Where does it hurt?

Tell us what's going on and we'll point you to the right place. Most people come to us with one of these - and leave moving a whole lot better.

Headaches & migraines

Tension headaches, migraines, and the kind that builds across a workday. We look at the neck, jaw and posture driving it - not just the symptom - and give you a plan to stop it coming back.

What we treat

Bodies of every kind.

Young or old, amateur or elite, acute or chronic. If it moves - or doesn't move when it should - there's a fair chance we can help.

01

Pregnancy & birth prep

Support through every trimester and into post-natal recovery. Pelvic girdle pain, rib discomfort, lower back strain - plus preparing your body for labour. Laura's a mother of three, so this one's personal.

We treat throughout all three trimesters and into post-natal recovery. Common conditions include pelvic girdle pain, symphysis pubis dysfunction, rib discomfort, lower back and hip pain. We also offer birth preparation sessions - working on positioning, breathing and pelvic floor awareness - and support recovery after caesarean or vaginal birth. Laura has a particular passion for this area.

02

Headaches & migraines

Tension, jaw-driven and posture-related headaches. Hands-on, not medication-first.

Most headaches have a mechanical cause - tight neck muscles, restricted joints, jaw tension or posture issues - and respond really well to osteopathy. We assess the whole picture: neck, upper back, jaw and how you're sitting at work. We treat the source, give you exercises to maintain it, and aim to reduce how often they come back significantly.

03

Back & neck pain

Flared up overnight or been there for years - we find what's actually driving it.

Back and neck pain is what we see most. Whether it's a sudden flare-up, a long-standing ache, sciatica, disc pain or stiffness that never quite goes, we dig into the cause rather than just treating the symptom. Expect hands-on treatment, clear explanation of what's going on, and a plan to keep it from coming back.

04

Jaw pain & TMJ

Clicking, locking, clenching, grinding. Emilia has a real knack for jaws.

TMJ dysfunction is often tangled up with neck tension, stress and sleep habits. Symptoms include clicking, jaw locking, facial pain, clenching or grinding (bruxism) and headaches that start near the temples. Emilia has advanced training in jaw assessment and treatment and regularly gets results where other approaches haven't worked.

05

Sports & rehab

Back to training stronger. Built around your sport and your goals.

From weekend warriors to competitive athletes - we treat acute injuries, overuse issues and post-surgery rehabilitation. We understand how sport works and how your body needs to move within it. Treatment is hands-on, rehab is specific and progressive, and we won't keep you off the field any longer than necessary.

06

Desk-worker care

For the South Melbourne professional. Necks, shoulders, hips - the 9-to-late special.

Sitting for long hours creates a very predictable pattern of tension: tight hip flexors, rounded shoulders, a stiff mid-back and a neck that aches by 3pm. We treat the damage done and give you practical strategies - posture, movement, desk setup - to stop it building back up. A lot of our patients are from the CBD and Southbank office crowd.

The Agility difference

We treat you - then send you back to your life.

We don't believe in keeping you on a never-ending treatment plan. That's not what good care looks like.

Our job is to work out what's actually going on, treat it properly with our hands, teach you how to look after it yourself, and be here if you ever need us again. Personal, professional and warm - every single visit.

It's why most of our patients come from word-of-mouth. People send us the people they love.

Our team

Three excellent humans.

You'll know us by name. We'll know you by name. None of that "next available practitioner" nonsense - we care who looks after you, and so do you.

Never been to an osteo?

Here's exactly what happens.

No mystery, no white-coat weirdness. Just four simple steps from booking to feeling better. Most people are surprised how relaxed it is.

01

You book

Online in under 60 seconds, or call us and we'll sort it. Same-day slots kept open daily for the urgent ones.

02

We listen

Your first visit starts with a proper chat and assessment. We want the full picture - not just where it hurts today.

03

We treat

Hands-on treatment tailored to you, plus simple things to do at home. You'll usually feel a difference quickly.

04

You improve

A clear plan to get better and stay better. We'll tell you honestly how many visits you actually need.

Good questions

The things everyone asks.

Nope. Osteopathy is a primary healthcare profession - you can book directly with us, no GP referral needed. (DVA and some care plans are an exception - give us a call and we'll talk you through it.)

If you have "extras" cover that includes osteopathy, yes. We have HICAPS on the spot, so you only pay the gap - no claiming forms, no waiting for a refund. All major health funds accepted.

It shouldn't. Treatment is tailored to you and your comfort - if an area is too tender to work on directly, we have plenty of gentler ways to help. You're always in control, and we'll always explain what we're doing and why.

Honestly? As few as possible. We're not a clinic that keeps you coming back forever. After your first visit we'll give you a straight answer on what your body actually needs - and if that's just one or two visits, brilliant.

Often, yes. We hold same-day emergency slots open every day for acute problems. Call the clinic and we'll do our best to fit you in - that's the whole point of keeping spare capacity.

Absolutely. Pregnancy and post-natal care is one of our biggest specialties - Laura's a mum of three herself. We see all ages, gently and safely.
