Osteopathy — Belgium Gardens, Townsville
Clinical Excellence & Osteopathic Integrity
Osteopathy is a government-regulated allied health profession focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal conditions and their wider effects on the body. Dr Phillip Murray holds a Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy) from RMIT University and is registered with AHPRA and the Osteopathy Board of Australia.
Every consultation begins with a thorough assessment of your history, movement, and function. Treatment is hands-on, tailored, and focused on understanding why a problem has developed — not just managing its symptoms.
Soft tissue therapy
Targeted muscular release techniques designed to improve circulation, reduce muscular tension, and support the body's natural healing processes.
Craniosacral therapy
A gentle hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance.
Myofascial cupping
A functional tool used to help decrease muscle soreness and improve range of motion by creating decompression through negative pressure.
Treatment methods
All techniques are applied within an osteopathic framework — selected and combined based on your individual presentation, history, and goals.
Joint mobilisation & manipulation
Precise, controlled movements applied to joints to restore optimal range of motion, reduce stiffness, and alleviate mechanical pain.
Advanced dry needling
Clinical application of fine needles into myofascial trigger points to stimulate tissue healing and provide rapid relief for acute and chronic pain.
Exercise & movement advice
Evidence-based guidance on movement and rehabilitative exercises to empower patients and sustain long-term clinical improvements.
