No. You can book directly with Good Days Studio without a referral from your GP. Osteopaths are primary contact practitioners, meaning you can come straight to us. That said, if your GP has recommended osteopathy, we're happy to work alongside your existing healthcare team.

Yes. Most private health insurance policies with extras cover include osteopathy. The amount covered depends on your specific policy and provider. We recommend checking with your insurer before your first appointment. We use HICAPS so you can claim on the spot.

It depends on the nature and history of your condition. Some patients feel significant improvement after 2–3 sessions. Others with longer-standing or complex issues may benefit from an ongoing care plan. At your first appointment we'll give you a clear and honest assessment of what we recommend and why, we don't create unnecessary dependence on treatment.

Your first session is a full 60-minute initial consultation. We'll take a thorough history, ask about your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals, and assess your movement and function. We'll then provide hands-on osteopathic treatment and finish with a clear explanation of what's going on and a recommended plan. You'll leave with more clarity than you arrived with.

Treatment should not be painful. You may feel some mild discomfort during certain techniques — particularly if an area is inflamed or has been restricted for a long time — but we always work within your comfort level. Some patients feel mild soreness for 24–48 hours after their first session, similar to the feeling after a new exercise. This is normal and temporary.

Book online at gooddaysstudio.com.au or call 0468 084 400. If you'd like to talk through whether osteopathy is right for you before committing please give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have.

Holistic & healing focused

Osteopathy is a holistic person-centered healthcare

approach that focusses on the body's natural ability to

heal itself.

We use manual therapy techniques to address

musculoskeletal issues, improve mobility and enhance

overall health and well-being.

The central premise behind Osteo considers the body

as a whole with treatment aimed at restoring balance

and promoting optimal functioning.

Osteo offers numerous benefits:

Pain relief

Osteo treatment may be able to help reduce pain from

common conditions including neck pain, back pain and

other joint and sports related injuries.

Improved mobility

Techniques used can improve joint mobility and

flexibility making movement whether that be walking,

running or striking that yoga pose with ease and

comfort.

Prevention:

As primary healthcare professionals Osteo's can help

provide advice on preventing future health related

issues from arising. They are well placed to provide

long term health strategies to ensure you can function

at your absolute best.

A true holistic approach: many health professionals

claim to be holistic and Osteo's can be considered to

be the founders of such an approach to health. It is built

into their DNA to consider the interconnectedness of

body systems and an understanding of treating the root

cause of a condition, not just the presenting symptoms

that you may have.

Our skilled Osteopaths address a wide range of

conditions to help you feel your best. Some of the

conditions we treat include:

Sciatica: We target nerve pain that radiates from

the lower back down to the legs, providing relief

and improving mobility.

Osteoarthritis: Our treatments focus on

enhancing joint function and reducing discomfort

associated with degenerative joint disease.

Hip Pain: Whether it's due to injury or underlying

issues, we work on restoring movement and

relieving pain in the hip region.

Knee Pain: From sports injuries to chronic ailments,

our bespoke treatments aim to alleviate knee pain

and promote recovery.

Ankle Pain: We address ankle sprains, strains, and

injuries to help you get back on your feet.

Shoulder and Elbow Pain: Our approach helps in

managing pain from conditions like tendonitis, bursitis,

and general discomfort.

Neck and Back Pain: We specialise in relieving tension and

pain in these crucial areas to improve overall function.

Migraines: Our holistic strategies help reduce the frequency

and intensity of migraines, offering you a sense of relief.

Endometriosis: We offer supportive treatments that

aim to alleviate pain and enhance comfort for those

dealing with this condition.

Kids: We provide gentle osteopathic care tailored to children,

addressing issues like growing pains and postural concerns.

This is a common question and in all honesty there is

more in common between these professions

than people may think.

Each profession can treat similar types of problems and

musculoskeletal concerns however their approach to

assessment and treatment approaches and options

given may differ.

Yes we are a clinic that believes in equal opportunity to

healthcare access for all regardless of your

compensable status.
