What Does An Osteopath Do?
Osteopaths are university-trained, AHPRA-registered health practitioners. I assess how your joints, muscles and nerves are working, then use hands-on treatment such as soft tissue work, joint mobilisation and, where suitable, manipulation, together with exercises and advice you can use at home.
Most people I see have back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, or shoulder, hip or knee pain. Many work at a desk or on the tools, or are getting back to sport. I see patients at the clinic in Kilsyth South and at home across Melbourne and parts of regional Victoria.

How care usually runs
At Nextgen Osteopathy, care usually runs in three stages, adjusted to how you respond.
Settle
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.
Build
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.
Maintain
Once you’re back to normal, some people like an occasional check-in to stay on top of things. Whether you come back is up to you, and I’ll tell you honestly if you don’t need to.

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 techniques and aims to ease 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, plus a travel fee if you live more than 20 minutes’ drive from Kilsyth South. Seniors prices apply if you’re 65 or over, or hold a Seniors Card, Pensioner Concession Card or DVA card.
Do you bulk bill or accept private health insurance?
I don’t bulk bill. At the clinic 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). I also see WorkCover and TAC patients.
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.
