Mr Mark Goetjes is an osteopath based in Ballina, NSW. He works from 92 Tamar Street, Ballina NSW 2478, where the focus stays on practical, hands-on care. If you’ve been dealing with aches and stiffness, or you’re just not moving as freely as you used to, osteopathy can be a helpful option.
As an osteopath, Mark looks at the way your muscles, joints, and spine work together. Pain often shows up in one spot, but the cause can be linked to how you move day to day, how you sit or stand, or how your body has adapted after an injury. Over time, small things can build up. In many cases, treatment helps you feel looser and move easier again.
In the clinic, Mark provides spinal adjustments, muscle manipulation, joint mobilization, and soft tissue therapy. These treatments are used to support the areas that are feeling tight, sore, or out of balance. Some people come in with back or neck discomfort. Others notice pain around the shoulders, hips, knees, or along the muscles that support those joints. Everyone’s body is different, so the approach is based around what’s going on for you at the time.
Mark’s style is calm and down to earth. He aims to make sure you understand what the treatment is doing and why it might help. At times, that can also mean looking at how your routine affects your body, like work posture, getting through a busy week, or using the same movements over and over. The goal isn’t just short-term relief. It’s also about helping you recover your movement and support your body so things don’t keep coming back.
If you’re in the Ballina area and want to book an appointment, you can visit Mark at 92 Tamar Street. For anyone who’s been trying to push through pain, or who feels like their body has “stiffened up” over time, an osteopathy consult may be a good place to start.
