Oceanside Osteo Geelong began its journey from a desire to provide the Greater Geelong community with high quality, incomparable health care. We want to make a meaningful impact in peoples lives. To do this, we strive to provide a high level of health care that is tailored to each individual because everyone's goals are different. Some people want their knee injury fixed so they can continue to run marathons, whilst others simply want to be able to get up and down from the ground without discomfort so they can play with their kids. We personally go out of our way to get to know each and everyone of our patients and their goals, so that their treatment and management is specific to them. There is nothing worse than feeling like you have not been listened to when seeing a health practitioner for your injury. |

He has over 9 years of clinical experience and has been working around the Geelong and Bellarine since 2016. He has worked with talented Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Sports Doctors since moving to Geelong, advancing his skills in the treatment and management of neck & back pain and sporting injuries. Put simply, he loves helping people. Nick currently works alongside some of Geelong's best Myotherapists at Myotherapy and Allied Health, seeing a large range of injuries across all ages. He enjoys treating a wide variety of injuries, with a strong knowledge in the treatment and management of shoulder injuries, neck and back pain, sciatica and hip-related injuries.

This unique style of treatment provides his patients with high value, quality treatment options that incorporate manual therapy (massage), dry needling, joint manipulation and exercise prescription.

Not only is Nick a single-digit golfer and avid golf enthusiast, he is also a TPI certified golf health professional. This means he uses he extensive knowledge of the human body, combined with the understanding of the biomechanics of a golf swing to determine whether a player's golf game (and therefore their handicap) is being affected by their physical limitations / pain and injury.
TPI Golf Swing Assessment Screen If you don’t assess, it’s just a guess. To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health, and injury history. The TPI movement screen is a simple test to quickly evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. The results of that assessment are used to determine how technical elements of the player’s swing could be related to what their body can or cannot do. Once this screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for that golfer. The plan may include fitness training, physical therapy and treatment, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics, nutrition, mental strategy or all of the above. |
