Osteopathy is a form of manual healthcare that recognises the important link between the structure of the body and its ability to function at its maximum ability.
After five years of University training and compulsory continued education every year, our Osteopaths are able to use skilled evaluation and diagnostic training to discuss with you a reason and educate you about the cause of your pain, and create a unique, specific and tailor made treatment plan for you.

Dry needling uses acupuncture-type needles to release myofascial trigger points with the focus on releasing muscular tension and pain, therefore improving joint mobility. The similarity between these two treatment styles stops at the needles utilised. Acupuncture, as a generalisation, tends to be a more superficial style of treatment with the intention of treating energy ("Qi") imbalances in the body.

Great Osteopathy, highly recommended. Alex was very thorough in getting to know my pains and everything relevant to my condition. I had both immediate and longer term benefits, with personalised exercises to do in between appointments. Alex is extremely welcoming and friendly, paired with experience and skill makes this an easy recommendation.

If I could give more than 5 star I would, I met Alex and she is a star. I have had a rough year with breast surgery, medication and rehab. I was in pain when I saw her for the first appointment she was so lovely worked with all the things I had listed and exceeded my expectations and she fixed me in one sitting. She is very easy to work with and so lovely as she has a lot of passion and exceptional skills to work with what ever your challenges are.
Then my friend who is a body builder and has a few back issue saw her and he has the same experience. Alex is consistent in her approach and does her

My first visit to ProActive Osteopathy was not only beneficial, but also pleasant. Alex worked quickly and effectively, while chatting with me. I felt confident that Alex understood my condition & treated me with a high degree of professionalism. She explained the treatment clearly, and answered all my questions.
All up, a very positive experience.

My consultation couldn't have been more thorough this being my first ever consultation with an Osteopath. Everything was explained and discussed in a very professional and pleasant manner as the consultation unfolded. What's more I had an amazing sleep that night and awoke feeling so relaxed. I would certainly recommend this practice.

I would highly recommend receiving treatments from Proactive Osteopathy. I received a number of treatments from Osteopath Stefania and instantly felt more aligned and less tense after the first treatment. As a mother with young children I am constantly bending over and carrying them and therefore I suffer from regular back pain and shoulder pain. Stefania was able to provide me with exercises that I could do to prevent future flair ups and aches. Stefania was extremely thorough in her assessment and I felt really reassured that the treatment I was provided was well considered and necessary for

Alex is fantastic, so knowledgeable and helpful, not to mention funny and very good at making you feel at ease. ProActive Osteopathy is currently helping ease those facing the bushfires by providing their services out in Gippsland too. An all around great business.
I trusted Alex with an old injury I'd been scared to see anyone about because of the trauma associated with it, and she put me at ease, showed the injury and me respect, and provided genuine help and reassurance. I've noticed immediate improvements, not to mention plans for ongoing care to alleviate symptoms. I thoroughly recommend

Great service from Michael! I have been to massage therapists here and overseas and Michael is by far the best therapist I know. His application of 'cupping' in particular have been very helpful in easing the tension in my lower back and shoulders. Thanks Michael for the great help over the last year and half!

Have been seeing Alex the osteopath at Proactive in Malvern East for a number of years now. She has successfully managed my back pain from scoliosis and fusion surgery. When I first met Alex I was in a back brace and struggling with every day tasks. In a matter of just a few massage sessions I was out of the brace and making huge improvements. I can't thank Alex and the team at Proactive enough for helping me get my life back and live pain free! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

By far the best osteopath I’ve ever come across! First met her while I was suffering with terrible back pain, and Alex not only helped manage it, but formulated a recovery plan for me, and pointed me towards the right people to assist with my recovery. While doctors told me I should consider a different line of work, Alex helped me to make a full recovery. I highly recommend this clinic to everyone!
