Megan Dowse Massage Therapy
Richmond Osteo Clinic is located on Burnley Street, has been operating in Richmond for almost 20 years. Our established practice has treated over 18000 patients with their lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and migraines, sports injuries and management. Shoulder and neck pain is common as many of us work in office roles crouched over a computer for many hours a day.

With a reputation for treating "spinal" problems, Osteopaths are often over-looked when sports injuries occur. Osteopathy is an effective drug-free way of helping to reduce the incidence and severity of both headaches and migraines. Our Osteopaths can assist your muscles and joints to cope as the baby grows, making every-day life that little bit easier.
Services
All of the Osteopath's at the Richmond Osteopathic Clinic graduated from Victoria University in Melbourne, undertaking a five year double degree (Bachelor of Science and a Master of Health Science - majoring in Osteoapthy).

This extensive training has resulted in a thorough knowledge base, with emphasis placed upon anatomy, physiology, bio-chemistry and biomechanics; along with the mechanism of injuries sustained to the musculo-skeletal system, and the appropriate treatment and management of these injuries.All our osteopaths are registered with APHRA and are members of the Australian Osteopathic Association.
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy, focusing on the treatment of pain and dysfunction of the musculo-skeletal system. We employ a "hands-on", holistic approach to treatment, identifying the cause of your pain and treating accordingly. We do not under estimate the body's ability to heal itself, but are aware that it sometimes needs a helping hand.
The Richmond Osteopathic Clinic has been operating in Richmond for over 10 years. Conveniently located at 297 Burnley Street, there is plenty of parking nearby and easy access via tram (Bridge Rd and Swan St) or train (Burnley Station). With five registered osteopaths, the clinic has a patient base of more than 15,000, having a proven record as a leading Osteopathic Clinic in Melbourne.
It's a common complaint usually arising from the joints, discs and muscles in the neck and upper back. The causes are many, but typically include an awkward sleep or sudden movement resulting in a "cricked" neck, chronic poor posture (ie at your desk!), whiplash of some kind or even a poor pillow. Often "put up with", neck and shoulder pain can be alleviated, making day to day living a lot more comfortable.
Brent graduated from Victoria University specialising in the diagnosis, management and treatment of neck and back pain, sports and work related injuries. He uses a wide variety of techniques including spinal joint manipulation and mobilisation, deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy, with an emphasis on treating the cause of the pain, not just the symptoms.

Best Osteo EVER! Felt like my neck, back & head is back in place, Michael is the best! As I've done hairdressing for 12 years, I felt like he knew where the problems were and focused on my problem areas straight away. I'll be seeing him often 20 out of 10⭐

Great service and convenient booking. I usually see Michael Singh - I'm stooped over when I visit and leaping the fence on my way out. He applies strength when needed which works well for me.

Daniel Surkitt is the consummate professional and I have experienced great confidence in him as he practises his craft of osteopathy. He has treated me now over approximately 4 years (and only for around 3 visits when I get into a bit of trouble!), and always with a plan and never with the notion of over treating in an attempt to maintain the control without some positive results. So far I have avoided surgery, and this time am optimistic as I follow his direction that I can manage things conservatively. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
