Osteopath Kew
Living with ongoing pain or stiffness is no fun, and can even make everyday routines feel far more difficult than they need to be. However, regardless of whether you’re dealing with discomfort after long hours at work, recovering from sport, or simply waking up feeling sore, it’s worth having the problem assessed rather than hoping it settles on its own.
If you’re looking for an osteopath near Kew, many local residents choose Principle Four Osteopathy. Located in the Melbourne CBD, our Collins Street clinic is only a short trip from Kew by car or public transport. This makes it convenient for them to fit appointments around their work, university schedule or other commitments.
Our experienced osteopaths assess a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and develop treatment plans to suit each individual. Please contact us today if you would like to make an appointment with one of them.

Our Approach
At Principle Four Osteopathy, rather than simply treating the area that hurts, we focus on understanding the factors that are contributing to your symptoms. Every consultation includes an assessment so your treatment plan reflects your individual circumstances, lifestyle and goals.
Our osteopaths may use a mix of hands-on therapy, exercise advice, education, and other strategies to provide you with a long-term solution to manage your issues. They are also qualified strength-and-conditioning coaches, which means they are ideally suited to develop and administer treatment plans based on your condition.
We accept direct appointments, as well as eligible referrals under WorkCover, DVA, TAC, and Medicare Chronic Disease Management plans.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
During your first visit, your osteopath will perform a detailed assessment to understand the nature and potential causes of your issues. They will also answer any questions you may have and discuss suitable management options.
Your treatment may include hands-on osteopathic techniques, exercise, and movement advice. All of which should help to improve your movement and enable you to perform your everyday activities without pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you see patients from Kew?
We regularly see patients from Kew and neighbouring eastern suburbs. Many work or study near the Melbourne CBD or find it easier to get to by public transport.
Should I book an appointment even if the pain isn't severe?
The earlier they can be managed, the easier it is to assess musculoskeletal conditions. That is why we recommend that if pain, stiffness or restricted movement has continued for more than a few days or keeps returning, it is worth booking an appointment with us. Our osteopaths will assess your symptoms, identify the underlying cause, and develop a treatment plan to prevent them.
