It was a visit to the local Osteopath in Bendigo after a football injury that initially sparked Ross’ interest to pursue a career in Osteopathy.  After completing his studies at Victoria University in 2003, Ross worked in several clinics across Melbourne before he established Osteopathic Works with Kara in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.

As the human body is a highly complex and specialised unit, Ross believes when one component is not working well it will undoubtedly have flow on effects to other parts of the body.  Through a combined understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy and many years of clinical experience, Ross identifies and corrects underlying dysfunctions that often cause pain and limitations.

Ross uses a structural approach in his treatment style, particularly with joint manipulative techniques of the spine and peripheral joints such as the foot, ankle, knee and elbow.  He has undertaken further studies in dry needling and shockwave therapy which he uses as conjunctive treatment techniques.

Today Ross enjoys keeping fit and active with HIIT group fitness.  Through participating in and supporting studios such as Body Fit, Cross Fit and F45, Ross has a great understanding of the common injuries associated with these programs.  Ross regularly treats members of many fitness studios not only for injury management but also for injury prevention and optimal performance.

Always up for a good chat and laugh, Ross values the close relationship he develops with his patients.  His weekends are spent entertaining his 2 daughters, enjoying a glass of wine with friends and listening to true crime podcasts on the ride-on mower (not in that order!).
