Total Health Osteopathy and Athletic Therapy

At Total Health, Alison treats a wide range of individuals from healthy individuals, younger athletes, and musicians, to office workers, seniors, and those with multiplex and complex health histories. Whether you are experiencing pain or discomfort, have suffered an injury, or are looking for holistic support for your health you'll benefit from one-on-one care centered on you and your needs and goals. Prepare to be surprised by the difference from other treatment modalities and practitioners you may have tried.

As both a manual osteopath and an athletic therapist, Alison treats both acute and chronic conditions holistically. Your treatment will include comprehensive and ongoing assessment of your condition, manual therapy that may include myofascial release, cranio-sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, joint manipulation, muscle energy and other techniques, as well as appropriate prescription of rehabilitative exercise. Alison's treatment approach recognizes that all aspects of the body work together to maintain optimum function and she incorporates this understanding into both her assessments and treatments.

Alison has been treating clients clinically in Victoria since 2015. As a specialist in orthopaedic injuries and conditions who has always prioritized providing high quality one-on-one care Alison has built a reputation of working with challenging cases, chronic pain, and clients with multiple or "mysterious" conditions. In her practice as an athletic therapist Alison prioritizes:

• Longer, appointments. Initial appointments are 90 minutes in duration and you'll notice how thorough they are immediately. This allows the time it takes to properly assess and treat your condition or conditions. Follow-up appointments are offered in 60, 75, or 90 minute durations based on your needs.
• One-on-one care. Your appointment time is reserved for you and no-one else. No running between clients at this clinic!
• Treating the individual. This longer one-on-one format allows Alison to really get to know you and your unique body, and to treat you holistically and comprehensively.
