Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine that recognises the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopathic philosophy works on the following principles:
The body is an integral unit - mind, body and spirit
The different parts of the body (structure) and how they work (function) are interdependent and interrelated
The body is self-regulating and self-healing in the face of disease
The proper function of the body is dependent on the unimpeded supply of the body's fluids and in the expression of the nerves
Using skilled evaluation we use a range of screening techniques including orthopaedic tests to properly diagnose the problem. The techniques utilised in the treatment will be dependent on the diagnosis and could include any of the following hands-on methods and include:
Stretching
Massage
Muscle energy technique
Mobilisation of specific joints
Articulation
Balancing tension within the ligaments,
Cranial Osteopathy
Functional technique
Proprioceptive insoles
Natural herbs
We aim to deliver you to a point in which you can self-manage and we can assist you in maintaining your optimal health and happiness!
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy focuses on releasing muscle tension and calming your nervous system to relieve stress. Having a regular massage has even more benefits, such as improving blood circulation, strengthening the immune system, easing pain, and improving overall health.
Chiaki is an experienced therapist, who is passionate about holistic therapy. She tailors your massage by combining several techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and relaxation massage.
Massage therapy is excellent maintenance for a variety of conditions which involve tension in the muscles. When a muscle is tense, two major things occur:
· The muscles cannot receive an adequate supply of oxygen and other nutrients via the blood.
· The Muscle retains waste products in the tissue, it becomes congested.
Massage can very successfully help normalise these two features, this provides some degree of "space" within which the body can start to achieve some type of balance.

Naturopathy - George Stylian
Most of my clients come to see me for my osteopathic services. Most of them, even a lot of my friends don’t know that I’m qualified in Naturopathy, Botanical Medicine and Bach Flower Therapy. I have been using these modalities to complement my Osteopathic practice for the last 42 years.
My interest in herbal medicine grew when I was a child living with my grandparents in Cyprus. My Grandmother used natural remedies where she could to help us with our ailments. She grew herbs and used them as medicines and in her cooking. In my late teenage years, my older sister was also a big influence, as she would steer me towards nature cure books.
At Bay Osteopathy and Wholistic Health I offer a range of herbal medicines, ointments and creams, which can be used as standalone remedies or in conjunction with other treatments.
All our herbal extracts are sourced from Australian companies and we mostly stock organic and or wild crafted herbal extracts and tinctures.
I love my work and I’m always trying to learn more to help my patients feel healthier and happier. The body's ability to heal itself is amazing and I have faith in our inherent potency that guides the healing process.
