Dr Francois Naef (Osteopath) is a fully qualified and registered Osteopath (Master of Osteopathic Medicine, Bachelor of Clinical Sciences) and a member of the Australian Osteopathic Association.

Osteopathy is a form of complementary medicine that focuses on the manipulation of the body's muscles and bones to promote overall health and well-being. Osteopathy is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as back pain, neck pain, and joint problems. Osteopaths believe that the body has the ability to heal itself, and they use manual techniques such as stretching, massage, and joint mobilisation to help restore balance and alleviate pain.

With previous experience in exercise prescription and rehabilitation, Francois offers treatments tailored to the needs of individual patients to help their recovery from pain or injury. While he treats a wide range of conditions, Francois has a special interest in sports injuries and their prevention. As an osteopath (Master in Osteopathic Medicine at Southern Cross University) Francois treats the musculoskeletal systems using safe and gentle manual techniques with a wholistic approach. After a through history and clinical assessment is carried out, treatment techniques range from soft tissue treatment and stretching to joint mobilisation, and may include a lifestyle review and functional exercises. Francois considers that an active collaboration between the patient and practitioner is the key to an effective treatment outcome.

Alongside osteopathic training, Francois uses his extensive previous experience in athlete training  to provide his patients with a personalised health care.
