Dr. Rebecca Rose

(Registered Osteopath)

 

Rebecca has a real passion for helping people and so Osteopathy is a perfect fit for her as it's meant she's has been able to help thousands of patients over the many years that she has been an Osteopath. Graduating in the early 2000's she has seen a wide variety of patients having worked in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney before settling in the Gold Coast. As such in her developing years as an Osteopath she mentored with and learnt from some of the best practitioners in Australia. 

 

So we are really delighted to have such a hugely experienced and talented healer on our team. It's great for you the patient, but also for the rest of us here at ION as Rebecca's a very generous person who's always happy to discuss osteopathy and pass on to her fellow practitioners what she has learnt in her many years treating.

Rebecca's treatment Style

Rebecca's treats all ages. Her approach is to have a conversation about your body each time you visit, and get all the details to look at the whole body. She will then get you to do some movements and feel some of the tissues in your body, which we call palpation. This way we can see what areas are under strain, and what areas are contributing to the issue whether it be things like posture, pain, growing issues, discomfort or anxiety for example. She believes bodies are naturally inclined to heal themselves, and she likes to work with the body’s own homeostasis mechanisms. As osteopaths, we don’t fix. We support the body's innate capacity to heal. This puts you in charge, rather than feeling like you are relying on someone to ‘fix’ you. 

 

Having treated 1000's of patients Rebecca has the palpation skills and experience to be able to gain a lot of information from your muscles and joints and body health without causing you unnecessary pain. There may be some discomfort, but care is taken to explain the process and reasons for the techniques and assessments used. 

 

It’s so important for you to know the rationale behind the session as it allows your mind to relax a little knowing you're in safe hands, but more than that your body senses that deep sense of touch and safety and that allows your muscles and your nervous system to dial the tension down a few notches. Techniques such as myofascial release, gentle manipulation of the joints and a gentle biodynamic approach will be used depending on your body’s needs.

 

And finally on top of all that Rebecca is experienced in dry needling and if your muscles would benefit from this  modality she will discuss that with you. Of course it is entirely up to you if you’re comfortable with this treatment option or any treatment technique.
