Conditions We Treat
Personalised care for your unique health concerns.
Chronic Pain Relief
You don’t have to live with ongoing pain. Using gentle, targeted osteopathic treatments, Osteopathy helps you find relief, regain mobility, and reclaim the quality of life you’ve been missing.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Injuries shouldn’t keep you sidelined longer than necessary. Targeted osteopathic treatments and personalised rehabilitation plans help you recover faster, rebuild strength, and confidently return to the activities you love—whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete.
Posture Improvement & Pain Relief
Your posture reflects how you feel—both physically and emotionally. Tailored osteopathic treatments gently unravel patterns of pain, stress, or tension affecting your alignment, restoring balance so you can move comfortably, breathe freely, and feel confidently at ease in your body again.
Pregnancy & Postnatal Care
We all know the body changes shape during pregnancy—often bringing a host of common discomforts. Gentle osteopathic treatments aim to relieve lower back and pelvic pain, lower abdominal discomfort, rib and sacral pain, reflux, digestive troubles, and other pregnancy-related tensions. Each session is tailored to ease stress, restore balance, and support your body’s natural recovery, so you feel healthy, confident, and comfortable throughout your journey into motherhood and beyond.
Paediatric Osteopathy for Infants & Newborns
Your baby deserves gentle, supportive care from the very beginning. Specialised craniosacral and osteopathic techniques can ease common concerns such as feeding and latching issues, reflux, colic, unsettled sleep, digestion troubles, side preferences, and early developmental challenges. Treatments include practical, empowering guidance for parents—helping you nurture your baby’s health and comfort with confidence.

Osteopathy for Pain & Movement
Whether you’re dealing with postural tension, headaches, jaw pain, fatigue or needing diagnosis for a sports injury, osteopathy offers hands-on treatment that supports the way your whole body functions. Each session is tailored to your needs—relieving discomfort, improving movement, and restoring balance.
Support for Growing Bodies
As children grow, their bodies go through rapid changes—physically and developmentally. Osteopathy can help support posture, movement patterns, growing pains, and musculoskeletal tension from sport, study, or everyday life. Each session is tailored to your child’s age, needs, and comfort level.
Pregnancy & Infant Osteopathy
Osteopathy offers gentle, supportive care during pregnancy and after birth. We help manage the physical demands of pregnancy, ease postural tension, and support your baby’s comfort and development.

Andrew's treatments are definitely healing. After two sessions, I have experienced a significant reduction in discomfort and pain and an increase in mobility and flexibility.
Alex FRith
Patrick is a fantastic man and his attention to detail and knowledge is so reassuring. I have had treatment for a knee issue and he really helped me with my recovery by giving me clear and honest advice. I would not hesitate to recommend Ocean Osteo to anyone seeking help.

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough! Always very professional and empathetic, Andrew has helped me a lot over the years with many different issues. I feel uplifted and motivated after each session 🙂
Jane Rooke
As a pregnant mum for the second time, I cannot recommend Gold Coast Osteopathy highly enough. The care and expertise provided by both Patty and Andrew have made a world of difference throughout my pregnancy. In the early stages, their cranial and sacrum techniques eased my morning sickness significantly. Now at 32 weeks, Patty’s treatments have provided much-needed relief from the heaviness and tightness caused by uterine growth, helping me feel more comfortable and supported as I prepare for birth. Their professional yet deeply caring approach has been exceptional, and I’m already planning to bring my newborn here for her first treatment. If you're looking for compassionate and effective osteopathic care during pregnancy, Gold Coast Osteopathy is an outstanding choice. Thank you, Patty and Andrew, for your incredible support!
