Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on manual therapy used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

It recognises the significant relationship between the structure of the body and the way it functions as a whole- treating the entire body, not just the symptomatic area.

Osteopaths work with muscles, joints, ligaments, and connective tissues, aiming to restore balance, mobility, and optimal function. The goal is not only to relieve symptoms, but to identify and address the underlying cause to help prevent recurrence.

​

Dr Joelina Jowett (née Saldaneri) has worked as a qualified Osteopath in private practice for over 19 years. She graduated from RMIT University with a five-year double degree in Osteopathy with Distinction, placing in the top 15% of all RMIT graduates in 2006.

​

With a wide variety of treatment methods, Joelina treats a broad range of conditions and particularly enjoys working with neck and upper back pain, jaw dysfunction, and headaches. She has also completed advanced training in Dry Needling and Cupping, which she has found to be highly effective when combined with osteopathic treatment for appropriate patients.

 

Over time, Joelina’s clinical approach has continued to evolve. Through her experience, she has seen that physical pain does not always exist in isolation. Factors such as stress, emotional load, and the state of the nervous system can influence how symptoms present and how the body responds to treatment. This perspective allows her to work in a way that supports both physical structure and the body’s capacity to regulate, adapt and respond to stress more effectively.

​

In addition to her osteopathic training, Joelina has completed

Level 1 Spinal Energetics training (50+ hours of study and practical training). This work has further deepened her understanding of the nervous system and how the body responds when it feels supported, regulated, and safe.

Spinal Energetics is offered as a separate modality from Osteopathy.
