the Focus Osteopathy story
Focus Osteopathy began in 2009 with a shared vision between co-founders Simon Nawrocki and Lorrae Griffiths.
Today the practice operates from two Melbourne clinics, Mount Waverley and Murrumbeena, offering osteopathy alongside a range of complementary services.
Over the years, the team has added services that sit alongside osteopathic treatment: remedial massage therapy, exercise physiology and exercise rehabilitation, dry needling, cupping, and hypnobirthing.
We would like for every person who comes into contact with Focus Osteopathy to feel positive and inspired on their journey to make health a priority. We build healthy communities through movement, mindfulness, and nutrition.
Who We Work With
We see people at every stage of life, though two groups make up a large part of our practice.
Why Choose an Osteopath?
Your Whole Body Gets Assessed
Pain in one area is often driven by how another part of you is moving, so we look at the whole picture rather than only where it hurts.
Treatment Starts on Your First Visit
Your initial appointment covers assessment and hands on treatment together, so you leave with something done rather than a follow up booking.
A Drug Free, Non Invasive Approach
Treatment uses hands on techniques, movement and exercise, which suits people who would rather not rely on medication.
Time to Talk Things Through
Appointments are unhurried and one on one, which matters when the problem is complicated or has been going on for a while.
University Trained and Nationally Registered
Osteopaths complete a five year university qualification and are registered with the Osteopathy Board of Australia through AHPRA.
You Leave Knowing What to Do Next
Alongside treatment you get specific advice on movement, posture and exercise, so you are not waiting until the next appointment to make progress.
The People You'll Be Seeing
Focus Osteopathy is made up of osteopaths, massage therapists and exercise practitioners who share the same approach: take the time to understand what is going on, explain it clearly, and work out a plan that fits your life.
You will see the same practitioner each visit, and they will know your history without you having to repeat it. Everyone on the team is university trained and registered with their relevant national board.
Our Approach
Find Out if Osteopathy Is Right for You
Choosing an osteopath is an important decision. That’s why we offer a free, no-obligation discovery session, giving you the opportunity to meet our team, discuss your concerns, and ask any questions before deciding if we’re the right fit for you.
* Note: there is no treatment given at one of our free discovery session. It’s for you to ask us more questions and for us to confirm whether or not we think we can help you. Refer to the ‘Terms and Conditions‘ page for more detail.
