What hurts?
Whatever is bothering you, we start by understanding the cause, not just the symptom. Find your area below.
We treat the cause, not just the symptom
The painful spot is rarely the whole story. Before we treat anything, we want to understand how you move, what your days actually look like, and what is really driving this. Then we build a plan together: hands-on treatment to settle things down, and the exercises that make the change stick, so you move better, feel better, and perform better.
We go deep on the cause before we treat.
Treatment starts the day you come in.
You leave knowing the next step.
No hype, no scare tactics, just straight advice.
How we help
A full range of osteopathic care under one roof.
Hands-on assessment and treatment that looks at how your whole body moves, not just the painful spot.
Targeted manual work to release tight, overworked muscles and restore movement.
Gentle techniques to improve joint range and reduce stiffness where it has built up.
Fine needles used to settle stubborn muscle tension and trigger points.
An adjunct technique to help with circulation and muscular tension.

Assessing how you walk and run to find the cause of recurring lower limb issues.
Beyond pain relief
From injury to performance
Getting out of pain is the start, not the finish. Whether you want to return to sport, stay mobile as you age, or simply move through your day without thinking about it, we help you build back stronger and keep you there.
Common questions
A few things people often ask before booking. If your question is not here, give the clinic a call and we will happily talk it through.
Do I need a referral to see an osteopath?+
No. Osteopathy is a primary healthcare profession, so you can book directly without a referral from your GP. If you are accessing care through a specific plan such as a Chronic Disease Management plan or TAC, a referral may be involved, and we are happy to talk you through it.
What happens at my first appointment?+
Your first appointment at Matrix runs for 60 minutes. We spend the first 10 to 15 minutes understanding your history and diagnosing what is going on, followed by around 40 minutes of hands-on treatment, and we finish with a clear plan and a few exercises to take home. You leave knowing what is happening and what the next step is.
Where is the clinic and is there parking?+
Matrix Health & Performance is at 256 Lower Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe East VIC 3079, a short drive from Ivanhoe, Eaglemont, Heidelberg, and Alphington. There is parking available nearby.
What does an osteopath treat?+
Our osteopaths treat a wide range of musculoskeletal complaints, including lower back pain, neck and jaw pain, headaches and migraines, shoulder pain, sciatica, hip pain, knee pain, and foot and ankle pain. If we do not think osteopathy is the right fit for your problem, we will tell you honestly and help point you in the right direction.
Do you offer private health insurance rebates?+
Yes. If you have extras cover that includes osteopathy, you can usually claim a rebate on the spot through HICAPS. The amount you get back depends on your level of cover.
