother movement. 📞

How Osteopathy Supports Whole-Body Health 🌿

Your body’s systems don’t work in isolation - and neither does osteopathy. This holistic approach considers how your musculoskeletal, circulatory, and nervous systems all interact to keep you moving and feeling your best.
Through gentle manual techniques, osteopathic treatment aims to restore balance, ease restrictions, and support optimal communication between body systems. The results? The potential for improved mobility, reduced pain, and even enhanced organ function, as circulation and nerve flow improve throughout the body.
Think of it as tuning the whole orchestra - not just one instrument. When every part plays in harmony, the result is better overall health and vitality.
Have you noticed changes beyond pain relief after treatment? We’d love to hear your experience below! 💬

Today we celebrate strength, resilience, and inclusion - recognising the power of movement and the importance of accessibility for all.
Small changes can make a big difference, helping everyone participate fully and move through life with confidence and dignity. 💛
Let’s keep building a world that moves with everyone, not just around them.

Word of the Day: Idiopathic Scoliosis

“Idiopathic” comes from the Greek idios (one’s own) and pathos (suffering), meaning a condition that arises without a known cause. “Scoliosis” stems from the Greek skolios, meaning “curved” or “twisted.” 🌀

Put together, idiopathic scoliosis describes a spinal curve with no identifiable underlying cause - and it accounts for about 80% of scoliosis cases, most often appearing in adolescence.

While the cause remains unclear, your treatment options are not limited. Our osteopaths are here to help with assessment, symptom management, and supportive care aimed at maintaining mobility and comfort.

Curious about scoliosis? Share your questions in the comments, or call 9570 3388 to make an appointment with the osteopaths at Holistic Bodyworks.

The Forgotten Power of the Ankles

👣 Strong ankles = stable body. Let’s stop ignoring the foundation.

Your ankles aren’t just for standing - they’re your body’s shock absorbers, helping you walk, run, jump, and stay balanced. Weakness or poor mobility can change how you move, increase load on knees and hips, and make sprains or falls more likely. This matters for athletes pushing limits and older adults wanting to stay steady on their feet.

So, what can we do to help? Our osteopaths will assess ankle mechanics, release tight tissues, and provide exercises to improve mobility and reduce injury risk. 🏃

So if you’re struggling with ankle instability or recurring sprains, let’s chat! Get in touch and we’ll book you in for an appointment with our team today.
