Nathan Switkowski

Osteopath

Nathan’s journey into Osteopathy began in Melbourne's North East suburbs, where as a young athlete playing high-level basketball and football, he experienced firsthand the transformative power of Osteopathic treatment in overcoming debilitating lower back pain. Inspired by his own recovery, Nathan embarked on a path to study Osteopathy, driven by a desire to help others in managing pain and reaching their full potential.

Nathan is an experienced Osteopath with a passion for helping his patients achieve optimal health and wellness. He emphasises clear and personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs. He believes in educating patients about their musculoskeletal conditions and encouraging them to actively participate in their recovery journey. Nathan prescribes rehabilitation programs that include strengthening and stretching exercises alongside manual therapy techniques, ensuring effective results.

Nathan's professional journey includes valuable experience as a sports trainer at the Western Bulldogs Football Club, where he honed his expertise in treating acute musculoskeletal injuries. While at the club, he was fortunate to be involved in the 2016 AFL and VFL premierships. Continuing his professional development, Nathan has expanded his skill set with certifications in dry needling, myofascial cupping and pilates. He has also completed courses on tendon injuries and is actively involved in the mentoring program at CHH.

Outside of work, Nathan enjoys staying active at the local gym and playing competitive basketball. He has been lucky enough to have done lots of travel, most recently spending 5 weeks in Europe! He loves trying out new cafes for a delicious coffee and is regularly cheering on his beloved Doggies on the weekend. His life is soon to be very different, Nathan and his partner are eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child and is welcoming any parental advice from his patients!
