Melbourne Sports Osteopathy is a boutique, practitioner-led osteopathy clinic focused on helping everyday active people, gym-goers, and those looking to move well and recover from injury.
When we say 'Sports Osteopathy', we're referring to the everyday sports and training people do — gym, running, cycling, team sports, and staying active — rather than elite or high-performance environments.

Functional Strength Programs
Exercise Rehabilitation
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. It uses hands-on techniques like stretching, massage, and joint manipulation to improve movement, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural healing processes, aiming to enhance overall health and function.
Our tailored strength programs help improve strength, mobility, and everyday function. Guided by allied health professionals, these programs support recovery from injury, reduce discomfort, and help you move comfortably in your daily life.
Exercise rehabilitation helps restore movement, improve function, and support your quality of life after injury or surgery. We combine hands-on osteopathic care with tailored exercise programs to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you return to your normal daily activities safely and comfortably.
Our
Story
Melbourne Sports Osteopathy was founded with a focus on combining manual therapy and movement-based rehabilitation. With experience in rehab and functional exercise, Dennis aims to bridge the gap between hands-on care and practical, personalised exercise programs.
He combines hands-on osteopathic techniques with tailored exercise plans to treat pain, restore movement, and support long-term function. His evidence-based, individualised approach helps people recover from injury, manage ongoing discomfort, and move freely in their daily lives.

What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to healthcare that focuses on the muscles, joints, and spine. Using gentle techniques such as stretching, joint mobilisation, and soft tissue therapy, osteopathy helps improve movement, reduce pain, and support the body’s natural function.
Rather than just treating symptoms, osteopaths look at how your body works as a whole to identify and address the root causes of discomfort.
Whether you’re experiencing back, neck, shoulder, or limb pain, postural issues, or general tension, osteopathy provides a personalised path to recovery and long-term wellbeing.
At our clinic, we take the time to understand your lifestyle and health history to create a treatment plan tailored to you. Osteopathy can help people of all ages — from office workers and parents to students and older adults — to move more comfortably, manage pain, and improve daily function.
