Dr Nathan Switkowski
Senior Osteopath
Dr Nathan graduated in 2017 from RMIT University with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy) and a Bachelor of Health Science.
Dr Nathan was inspired to pursue a career in Osteopathy as an adolescent after experiencing lower back pain for many months. He saw an Osteopath for treatment, which enabled him to return to all his sporting activities pain-free!

Dr Nathan prides himself on clear and concise treatment plans. He is passionate about working with his patients to help them reach their goals, and improve their overall health and wellbeing.
He has a special interest in treating chronic and complex cases, which include disc-related spinal injuries and sciatic pain. He prescribes rehabilitation strengthening and stretching exercises to his patients in combination with manual therapy techniques to achieve effective results.
Dr Nathan previously worked at the Western Bulldogs Football Club as a sports trainer for 3 years. This invaluable experience working alongside elite athletes further developed his skills in managing acute musculoskeletal injuries. While at the club, he was fortunate to be involved in the 2016 AFL and VFL premierships.

Jacqui focus on soft tissue massage and joint mobilisation treatments because of the many benefits that hands-on treatment has on the body.
