Helen Frederikson

Osteopath and Clinical Pilates Instructor

Helen is an experienced and thoughtful practitioner who strives to get to the root cause of her patients complaints and to help guide them to achieve their recovery goals through both hands on treatment and exercise rehabilitation.

Helen enjoys treating every type of patient who walks in the door, from workplace complaints, to sports injuries and pregnancy, through to the elderly but has a particular passion for treating those suffering from chronic pain conditions, women’s health conditions, headaches, migraines, vertigo and orofacial pain. Helen strongly believes in patient education and in providing appropriate tools to patients to enable them to manage their condition on their own.

Helen was drawn to a career in osteopathy in her 20s after struggling with headaches, neck pain and jaw pain following a whiplash injury as a teenager.  Helen graduated from Unitec in Auckland, New Zealand in 2014 with a Bachelor of applied science degree and a Masters of Osteopathy.  She chose to complete her masters qualification in osteopathic treatment for orofacial pain due to her own personal experience and has found this to be of great value when treating patients with similar complaints.  She spent time working in a headache and migraine clinic and is trained in the Watson Headache approach which is designed for those suffering from chronic headaches and migraines.

Helen is a friendly and enthusiastic Osteopath who finds great joy in helping others.  Originally from New Zealand, Helen has made Melbourne her home and lives in Bayside with her two young children.

Helen treats on a Tuesday afternoon and Friday as well as teaching our Clinical Exercise classes on a Friday morning.
