Dr Robert John Demaio is an Osteopath based in East Perth, WA. His clinic is at L 1, 87 Brown Street, East Perth WA 6004.
Osteopathy is about looking at how your body moves and how that can affect how you feel day to day. Dr Demaio focuses on physical exams first, then uses osteopathic manipulative treatment to help with pain and stiffness. In many cases, that means paying attention to the way joints, muscles and soft tissue are working together, not just the one spot that hurts.
People come in with musculoskeletal pain for all sorts of reasons. It can be linked to day-to-day strain, long hours at a desk, sports, lifting, or just the wear and tear that builds up over time. Some patients notice tightness through the back, neck or hips. Others deal with joint ache, reduced movement, or that “stuck” feeling that makes it hard to turn, reach or get comfortable.
Dr Demaio also offers musculoskeletal pain management. This can include practical advice about movement and daily habits, along with care plans that fit around how busy life can be. At times, simple changes can make a difference, like pacing activity, improving posture, or adjusting how you recover after getting sore.
Alongside hands-on treatment, nutritional counselling is part of the support offered at the practice. It’s not about strict diets or complicated rules. Instead, it’s more about everyday food choices that can support your overall health, recovery and how your body copes with stress.
The goal is usually pretty straightforward: help you feel better and move more easily. Each appointment starts with a careful physical exam, then Dr Demaio works out what might be going on and what to try next. If things need follow-up, the plan can be adjusted based on how you’re travelling.
