Welcome to Dennis Ryan Homoeopathy & Remedial Therapy

want treatment tailored to your individual needs?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then you will benefit from a different approach to your health & wellness.
Dennis Ryan has a unique approach where he integrates homoeopathy and a range of gentle but effective remedial bodywork techniques to help you get back on track, fast.
Dennis has an established record of success treating people who have not achieved satisfactory improvements with conventional medicine or other natural therapies.
Philosophy of Practice:
Dennis Ryan is a registered homoeopath and remedial massage therapist. He has been in full time practice for more than ten years.
Dennis’ philosophy of practice is founded in the patient centred approach. Together, practitioner and patient focus is on achieving good health outcomes through effective treatment, and the maintenance of wellness through appropriate exercise and proper regimen.
Dennis’ approach tailors the therapy to your individual needs and sensitivities. You may benefit from integrating homoeopathy and bodywork for treatment of a complex illness, or find that remedial bodywork for an acute, painful low back condition is just right for you. Long term homoeopathic treatment for a chronic condition is often found to be effective.
Dennis approaches your treatment with your best interests in mind. He maintains professional relationships across a wide range of medical, allied health and complementary medicine practitioners and will refer you on to an another professional where your progress indicates this is required.
Modalities:
Homoeopathy
Dennis embraces the classical homoeopathic traditions of individualisation of the case, use of the single remedy and administration of the minimum dose. He treats men, women and children. Pregnant women and babies and elders can all take homoeopathic medicine with confidence.
Bodywork/Massage
Dennis began his learning journey with massage and bodywork more than twenty years ago. Over this time he has developed a unique and gentle form of treatment that integrates soft and connective tissue manipulation and techniques to release restricted fascia with passive structural and joint release techniques and elements of cranial/sacral therapy. The treatments serve to relieve pain, dramatically improve mobility, increase flexibility and enhance function in people suffering from acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
The techniques Dennis uses are non-invasive and do not require oily massage. You can remain completely clothed while receiving effective treatment.
Integrated Therapies
Where it is indicated, homoeopathy integrates beautifully with massage/bodywork. The bodywork gives an immediate release of tension and sense of relaxation while the well selected homoeopathic medicine will stimulate vitality and your body’s innate self healing ability to maximise the benefit of the treatment for you. Each modality optimises the benefits of the other.

The Rich and Famous are fans of Homoeopathy
What do the Queen of England, Mahatma Gandhi, Fidel Castro, Sir Paul McCartney, David Beckham, Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Orlando Bloom, Axl Rose and many other famous people have in common?
They all use homoeopathy for health care.
Homoeopathy is a valid system of medicine
Homoeopathy is used by an estimated 500 million people worldwide, making it the second most widely used health care system in the world, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Homoeopathy is integrated into the health systems of European countries including the UK, France, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. It is widely used in Eastern Europe and Russia. In India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan homoeopaths work alongside medical doctors in hospitals and government funded health clinics and provides primary health care for more than 100 million people. In these countries its use is growing exponentially due to its cost effectiveness. Cuba and several South American countries have successfully used homoeopathy in large scale public health initiatives.
Scope of Homoeopathy
For 200 years homoeopathy has been found to provide effective treatment in certain first aid and injury situations and for treating many acute and chronic diseases. It can be used as a primary health care option for maintaining your general wellness, or for treating certain conditions, particularly chronic states that may not be responsive to orthodox therapies. Homoeopathy can often be integrated with orthodox medicine and is regularly used as a complement to other alternative therapies.
Homoeopathy treats the person
Homoeopathy calls for the individualisation of each case, whether it is an acute or a chronic condition. In the homoeopathic consultation your feelings (sensations) and functions are studied in detail. The homoeopath examines your most prominent symptoms, associated mental and emotional responses as well as past medical history and relevant life events, in short, your story or narrative. The narrative is the case and, after careful assessment according to homoeopathic principles, the homoeopath selects one medicine for you that will address your symptoms and stimulate a whole person healing response.
Homoeopathy has no toxic side effects
Homoeopathic medicines produce no toxic side effects nor do they interact harmfully with any other medications you may be taking. The medicines are manufactured according the exacting quality requirements of the Homoeopathic Pharmacopeia and in compliance with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulatory framework.
Homoeopathy is safe
Homoeopathy can be of benefit for all ages. Pregnant women, mothers, fathers, babies, young children, teenagers, and the elderly can take properly prescribed homoeopathic medicines with confidence. Children, in particular, tend to respond well to homoeopathy and most of the children seen in my clinic have no objection to taking the remedies.
