Dr Emily Jones
B.Sc.(Clin.Sc.), M.H.S(Osteo.), Grad.Cert.Neonatal&Infant.Paed.Man.Thrpy.
Dr Emily Jones is a fully qualified and experienced Osteopath who graduated from Victoria University in Melbourne in 2006 and has completed a post-graduate tertiary qualification in Neonatal and Infant Paediatric Manual Therapy from Victoria University. Additional to private practice, Emily has previously worked as a coordinator of the Osteopathy Postgraduate Paediatrics Programme and practitioner in the Paediatric Osteopathy Teaching Clinic at Victoria University.
Emily is skilled in diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of complaints such as (but not limited to) low back pain, neck pain, headaches, perinatal conditions and paediatric common conditions. Emily has a strong interest in patient-centred approaches to health care for the whole family with a special interest in the treatment of pregnant women, babies and children. Emily uses a combination of gentle but effective osteopathic techniques including soft tissue massage, articulation, muscle energy technique, counterstain, high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation, balanced ligamentous tension and cranial osteopathy.

Dr Gabriel Ituarte
B.Sc.(Biomed.Sc.), B.Sc.(Clin.Sc.), M.H.S(Osteo.)
Dr Gabriel Ituarte has a strong interest in osteopathic treatment of pregnant women, babies and children. This special interest has been strengthened through direct experience assisting his own young family. Having helped diagnose and successfully treat his daughter for developmental hip dysplasia highlighted the important role Osteopathy can play in common paediatric conditions. The ability to provide not only immediate help, but also to encourage optimal health and development makes treating babies and children very rewarding for Gabriel.
Exploring new directions and applications in Osteopathy has always been a passion and motivation. His Master's research, for example, examined how osteopathic treatment of the neck can affect jaw pain and function. In 2010, he received the award of Outstanding Master's Student at Victoria University. Gabriel has continued this relationship, acting as a sessional teaching staff member for Clinical Diagnosis. Prior to completing his Master of Osteopathy, Gabriel also completed a degree in Biomedical Science, and contributed for over 7 years as a fitness trainer. His range of study and experience gives Gabriel the expertise to effectively diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions.
