Peak Osteo is in the heart of Hawthorn. We have a long history in the Boroondara area with staff living and having worked in surrounding suburbs such as Camberwell, Canterbury, Kew, Malvern, Richmond and Glen Iris. Our clinic is place where patients feel comfortable bringing themselves, their families and friends, where they feel listened to and where they are in highly qualified, capable hands.
We are thrilled to be part of your road to better you and look forward to guiding you along the way to the peak of your personal health.
What do we do?
Osteopaths are primarily manual therapists and enlist a range of hands-on techniques that may include soft tissue massage, joint manipulation and mobilisation, muscle energy technique, dry needling and myofascial release as well as exercise prescription, rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, ergonomic advice or other management strategies.
Every Osteopathic consultation will involve a comprehensive history of your condition, physical examination and diagnosis.
This assessment may also include any relevant neurological or orthopaedic testing to allow us to arrive at a personalised diagnosis.
