Dr Brett Findlay is an osteopath based in Upwey, in Melbourne’s east. You can find the practice at 1 Main Street, Upwey VIC 3158. He focuses on helping people when the body is feeling stiff, sore, or not moving the way it should.
Osteopathy is a hands-on style of care that looks at how the muscles, joints, and movement work together. In many cases, visits start with a musculoskeletal exam. This is where the main problem area is worked out, along with what’s causing it and what might be making it worse. For some people, it’s an ongoing niggle that never fully settles. For others, it’s a flare-up after sitting, lifting, sport, or a busy day at work.
Dr Findlay offers manipulative therapy and joint adjustments, which are used to help improve movement and ease pain. The care is usually about calming things down first, then helping the body move more smoothly. Back pain treatment is a key part of the work, but it also covers aches and strains across the back, hips, shoulders, and other areas where joint and muscle strain can build up over time.
Sessions are practical and grounded. The aim is to make things feel clearer and easier to manage, not just to get a quick fix. Over time, treatment can also link in with simple advice around daily habits and how to stay comfortable between appointments. That may include guidance on posture, movement, and how to avoid the things that tend to trigger symptoms.
Dr Findlay has completed osteopathy training to support this style of work. He stays focused on safe, hands-on care for everyday musculoskeletal problems, and he looks after people who want help with real life pain, not complicated wording or rushed appointments.
