Holistic Bodyworks

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.

Bloated, crampy, or just feeling “off” in your gut? Digestive discomfort isn’t only about what you eat - it’s also about how your body moves and responds to stress. Ugh – but what can we do about it?

Osteopaths may use visceral manipulation, a gentle hands-on approach to ease tension around the organs and surrounding tissues. The goal is to support gut motility — no, not mobility (though we get why you’d think that 😉). Motility means the wave-like muscle contractions that move food and fluid along, a bit like your gut’s conveyor belt 🚚. These rhythms can slow if the muscles become tight, if nerves regulating digestion are under strain, or if stress disrupts the body’s natural balance.

Alongside this, breathing exercises to calm the nervous system and holistic advice on diet and stress may help support your gut’s rhythm. 🌿

Noticing regular digestive discomfort? Call 9570 3388 to make an appointment.

This Movember, Let’s Talk Men’s Health

It’s not just about growing a moustache - it’s about starting conversations men often avoid. Back pain shrugged off as “just age,” digestive discomfort put down to stress, or fatigue dismissed as nothing serious can sometimes mask bigger issues. So grow a mo’ this November and shine a light on men’s health, book those lifesaving health checks, and invest time into the healthy habits (exercise, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness) that underpin your continued health and wellbeing.

Need help getting moving again? Give us a call on 9570 3388.📞 Osteopaths look at the body as a whole, considering how movement, posture, circulation, and even stress responses interact. Supporting mobility and reducing strain so you can keep moving!

This Movember, don’t just grow the ’mo. Check in on your mates, and check in on your health.

Quote of the Day ✨

Say you’ve strained a muscle in your leg, and it just isn’t healing like you expected. Sometimes, we find that a slight pelvic misalignment is placing extra strain on your lower back and leg muscles, creating roadblocks to your body’s natural healing.

Our osteopaths work to help clear these roadblocks, supporting better alignment and easing muscle tension so your body can do what it does best: heal itself.

After all, we treat the WHOLE body, not just the area with symptoms. Give us a call on 9570 3388 to make an appointment with one of our osteopaths at Holistic Bodyworks. We’re here to help you move better, feel better, and get back to your life.

Your Spine: The Foundation of Your Body 🏗️🦴

Did you know your spine is made up of 33 vertebrae? These bones protect your spinal cord - the vital highway that transmits signals between your brain and the rest of your body.

When the spine isn’t aligned properly, it can influence how your whole-body functions, potentially affecting movement, posture, and even comfort.

Osteopathy aims to support spinal alignment and encourage better overall body function, helping you move more freely and feel more balanced.

📞 Call 9570 3388 to make an appointment with one of our osteopaths at Holistic Bodyworks because a strong foundation matters.

Lower Back Pain: You’re Not Alone 🪑💢

Chronic lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek healthcare. It can sneak up after hours at a desk, heavy lifting at the gym, or even repeatedly bending to pick up the kids or shopping bags.

Often, it involves overworked muscles like the erector spinae (which keep you upright) or the quadratus lumborum (which helps you bend and stabilise your spine). Imbalances, weakness, or restricted movement in these areas (or others) may place extra strain on the lower back.

So if your back needs a little TLC, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll start with a thorough assessment and aim to find the root cause of your discomfort and tailor a treatment plan to get you moving well again.

Give our friendly team at Holistic Bodyworks today on 9570 3388 and we’ll see you in the clinic real soon.
