What Does An Osteopath Do?
Osteopaths are university-qualified, AHPRA-registered healthcare practitioners with a minimum of five years of clinical training. We assess and treat musculoskeletal conditions using hands-on manual therapy techniques, including soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and spinal manipulation.
Osteopathic treatment addresses the muscles, joints, ligaments, and bones to relieve pain, restore movement, and improve how your body functions as a whole. Rather than masking symptoms, osteopathy targets the underlying cause of your pain to support lasting recovery. Treatment looks at how the sore area works with the rest of your body, and you leave with advice and exercises to use between visits.
At Nextgen Osteopathy, Dr Mark Pica treats a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, shoulder pain, hip and knee pain, sports injuries, postural issues, and workplace-related musculoskeletal complaints. We see patients of all ages, from children and desk workers through to active adults, trades workers, and seniors.
We offer both in-clinic appointments in Kilsyth South and mobile home visit osteopathy across Melbourne and Victoria, making it easy to access quality care wherever you are.

Three Stage Approach To Treatment
At Nextgen Osteopathy, care usually runs in three stages, adjusted to how you respond
Relief Care
Our first priority is to relieve your pain as quickly as possible. Once symptoms settle, we focus on restoring function and movement to the affected area.
Corrective Care
During this stage, we support the healing of muscles and other tissues without re-aggravating the condition. In addition, targeted exercises are introduced to help strengthen and stabilise your body.
Wellness Care
Finally, preventative care helps us identify any emerging problems early and address them before they become chronic issues. The aim is to pick up problems early and keep you moving between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does an osteopath treat?
Osteopaths treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, sciatic pain, hip and knee pain, sports injuries, and postural issues related to desk work. Treatment uses hands-on manual techniques to reduce pain and restore movement.
What is the difference between a mobile osteopath and a clinic visit?
A mobile osteopath comes directly to your home or workplace, bringing all equipment including a treatment table. There is no travel or waiting room involved. A clinic visit is at our Kilsyth South location. Both options provide the same standard of clinical osteopathic care – the difference is simply where the treatment takes place.
How much does an osteopath cost in Melbourne?
At the Kilsyth South clinic, a standard 30-minute consultation is $90 and an initial 45-minute consultation is $110. Home visits start at $125. Seniors prices are available to pensioners and anyone over age 65.
Do you bulk bill or accept private health insurance?
I don’t bulk bill. You can claim on the spot with most health funds, or use Medicare with a GP chronic condition management plan ($63.40 back per visit, up to 5 visits a year).
How do I book an appointment?
Book online, call 0466 999 215 or email NextgenOsteoAU@gmail.com. The clinic is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9am to 6pm. I am available on Tuesday and Thursday by appointment only.
Why I started Nextgen Osteopathy
I started Nextgen in 2024 because plenty of people who needed treatment couldn’t easily get to it: older patients who no longer drive, parents with no spare hour, tradies who can’t take an afternoon off. So I see people at the clinic when that suits them, and at home when it doesn’t.
