Dr. Adam Chew

Owner | Senior Osteopath | Strength Coach

I completed my double degree in Bachelor of Clinical Science and Masters of Health Science (Osteopathy) at Victoria University.

Health, movement and rehab have always been an interest of mine from a young age. I love that Osteopathy treats the person and not just the signs and symptoms, as everyone has different goals and will need different forms of management and intervention. I believe that it is important to not only look at what’s causing the pain but to also assess and improve any functional restrictions that you may have in your day to day activities without eliminating anything meaningful.

As an avid powerlifter and competitor, I understand what is required to fully optimise each individual’s potential to achieve new heights of health and performance goals.

Whether you’re suffering from unresolved aches and pains, sport or lifting injuries, we will endeavour to ensure that you gain a thorough understanding of the root cause of your symptoms and what you can do outside of treatment to facilitate recovery.

As rehab programs are not a one size fits all, I believe that my point of difference is tailoring specific rehab programs or mobility drills for each individual while providing education to my patients regarding their pain.
I treat using a combination of soft tissue technique, dry needling, joint manipulation, MET, with a huge emphasis on rehab and exercises.

Dr. Daniel Bartholomeusz

Osteopath

I completed my Bachelor and Master of Osteopathy at Victoria University.

Over the course of my career, I have grown particularly skilled at treating a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions, from neck and back pain to headaches, shoulder and lower-limb injuries. I enjoy working and interacting with people from all walks of life, which pairs with my patient-centred and individualised approach to treatment. I like to take the time to understand not only what is causing someone’s pain, but also how it is affecting their day to day life, work, training and the other things they enjoy doing.

Outside of osteopathy, I have a strong interest in strength training, exercise and physical performance. Because of this, I particularly enjoy working with people who want to stay active, return to exercise or the gym after injury, or simply build confidence in the way their body moves.

Depending on the individual, treatment may include hands-on osteopathic techniques, exercise rehabilitation, and education and advice. I have also completed additional training in dry needling, which I incorporate into treatment where appropriate.

Outside of clinic hours, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I love both watching and playing basketball, and I’ve also developed a keen interest in golf – though my skills are fairly non-existent.
