We utilise these tools and apply them to the core philosophical principles of Osteopathic Medicine.
Whole-Body Perspective: We treat the entire body, aiming to restore balance and function.
Structure Influences Function: Our treatments consider how the body & structure affects function and how function affects structure.
Natural Healing: We facilitate the body’s ability to heal itself. In our practice, we blend the latest research with our clinical expertise, but our main focus remains improving patient outcomes through individualised care. By adapting our strategies to meet each patient’s needs, we can hope to provide effective and practical care that addresses immediate concerns and promotes long-term well-being.

Meet our Practitioners
My name is Robert Korac and I am a father, sporting tragic, above average cook, dad joke extraordinaire and a board certified registered Osteopath. Growing up in Sydney and spending many years plying my craft as a sports person, I found myself eventually spending more time in the sheds than on the field. After 4 knee surgeries, several concussions, 3 ligaments torn in my wrist, 2 broken noses and almost everything in between, I decided that helping people would be a far better use of my time. Having seen everyone short of a witch doctor, I found that time and time again, I was going back to the Osteo to fix my issues.
I have always found Osteopathy empowered me and focused on what I could do, getting me back to where I wanted to be sooner. This is what I want to offer you. Honest, straight forward and meaningful solutions to help you get to where you want to be.
Dr Robert Korac
Principal Osteopath

I cater to a diverse clientele, from elite athletes to everyday individuals navigating life’s challenges. Choosing family over a Ph.D. offer, I’m now pursuing a Masters of Strength and Conditioning , continually to sharpen and improve as a clinician.
I have over 10 years of experience working as a coach and more recently as an Osteopath. I have worked with a range of athletes including national level swimmers, BJJ, Australian Rules players and everyday people .
I take interest in managing chronic presentations, such as shoulder and low back conditions, seeking a non-surgical and minimally invasive route for my patients. My method goes beyond traditional treatment; empowering patients with knowledge, making recovery a journey of improvement and understanding. In my practice, osteopathy and sports medicine is more than a job—it's an avenue for healing, education, and connecting people back to their lives.

I am a mother of 2 beautiful boys, connoisseur of all things books, Harry Potter tragic (I have the ink to prove it), patient wife to Robert, and I am an experienced Osteopath and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). After completing my Osteopathy studies in Melbourne, I expanded my experience by working in Brisbane and Sydney. As an Osteopath, I have provided support to individuals experiencing a range of musculoskeletal issues. My practice includes the treatment of both chronic conditions, such as persistent back and neck pain, as well as effectively managing acute complaints that require immediate attention.
While I am skilled in general Osteopathic care for all ages, my passion and specialisation lie in the fields of women's health, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and paediatrics. In my practice, I incorporate a variety of Osteopathic techniques, as well as Optimal Maternal Positioning and Spinning Babies methods, to support pregnant women and help them prepare for childbirth. Following birth, I offer breastfeeding guidance as an IBCLC and provide paediatric osteopathic care for infants.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No referral is needed. Your Osteopath is an AHPRA registered, Osteopathy Board registered clinician, with no referral required for your visit.

Osteopathy looks at the body as a whole, considering several factors when diagnosing your presentation. It is a unique way of looking at your problem when compared to physiotherapists and chiropractors. Chiropractors look at alignment, posture and the central nervous system and base most treatments around creating harmony of these 3 tenants. Physiotherapists are trained musculoskeletal clinicians that typically ply their expertise at rehabbing specific tendons, joints, and ligaments. All have a place in the health landscape, we both respect and appreciate our counterparts and look to collaborative, not combative
