Welcome to Metro Osteopathy.
An Osteopathic clinic with an unrelenting desire to help you optimise your health.
Dr. Austin Rizzardo
Austin is the founder, director and Osteopath at Metro Osteopathy. He graduated from Victoria University with a Bachelor and Masters in Osteopathy and routinely engages with yearly professional development to pass that knowledge onto his clients.
Austin’s approach to assisting a client would be described as refreshingly honest, thorough, evidence based, clear and realistic. Austin prides himself on treating and supporting the person and not the diagnosis which is what he believes separates him from many other allied health clinics and practitioners.
Austin facilitates this success through evidence based care, hands on treatment, education, adjunctive therapies where required and tailored rehabilitation to provide a goal centred management plan for long term results.
Austin has a keen interest but not limited to treating and managing the following;
- Acute & Chronic low back pain;
- Acute & chronic neck pain;
- Workplace induced injuries;
- Knee & Hip pain;
- Shoulder complaints;
- Sporting injuries;
- Muscular & Joint sprains & strains.
Austin is an avid sports enthusiast, personable character and loves interacting and bouncing jokes off anyone who will listen. He has also completed a Myofascial needling and cupping course to add to his current skill set.
Austin is an upbeat and optimistic person with an unrelenting desire to help people. Outside of Osteopathy you’ll find him playing or discussing sport, sifting out a bar/café, going to the beach or hoping the Essendon Football club wins a premiership in the near future.
