Dr Nick Brasher
Advanced Sports Osteopath
B.App.Sc.(Clin.Sc.)/B.Osteo.Sc
Nick is an experienced and highly qualified Osteopath. He is one of ten Advanced Sports Osteopaths in Australia and has many years of experience both in the clinic and in elite sport. He is currently the Osteopath for the Collingwood Football Club (2015-present) having previously served in the same role for the Western Bulldogs Football Club (2010-2014). Nick combines his osteopathic techniques with additional qualifications in dry needling and exercise rehabilitation as well as being a level 1 Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (ASCA) coach and ImPACT Concussion Group trained Physical Therapist.
Nick’s approach to treatment is thorough and holistic; he looks beyond a single symptom and focuses on how factors such as better quality of movement, load management, strength and mobility can impact on a patient’s ability to perform, providing a practical framework for the client moving forward. Nick has a special interest in treating hip and groin pain, low back pain and headaches.
Outside the clinic he enjoys swimming, running, travelling, reading and spending time with family and friends. He loves a good quality TV series, especially crime or history, and is currently hoping the Victorian winter will provide us with some snow to ski on over the coming months.
