Simply Well
is a health and wellness clinic with professional, experienced, friendly practitioners. We have developed an integrated approach to complementary health care, incorporating natural therapies, manual therapy and rehabilitation as we believe this provides the best possible outcome for our patients and clients.
The clinic offers:
Osteopathy including the very subtle and effective cranial osteopathy
Naturopathy incorporating counselling, herbal medicine, Bach flowers and homeopathy,
Therapeutic massage including relaxation and remedial massage
Pilates-based rehabilitation exercise classes.
Osteopathy primarily corrects structural misalignments and treats painful conditions through manual medicine treatments in a gentle and effective way. Our osteopaths use all the range of osteopathic techniques available but specialise in gentle techniques and cranial osteopathy. ‘Cranial’ techniques are suitable for all ages including infants and children and also the elderly. These techniques may be of benefit to anyone suffering from head trauma, headaches, sinusitis and other head-related problems: Our osteopaths have extensive experience and knowledge in the treatment of infants and children.
This places the treatments used at Simply Well at the gentle end of manual therapy, and in most treatments a diverse range of therapeutic techniques are used to suit the individual and their condition. Joint manipulation may also be used if required but always with patient permission.
Naturopathy is a system of natural medicine that enhances the bodies ability to heal itself by using herbal medicines, homeopathy and other remedies, massage, nutritional advice and counselling. We are fortunate to have naturopath Lynne Scacco working with us. Lynne was director of Brunswick St Natural Therapies and has taught at The Southern School of Natural Therapies for many years. She has recently returned from an extended time overseas.
Massage therapy is available for either relaxation massage which helps relax your muscles and reduce stress and also if you require remedial treatment due to a sports injury, pregnancy or postural complaint Our massage therapists tailor your treatment according to your needs. Massage therapy also supports osteopathic and naturopathic treatment through releasing stress and tension in the muscles. Pregnancy and post-natal massage are performed by professionals with specialist training in the pregnant and immediate postnatal body. This deeply nurturing experience is highly recommended to ease some of the aches and pains caused by the pressures of pregnancy.
Pilates based rehabilitation exercise programs restore strength to the body in a safe and controlled way. Strengthening and reconditioning the body in this way is especially useful following injury and treatment, and to allow the patient a set of self directed exercises to work with at home at their own pace.
Our Pilates based exercise rehabilitation program is extremely gentle and tailored to suit patients who are or have been in pain. This approach separates our program from mainstream Pilates studios. The backup of osteopathic care and therapeutic massage when required gives our patients the best possible chance to re-establish a normal independent lifestyle with less risk of injury and pain.
