Pregnancy care, sports management, exercise, lifestyle issues, injury prevention and treatment, chronic disease management – your osteo will work with the whole you to help keep you going or get you back on your feet.
Newborns
It is tough being a new parent and growing your family. Osteo’s are trained to assess and assist your bub in a very gentle hands-on approach for a wide range of conditions. We consider the various stresses and growth changes impacting the body since birth. Some of the condition’s parents bring their little one in for are tongue ties, torticollis, plagiocephaly, colic, reflux and growing pains. We also work with other healthcare providers to achieve the best outcome for you and your child.
Pregnancy
Up to 50% of pregnant women experience pelvic and back pain at some stage throughout their pregnancy. During pregnancy, the body undergoes mechanical, postural and hormonal changes which increase the load on your joints and your connective tissues in your pelvis and lower back. This can create tension, stiffness, and pain. During pregnancy, our osteo’s can provide manual therapy, exercise support and postural advice which encourages movement and reduces pain for the expectant mother.
Our Team
Dr Addison Levens
Originally from the UK, Addison graduated with a master’s degree in Osteopathy and a postgraduate degree in Paediatrics in 2015 from the British School of Osteopathy. In 2017 he and his wife decided to pack up their lives and head for the amazing lifestyle Perth, WA offers.
One thing he appreciates from life, is being able to help those in their times of need. Osteopathy has enabled him to fulfil his empathetic capability when treating those who experience acute or chronic pain. He feels lucky enough to be able to help all ages from his youngest patient being 1 day old to his eldest patient of 101 years young! Addison shows special interest in assisting babies after birth and also has experience treating pregnant patients as well as looking after them in postpartum.
Addison also pays particular interest and has a lot of experience treating tongue tie patients of all ages.
Most importantly he finds great joy in getting to know his patient’s goals and helping achieve them through a whole-body approach. He will utilise various hands-on osteopathic techniques and is also qualified in using other treatment methods such as K tape strapping and trigger point dry needling. He uses different treatment modalities as he understands everybody is different and should be treated according to their own injury and experience.
In his spare time, you’ll find him either at the gym trying to improve his fitness, at the beach for mindfulness, or laughing with mates when hitting balls into trees on the golf course!
Dr Luke Filling
Luke graduated as an osteopath from RMIT University in 2020 and worked as a CrossFit coach for 5 years whilst studying. During that time, he was lucky enough to see a wide array of movement patterns and advise people on how to prevent and recover from injury. These skills have stuck with him whilst working as an Osteopath in Melbourne and more recently Perth.
Luke has an interest in health and fitness stemmed from his own personal experience with injury when playing basketball at a young age, which led to a passion to help others enjoy their favourite activities pain free through osteopathic care. He believes the body works as one unit which is why he treats people as a whole during his appointments.
His approach to providing care involves helping you achieve your goals with exercise and rehabilitation in combination with hands-on osteopathic treatments. Whether you are a desk worker, athlete or a busy parent, he looks forward to helping improve your health and achieve your goals.
When Luke isn’t at the clinic you’ll find him at the gym or on the basketball court trying not to look out of breath.
Dr Grant Harris
Originally from Melbourne, Grant moved to Perth to chase some sunshine after earning his Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy) from RMIT University. His passion for understanding the human body has always driven him since amassing his own little niggles and injuries throughout life. His aim is to use his own blend of expertise and enthusiasm to every patient consultation.
Grant is dedicated to enhancing your quality of life by equipping you with practical tools and insights to achieve optimal health. He takes great pride in collaborating with you to overcome obstacles and reach your personal goals—whether it’s enjoying pain-free activities with loved ones, running a personal best in a marathon, or simply getting through a work or school day without discomfort. Your health aspirations are his mission.
Grant takes a whole-body approach in practice, using a variety of osteopathic techniques and trigger point dry needling. He will tailor his treatment approach and rehabilitation exercises to suit each individuals’ expectations, goals and needs.
If he is not working, you’ll find him on a run around Perth, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, watching movies or typically fishing unsuccessfully.
What is an Osteo?
Osteopathy is a hands-on manual therapy and uses a whole-body approach to care for patients. This is sometimes called biopsychosocial care, which means we consider biological (body), psychological (mental) and social (environment) factors that may affect your health and wellbeing.
Osteopaths use your individual medical history and environmental factors to understand the root cause of your pain to develop a personalised plan to help you manage your pain and move better. Medicines alone are not always the most effective way to treat pain. There are a number of self-care strategies that can help you to manage your pain and keep you active and doing the things you love.
Our Osteo’s are trained to identify an injury or persistent pain and offer a plan to improve symptoms and help restore the body’s self-healing and repairing mechanisms. They will review any injury or pain you have by looking at your entire biomechanics. This involves the study of how each part of the musculoskeletal system interacts with and influences every other part of the body as a unit, which is central to osteopathy. We recognise that each case of persistent pain is different and needs an individualised plan. This may include various management options such as advising patients on lifestyle, diet, stress management techniques and exercise/rehabilitation.
Please Note: Dr Addison Levens is still taking bookings despite being taken off online. Please feel free to call, text or email us to find out more. There is limited availability, but you can still be added to the waitlist and sometimes you may just be in luck on the day.
We would hate for you to miss an opportunity to experience osteopathy and therefore have other osteopaths at the clinic who are more than happy to help you.
Most Private health insurances are accepted but it is always best to ask your provider before coming in for your appointment. We can process this using our HICAPS trinity machine after your appointment, as long as you have the card with you If you do not have the card, full payment will be required, and an invoice will be sent to the email you provided to us. You will need to send this to your insurance provider.
