25.01.2022 EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE: Since beginning my career in osteopathy in 2008, I’ve come to realise that there are many people for which the industry remains a complete mystery.

25.01.2022 NOT A CHIRO: Osteopathy often gets confused with chiropractic work, and while there may be small overlap in some techniques, osteopathy is more holistic.

24.01.2022 Thank you to everyone for your interest in lending your bodies/getting a free osteo session! We have contacted those that were successful. Til next time!

23.01.2022 Are you a Remedial Massage SuperStar? Townsville Osteopathy is looking for qualified Remedial Massage Therapists to join the clinic for weeknight and weekend work. We are forever being asked by our exisiting patient base for excellent massage therapists, so this is an amazing opportunity for motivated and energetic practitioners to capitalise on!... Beautifully appointed treatment rooms, help in building a wonderful client base, flexibility with days and excellent renumeration are just the beginning. Send CV or enquiries to [email protected]

23.01.2022 CRUNCH TIME: Hands-on treatment has many benefits, but it is also up to the client to take ownership of their journey and lifestyle choices and implement those changes that only they can make.

23.01.2022 Happy Easter! A bit delayed, but hey, we all have a bit more time these days, so might as well prolong the love. Take this time to catch your breath, enjoy who and what you have around you, do your f@&king stretches, find that bit of joy each day, and bloody exercise! In 6 months time, if things go back to how they were (personally I hope not, this is a huge chance to reset and review how we want life to be) I hope youve all at least gained truckloads of gratitude for just how good life is...when you can make the most of it. But make the most of it now, however that may be. Xo

23.01.2022 PREGNANCY JOURNEY: The hormonal changes, postural changes and the weight gain are often so large and complex for pregnant women that it is, unsurprisingly, a lot for their body to take on.

23.01.2022 Just a heads up about what is happening at Townsville Osteopathy: - Nicole is injured and not treating until late August....silly thing did not listen to her own advice and tried working through a pretty nasty wrist injury ...do as she says, not as she does!!!... - Dr Thomas McKillop has recently moved from Hobart and is taking existing and new patients - Nicole will be in and about the clinic playing receptionist and ensuring a smooth transition of her existing patients to Thomas We appreciate the ongoing support of the clinic this year...good old 2020 just keeps delivering the goods! And thanks to Daina from Townsville Podiatry for helping me with my first FB video ...one take wonder!!!!

22.01.2022 Osteo appointments available this week! Wed 20th: 10.30am (return) *Friday 22nd: 9.40am, 10.20am, 11.40am, 12.20pm; both new and return consultations... *Friday sessions not able to be booked online at the moment, so DM us to snap up a session

20.01.2022 APPLICATIONS CLOSE Friday May 31st. Townsville Osteopathy is after a strong, charismatic and energetic massage therapist to work along side Dr Nicole Bates, providing warm-up/prep massage for her osteopathic patients. You do NOT need a provider number, but will need all insurances, current association membership and first aid in place.... This is a great job. No stress of rebooking, fast paced/quick patient turnover so less strain on the body, and great exposure to more potential clients. Hours will be ~2pm-6.30pm Monday and Thursday. Hourly rate negotiable for level of experience. Please email CV to [email protected]

20.01.2022 MIRACLE OF LIFE: One of my favourite parts about my job is helping woman to find some ease. It is great to be able to help women facilitate through the change that is pregnancy.

19.01.2022 Happy Friday Everybody! Ease into the weekend, get outdoors for some sunshine and relax before the craziness of December kicks in!

18.01.2022 Hooray!!! We are reopening tomorrow, Monday 5th. Now the flooring is not completed but hey, not everything can run smoothly. Hayley is here for all your Osteopathy needs. And Tanja has your remedial massage covered. ... Bert is still having an amazing holiday. And well I am relaxing by a pool in Singapore after an epic Europe holiday. I am recharged and excited to get my hands on you all , but I need one more week of sister catch-ups, massages, a bit of osteo learning, oh and some sweet birthday celebrations Remember to book online at http://townsvilleosteopathy.com/bookings/ Catch you in a week

18.01.2022 PROACTIVE APPROACH: As people move into their forties and then fifties, they do lose bone strength and it can be hard to put on muscle mass and unfortunately, the longer people leave it the harder it can be to claw back.

17.01.2022 HANDS-ON TREATMENT: Osteopaths skillfully assess how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function together. We then use that information to help reduce pain, restore movement and improve the function of the body.

17.01.2022 Just a reminder about the cold and flu season; if you are coughing up a lung, phlegm or need 45 tissues to catch your snot, just reschedule your appointment. Im a happier Osteopath knowing Im going to be able to treat ALL of my patients because you did the adult thing and stayed away. Garlic, water, rest and RE-BOOK! If not, be ware of my wrath!

16.01.2022 HOW DOES IT WORK? An assessment of the whole body is done to pin point any issues you might have. #osteopathy #holistichealth

16.01.2022 FEELING YOUR AGE: Between the ages of 35-40, females in particular tend to notice a lot of changes within their body.

