Gaby is passionate about treating complex and chronic cases. She works collaboratively with other specialists, and allied health practitioners in the diagnosis, treatment and best management practices for the presenting condition and complaints of her patients.

Gaby has vast experience in patient care using both “structural osteopathy” and “cranial osteopathy”, treating ALL ages from newborns to the elderly – and on a typical day in practice, she may see conditions that include, but are not limited to:

· Muscle spasm and joint pain,

· Neck pain, headaches and migraines,

· Lower back and pelvic girdle pain including acute and chronic disc bulges,

· Sciatica

· Tendonitis, Bursitis, RSI, tennis and golfers elbow,

· Hip pain

With a wide range of manual treatment techniques she employs, as well as movement and rehabilitation exercises, another key element to her treatments is also in empowering her patients to understand their condition and pain, and help educate them in creating optimal health for them.

This may include education in lifestyle factors such as nutrition, stress management, postural awareness, and ways to reduce pain, increase functional movements, and improve strength and stability in their systems, as well as refer to appropriate specialists as required.