Bodywork/Massage:
The stresses of modern life are reflected as much in our bodies as in our minds. In response to stress or trauma or indirect injury our bodies develop patterns of tension and/or restriction that may inhibit function or cause pain. These patterns do not usually go away by themselves and in most cases require a course of treatment to be sure of a good recovery.
Human bodies possess a structure that can be eased, balanced and to some degree transformed through skilfully applied techniques. The effects of any structural change on a person will be reflected in all facets of their being — not only in the way they move and function but also in their thinking and feeling.
Structural bodywork is a modern practice of soft tissue manipulation that changes the body’s arrangement and in so doing induces order within the structure. It gives length to the muscles and eases tension that inhibits range of motion of the joints while aligning, balancing and integrating the structure.
Remedial bodywork or massage is one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to maintain a healthy equilibrium. Bodywork techniques vary widely amongst practitioners, however, the primary aim is to de-stress the body and restore balance. As a holistic treatment, it works not only upon the “affected” or most painful area but works to improve total health. Remedial bodywork works deeper than relaxing massage, and works to assist the body’s own healing and repair mechanisms. Remedial bodywork therapists will tailor their treatments to suit the individual client’s needs.
Some of the techniques Dennis uses in remedial and structural bodywork include:
Cranial/Facial/Sacral Therapy
Two point release of fascia and associated tissue
Fascial and soft tissue manipulation
Slow & gentle joint releases
Deep tissue massage
Trigger-point therapy
Lymphatic drainage
Remedial massage/bodywork works both as a “single-dose” therapy for acute conditions and as a prolonged system of maintaining total health. Some of the conditions where remedial bodywork is effective include:
Arthritis
Anxiety and Stress
Back and Neck Pain
Circulation problems
Depression
Fibromyalgia
Fibrositis
Frozen shoulder
Headaches
Migraines
Muscular tension
Post-operative rehabilitation
Post-stroke and paralysis
Sinus problems
Sports injuries
Trauma recovery
Whiplash injuries
Testimonials:
Just recently I was feeling dreadful, with a really heavy head, coughing, stuffy and runny nose and eyes, clogged up throat and generally exhausted and wanting to curl up in bed and fade away. After seeing Dennis and within an hour of taking the prescribed remedy, I was feeling alive again and had the energy and inclination to socialise. It was as though the symptoms had been cut with a knife, so dramatic was the effect. The next day, I had such a burst of energy, I spent the day cleaning the house. Thank you Dennis.
A few months ago, I had a problem with haemorrhoids, which was very uncomfortable and made it difficult for me to work. Dennis prescribed a particular homoeopathic medicine, which had quite a miraculous and almost immediate effect. I now use it as a preventive remedy, and it works well.SC Brisbane. I was recommended to Dennis by a friend, and I will always be grateful for that, as he has not only helped me, but also my husband. I have been struggling with and putting up with, very nasty headaches for years and when my friend recommended Dennis, I almost didn’t ring him as I’ve tried so many different approaches that I thought, why should this guy be any different. Well, he was.... he not only has reduced my headaches to almost nil, but has got to the source of the problem and my overall well being has improved. I don’t hold as much stress and tension anymore and therefore have very few headaches. In fact, I haven’t had a bad headache since I met him.
My husband has had surgery on one of his knees and was recently told he would have to undergo the same surgery on the other knee. After discussing his problem with Dennis, I asked my husband if he’d like to avoid surgery. Of course, his answer was yes (but I don’t really think he thought it would actually work). I can honestly say that my husband has not had any knee pain since his first visit with Dennis and therefore has not had surgery. We both continue to see Dennis as needed, but can happily say we are both much better off for meeting him. CJ Brisbane
Just a quick note to say thanks for the remedy - a week ago my eyes were red & swollen (due to allergic reaction to cat/dog @ a friends place). I noticed a marked improvement the next day, then after 4 days both eyes were completely back to normal.
In the past I’ve had almost immediate results (within a couple of hours) with your remedies when I’ve had food poisoning, a real lifesaver. Thanks for that.
Last winter I had the flu & it hung around for 6 weeks, after seeing you to get a remedy I was 90% better in a few days.
The regular tune-ups (remedial bodywork/trigger point massage) for my neck, back, knees & hips is essential for my health & wellbeing. thank you for your ‘magic hands’. I highly recommend for anyone struggling with stiff joints/sore muscles/injuries.