16.01.2022 WORK FROM HOME: An interesting result from people working from home is the ability to have a more well-rounded work-life balance.

15.01.2022 YOUR CHOICE: In the grand scheme of things, an appointment with an osteopath is the equivalent to a nice dinner and drinks with your friends, or a night out on the town. And that's just for a few hours of entertainment.

11.01.2022 NINE TO FIVE: Dolly Parton said it best working nine to five, what a way to make a living. And while the sentiment hasn’t really changed some 40-years’ later, unfortunately over that time what has changed is the increase in a sedentary lifestyle.

10.01.2022 SWEET RELIEF: Manual therapy provides our patients with the relief they need from musculoskeletal pains.

10.01.2022 POOR FORM: Although it’s not something we tend to sit and think about often, the lifestyle habits that are adopted in the early years of a person’s life play a big part in how their body declines as it ages.

10.01.2022 Its Osteopathy awareness week! We LOVE our profession and want to get the word out to more and more people! All week well be highlighting how OSTEOPATHY can help you on your health journey. ... To find out more look at osteopathy.org.au or townsvilleosteopathy.com #GiveOsteoAGo #OAW2019

06.01.2022 FOREVER YOUNG: No one wants to be old before their time or lose their independence unnecessarily.

06.01.2022 What a crazy couple of weeks in Townsville. We hope that everyone affected by the floods is getting back on track and regaining some sense of normalcy. There are a few new faces in the clinic. Paul Shanahan of Bamboo Chiro has re-homed with us after the floods devastated his clinic. So himself and the lovely Michelle, on reception, will be working out of the clinic in the short term. Lovely peeps, so make them feel welcome. I am also SUPER excited to announce that magic ha...nds Tanja Gourley is back in the city and working here Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 9-2pm. So if you know someone that needs a bit of TLC, Tanja will have them covered. Wed also like to do our bit for flood relief, so Tanja will be offering $65/hr massages (private health rebates apply*) and $10 of that will go to flood relief, for the rest of February. Book online or call 0437 67 67 30 And Bert will be in the office everyday except Wednesday, as he has a standing date with his girl Bonnie Townsville, you have been amazing at coming together in these hard times. Keep it going. And remember to keep backing local businesses xo

02.01.2022 And that is a wrap for 2019!! That was one crazy year, but we survived! Everyone deserves a delightful and relaxing Christmas break after what was a truly testing year.... A HUGE thank you to my wonderful patients, I absolutely adore my work because of you all, and I am forever grateful for your ongoing support. We will be closed until January 6th, but you can make bookings for the New Year online. Next year brings a fresh look, new website (apologies if the current one is a bit clunky; just one more 2019 stuff-up!), another massage therapist and a few more extra additions to the clinic. From myself, and of course Bert, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and an extraordinary 2020!!! xoxo

02.01.2022 HOLISTIC HEALTH: Osteopathy, at its very core, is a holistic approach to health care and well being that focuses on total body health. #osteopathy #holistichealth

02.01.2022 COVID UPDATE AND CLINIC CHANGES. After taking some time to get my head around government restrictions, social distancing, recommendations on who should be self-isolating, who can and cannot work, having a small moment myself to stay on top of my own wellbeing, and also keeping track of COVID-19 stats in the region, I have settled on a plan to continue operating that I feel confident in. The new measures fit in to the current government guidelines, so along with some restric...tions in place and also changes in clinic protocols, I feel comfortable resuming osteopathic consultations, as I have aimed to minimise risk to both patient and practitioner. In keeping with Government guidelines, I have implemented the following restrictions; - Do not book an appointment for minimum 15 days if you, or someone in your household has returned from overseas or interstate - Do not book in if you are waiting on a COVID-19 test result - Do not come in if you feel unwell, have a fever, sore throat, or it is possible that you have come into contact with someone with COVID-19 - No patients over the age or 70 - No patients over the age of 60 with preexisting medical conditions (heart, lung, autoimmune, diabetes, high blood pressure etc) - No indigenous patients over the age of 50 - Only one patient/person in a treatment room at a time, unless you are an adult accompanying a minor from the same household (sorry you can not bring all the kids, partners, family to appointments; there will be waiting room restrictions as well, so please, just leave everyone else at home) All bookings must be done online to ensure that you meet criteria to come into the clinic. https://www.tsvosteo.com.au/bookings/ On my part I will be rotating rooms and disinfecting surfaces to ensure a high level of sanitisation. Apart from work, I will be strictly observing all other social distancing measures to ensure that my risk remains low. Sadly remedial massage has been banned, so at this stage Rita and Sarah-Jane are unable to work in any capacity at the clinic. If you still feel uncomfortable coming in, or fall into the restricted category but need some help, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will try my best to assist you. I will see how these measures go over the next week or 2, and obviously adapt them to keep in line with government guidelines and restrictions. Thank you for your ongoing support and patience through these uncertain times, please look after yourself and one another. Cheers Nicole [email protected] 0437 676 730
