Osteopathy is a holistic form of healthcare for all the family.
Registered Osteopath & Scenar Therapist
Registered Osteopath & Scenar Therapist
Dr. Lara’s practice is friendly and person-centred; she can treat a wide variety of health complaints, which involves taking a medical history and performing an osteopathic examination, before offering a diagnosis and treatment plan, ensuring that both short and long-term results are achieved.
Lara provides a safe, comfortable treatment environment and gives professional advice and exercises where appropriate, in support of her patient’s return to health.
She can draw on her experience, skilled evaluation, diagnosis and hands-on techniques to identify important dysfunction in the body and to establish the root cause of a patient’s problem.
Osteopathy is covered as ‘extras’ in most private health funds, Lara is a registered provider for Medicare, Workers’ Compensation schemes, Motor Accident Insurers and Department of Veterans Affairs.
Osteopathic treatment uses techniques such as stretching, articulations and massage for soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments), as well as gentle cranial release techniques and mobilisation of specific joints.
Lara is UK trained and has 17 years experience treating adults, children and babies. She is registered with the Osteopathy Board of Australia and is a member of the Australian Osteopathic Association. Lara is a qualified Cranial Osteopath, with post-graduate training qualification in Paediatric Osteopathy, enabling her to offer specialised treatment for babies and children. Lara spent four years working at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in London, UK with leading Paediatric Osteopaths, treating young people of all ages, from newly born babies to teenagers, with many different disorders, as well as seeing children in her own private practice.
Lara also offers Scenar Therapy in her practice, which is non-invasive, safe and drug-free, it can be used in conjunction with Osteopathy or on its own. Scenar is a hand held electro-pulse medical device, that when applied to the skin, stimulates the body’s own natural healing responses. It uses non damaging ‘high amplitude’ electro-impulses which mimic the body’s own nervous system currents.
Scenar is the world’s first electrotherapeutic device to use real time bio-feedback to communicate with the body. The effectiveness of Scenar Therapy for pain relief is substantial and lasts longer than other pain control methods (Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia 2004).
In addition to Osteopathic and Scenar treatment, Lara is a qualified Yoga teacher who runs weekly classes suitable for beginners and advanced levels. Lara can advise people about specific Yoga exercises for different complains as part of an ongoing treatment plan.
Why not treat a family member or friend to an osteopathic check-up, Scenar treatment or introductory yoga lesson for a special occasion or just to say ‘Thank you’.
