About us
Hello! We are Britt and James, a Melbourne couple who have embarked on a 4WD adventure around Australia. We love everything outdoors and cannot wait to explore our home country in our beloved ‘Tinker’ truck. “All the gear and no idea” describes us well at the moment. We both have very little 4wd-ing experience, so we are putting a lot of trust in Tinker to get us from A to B.
As well as having a keen sense of adventure, we both are Osteopaths with a great passion for the human body and human movement. We have decided to combine these two loves and practice Osteopathy whilst on the road.
Nomadic Osteos will allow us to introduce Osteopathy to those living in rural and remote areas of Australia. We understand that many of us rely on our body for the daily tasks of life and our aim is to help alleviate any aches and pains that may be hindering us from living to our fullest potential. We are also very excited to meet and chat with people from all walks of life, and are grateful that Nomadic Osteos will allow us to do just that.
Along the way, we will be documenting our travels, mishaps, and all things osteopathy, which will be posted on our YouTube channel.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a manual therapy with a head to toe approach. This means we understand the relationship between structure and function of the body, while appreciating that the body has the ability to heal itself.
Having this knowledge allows us to identify the root cause of your pain and/or restriction, before creating a treatment plan that provides you with immediate and long term relief.
What you can expect from your treatment, is a client centred approach with a focus on the musculoskeletal system.
The techniques we use to achieve this are:
- Soft tissue massage
- Joint mobilisation and manipulation
- Muscle Energy Techniques
- Myofascial Dry Needling
- Exercise Rehabilitation
- Ergonomic Education
​
As Australian Osteopaths, we have completed a 5 year university degree, are AHPRA registered practitioners and have a Working With Children's Check.
Osteopathic treatment is included in most private health ‘extras’ policies.
