Amber Garrett

Osteopath

Amber graduated from Victoria University with a Bachelor of Science (Osteopathy) and a Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) after originally studying Science and Engineering at Monash University. She is also a qualified Pilates instructor with a Cert IV in Fitness.

Amber grew up in northern Victoria and completed her schooling in Melbourne. After studying Science/Engineering straight out of school and working for a period, she realised she did not enjoy the profession and wanted to work more with people. Her love of Pilates led her to become an instructor. While working at a studio with an Osteopath on-site, she discovered Osteopathy when she sought treatment following a flair up of her lower back. This was the life-changing event that altered the course of her career.

Having suffered from lower back pain since childhood and numerous netball injuries, Amber knows the importance of all aspects of treatment, especially those affecting long-term outcomes. Many of her rehabilitation exercises will have a Pilates flavour to them, which she also used for herself with her back pain following pregnancy.

Amber is a friendly, empathetic person who believes Osteopathy should look at every aspect of a patient to understand them and their condition. Her engineering background helps with her problem-solving skills to find the cause of the problem, not just treat the symptoms. She uses this to develop the best treatment plan for her patients and work with them to help them achieve their goals.

Several injuries from playing netball piqued her interest in treating hip, knee, ankle and foot pain and injuries, as well as lower back pain, neck pain, headaches, issues with ribs and breathing, as well as core strengthening. She does this by using education and rehabilitation as well as hands-on techniques, both direct (such as mobilisation, stretching and massage) and indirect (e.g. balanced ligamentous tension, indirect myofascial release) for those who prefer a gentle treatment approach.

Amber is a mum to two young kids who keep her busy when she’s not at work. She is an avid sports lover and often doesn’t know what to do with herself between footy and cricket seasons. When she does find a few moments, she likes to listen to podcasts, particularly comedy, sport and history. Also, coffee is life!
