Dr Mina Philips is an osteopath based in Upwey, VIC. You can find the practice at 1 Main Street, Upwey VIC 3158.
Dr Philips looks after people with everyday aches and pains, especially when the problem is in the muscles, joints, or back. Many patients come in after their pain has hung around for weeks, or when movement starts to feel stiff and uncomfortable. At times, it can also be related to how someone sits, works, lifts, or gets through their usual routine.
The appointments usually start with a musculoskeletal exam. This helps work out what might be going on, and where the strain or stiffness seems to be. From there, treatment can include osteopathic manipulative treatment, with the aim of improving how the body moves and feels.
Back pain management is a big part of the work. That might include checking how the spine and surrounding areas are coping, and then using hands-on treatment when it’s appropriate. Joint pain evaluation is also part of the service, so if shoulders, hips, knees, or other joints are playing up, the focus is on understanding the pattern and what makes it better or worse.
Dr Philips also works to help people manage symptoms day to day. That can mean looking at what triggers flare-ups, how you’re moving day to day, and what to do to support recovery and keep things steady over time. In many cases, it’s not just about the hands-on work, but about making the plan fit real life.
