Dr Matthew Di Blasi (Osteopath)Bachelor Health Science/Bachelor Applied
Science (Osteopathy)
Matthew's passion for Osteopathy began early on in his football career. As a keen young footballer, Matthew saw first-hand the injuries and pain associated with the game.

Through his studies Matthew developed a deep understanding and interest in how pain is managed and how to optimise a patient's recovery.
While Matthew particularly enjoys treating sports and occupational injuries he loves the diversity that comes with working as an Osteopath. He takes pride in working alongside patients, encouraging them to take an active role in their recovery process. He draws on a variety of treatment methods including dry needling and cupping, tailoring treatment and management plans to the specific needs of the patient.
