Renae sees patients of all ages, particularly children, adolescents and sports related injuries. “After suffering multiple sports related injuries as a teenager I believe in prevention, before the need for treatment of an injury is required.” Renae treats using mainly indirect techniques to maximize a person’s musculoskeletal biomechanics and achieve optimal health.

In her time away from work Renae is triathlon training or exercising with her black Labrador Nixon and Groodle Huey.

Josh graduated from Southern Cross University with a Bachelor of Clinical Science and a Masters of Osteopathic Medicine and has recently relocated to Newcastle after working on the NSW Mid North Coast.

His final thesis explored the efficacy of osteopathic management for paediatric conditions. Having studied various manual therapies and movement practices for the last 10 years, he has developed a deep appreciation of the body and its constant striving for health as an intelligent, dynamic and integrated system. He considers himself very fortunate to have found the osteopathic framework, one in which the physical, physiological and emotional aspects of health are all equally attended to. Josh utilises a blend of physical assessment, osteopathic techniques, rehabilitation strategies and education to assist people of all ages in achieving lasting outcomes.

Born and raised on the Sunshine Coast, Thom attended Victoria University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science (Clinical Science) and Masters of Health Science (Osteopathy) in 2018. His thesis reviewed the efficacy of injectable therapy for knee osteoarthritis- a developing and ground-breaking field for symptomatic pain relief.

Thomas is a structural osteopath who regularly relies on direct osteopathic techniques. Whilst he offers individualised management, he aims to provide symptomatic relief, improve range of motion restrictions and improve strength/stability. He places a high priority on manual therapy, and time working with a Victorian Football League club and the Ladies Pro Golf Association saw him develop a passion for physical and rehabilitative therapy for athletes and the general population.

Thom is a lover of all sports in particular rugby union and golf. After suffering from hip conditions, resulting in surgery- Thom developed a keen interest in treatment and management of weight bearing joints (foot, ankle, knee, hip, pelvis, spine). Thomas has a strong belief in osteopathic principles; that the body holds all the tools for self-healing, maintenance and regulation- and how osteopathy can assist you in stream lining these healing processes, so that you may restore health and return to your chosen activity as soon as possible.
