Allied Health Spotlight
Osteopathy
Osteopaths are primary care practitioners who investigate the relationship between the body’s structure and function. Our practitioners relate all aspects of the body including the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and organs to provide an holistic approach to your complaint.
Naturopathy
Naturopathic medicine works to optimise health of the whole person, emphasising prevention and education. Naturopaths utilise in-depth clinical histories, functional pathology and other physical tests to understand the underlying cause of the condition, then enhance the body’s own self-healing capabilities.
Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. Psychological counselling or ‘psychotherapy’ draws from evidence-based treatments that assist you to explore difficulties in emotions, behaviours or relationships that you may be experiencing and to support healing and change.
Myotherapy
Myotherapy is mostly a hands-on treatment of soft-tissue, deep-tissue, dry needling and utilises home-based exercises including foam rollers, spikey ball use, simple stretches and strengthening exercises.
Dietitian
Food doesn’t need rules. You were created to enjoy food and nourish yourself in a way that makes you feel good and pursue health. Nutrition counselling with a Dietitian gently guides reflection on your relationship with food and your body holistically to encourage the unity of all areas for greater well-being.
Remedial Massage
This effective form of massage uses a range of techniques focusing on stimulating blood into muscles, through massage which helps ease the tension in tendons, therefore easing strain on joints.
Exercise Physiology
An AEP is an allied health professional equipped with the knowledge, skills and competencies to design, deliver and evaluate safe and effective exercise interventions based on evidence, for individuals with acute, sub-acute or chronic medical conditions, injuries or disabilities. AEP’s treat individuals of all ages.

Detoxification Focus
Fasting, including intermittent fasting and detoxification diets, may offer several health benefits, such as improved weight management, blood sugar control, and potential protection against certain diseases. Fasting can also promote autophagy, a cellular process that helps remove damaged cells and debris.
Benefits of Fasting include:
- Weight Management – Fasting can help with weight loss by creating a calorie deficit and potentially boosting metabolism.
- Blood Sugar Control – Studies suggest that fasting can improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.
- Potential Disease Protection – Research indicates that fasting may reduce the risk of certain cancers, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
- Autophagy – Fasting can trigger autophagy, a process where the body clears out damaged cells and cellular waste, which may help prevent disease and promote longevity.
- Improved Mental Clarity and Emotional Balance – Some individuals report enhanced mental clarity and emotional well-being during and after fasting periods.
- Detoxification – Fasting can support the body’s natural detoxification processes by allowing the body to focus on eliminating waste and toxins.
Detoxification through Fasting: Fasting, particularly when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, can aid the body’s natural detoxification processes. During fasting, the body may shift from relying on glucose for energy to burning stored fat, which can release stored toxins. However, it’s crucial to approach detoxification safely and with proper guidance.
Consult a Healthcare Professional:
It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any fasting or detoxification program, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.
