Dr Deanne Clare Mitchell is an osteopath based in West Perth, WA. Her practice is at 716 Murray Street, West Perth WA 6005.
Osteopathy is all about helping the body move well and feel better. Dr Mitchell looks at how muscles, joints, soft tissue, posture, and movement are working together. In many cases, people come in with aches and pains that have built up over time, or they want help after things like overuse, long days on their feet, or getting back into sport.
She focuses on musculoskeletal problems, so that can include back pain, neck pain, shoulder tightness, and stiffness in other joints. At times, symptoms can also show up as pain that feels “stuck” or movement that feels limited. Dr Mitchell aims to check what’s going on in a clear, practical way, then work out a plan that fits the person in front of her.
Appointments usually start with a physical exam. This helps her understand how you’re moving, what areas feel sore or tight, and what might be driving the problem. From there, she may use osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). OMT uses hands-on techniques to improve mobility and ease tension in muscles and joints. The goal isn’t just to reduce pain for a day or two, but to help your body recover and keep moving more comfortably.
Dr Mitchell also does osteopathic and musculoskeletal evaluations, especially when symptoms keep coming back or don’t match what you expected. She can talk through what you’re noticing in daily life, and what changes could make a difference between appointments. Sometimes that means looking at things like work posture, how you sleep, or how you move during the day.
Nutritional counselling is another part of her care. It’s not about strict diets. It’s more about simple, sensible support that can help with recovery and overall wellbeing, alongside the hands-on treatment and any movement advice given during the visit.
Dr Mitchell’s education and practice are grounded in osteopathic care, with a steady focus on day-to-day musculoskeletal treatment. Over time, she builds plans that are realistic, calm, and tailored, so treatment feels manageable and you know what to expect next.
