Hailing from the foothills of the Dandenongs in Melbourne's outer east, Ben came directly to Osteoworks as a graduate of Victoria University. After seeing the Karate Kid movie as a seven-year-old, Ben says he was inspired to get his junior black belt before the call of team sport became too loud to ignore. A diehard Hawthorn fan, Ben played AFL at the local and representative level as a youngster and has worked as an Osteopath with the women's VFL team Western Spurs. Before his studies in Osteopathy, Ben completed Certificates III and IV in Fitness and has a particular interest in rehabilitation and movement training. Ben uses a combination of hands-on structural osteopathic techniques such as mobilisation, manipulation, stretching and massage, depending on the needs of the individual. Ben strongly believes that the body is a unit. Therefore, to help his patients function efficiently and achieve their goals, he considers all facets of health. x
Born in Tasmania and raised in the beautiful Northern Rivers region of Northern New South Wales, Jay completed his Osteopathic Masters Degree with Southern Cross University in 2014.
Upon discovering a love for long distance running as a child, to this day Jay never lost his passion for maintaining an active lifestyle. After achieving goals such as the Gold Coast Marathon as well as several iconic trail runs throughout the mountainous South Island of New Zealand, he turned his sights to some less solitary sports, eventually leading to his current obsession with competitive Grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Jay brings proven hands on techniques to your appointment to provide relief and address the underlying cause of any issues that might be bothering you. Think better movement, relaxed muscles and freer joints! Massage, mobilisation, stretching are all on the table in his treatments.
He has a vast knowledge of preventative prehab and rehab approaches to strengthen, balance and stabilise your weak areas through gentle and individualised beginner exercises that can be tailored to almost any age or stage of your healing process. Jay has a particular knack for assisting those returning to exercise/hobbies/training after time off.
