Dr Abby McClure


Osteopath


B.Sc, B.Cl.Sc, M.H.SC

I hold a Bachelor of Science from The University of Melbourne, a Bachelor of Clinical Science and Masters of Osteopathy from Victoria University in Melbourne. I am a member of Osteopathy Australia and registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Osteopathy uses a holistic approach to health care. When it comes to treating patients, I believe in not only treating the pain or the symptoms but by identifying the cause of the problem. I like to use a multidisciplinary approach to treatment when required as I understand my abilities and limitations as a healthcare practitioner. If I don’t think I can help you I will do my best to find someone that can.

I have experience in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal complaints from headaches, neck and shoulder pain to sports injuries or pregnancy related pain.

Throughout my treatments I use a variety of different techniques such as soft tissue (massage), joint mobilisation and manipulation, myofascial techniques and taping. I combine these techniques with exercise prescription and lifestyle advice to give patients the tools to make informed changes to improve their health and well being and avoid reinjury. I understand that every patient is different and tailor my treatment plans to suit the individual.

I have a keen interest in strength training and pilates and am currently completing a Diploma in Professional Pilates Instruction.

After growing up in Castlemaine, I am thrilled to be able to offer Osteopathy to my local community.
