DR LAURA MARIANI (OSTEOPATH)

Laura graduated from Victoria University with a Bachelor of Science (Clinical Science) and Masters of Health Science in Osteopathy. Her love of sport and fascination for the potential of the human body led her to a career in Osteopathy. 

Laura grew up locally in Burwood and has been affiliated with many sporting clubs around Forest Hill. She has had several years experience in dance, swimming and netball and takes great interest in gym based health and fitness. Her extensive sporting background enables her to have a deeper understanding of the human body and its biomechanics. She also has a particular interest in treating neck and low back pain, including that of our ageing population.  

She is an extremely passionate and enthusiastic Osteopath and enjoys treating patients of all ages. She is a firm believer of holistic health care and uses a wide range of treatment techniques, rehabilitation and education to develop management plans for her patients. 

Laura has also undertaken further studies in dry needling and pilates and uses it to complement her other Osteopathic techniques. 

She is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.
