Dr Jade Bennett

Jade graduated with a Bachelor of Clinical Science (Osteopathic Studies) and a Masters of Osteopathic Medicine at Southern Cross University in Lismore. During her studies, Jade worked managing the Byron Central Osteopathy clinic operations which enabled her to work alongside Jamie and Dan, giving her invaluable mentorship and insight into the industry.

Jade is registered with the Osteopathy Board Australia, Osteopathy Australia, and AHPRA.

Jade has a background in human movement science (exercise science and sports management) and spent a number of years working in events in Sydney and London. When Jade isn’t working, she enjoys getting in the surf and keeping active on the many coastal and hinterland walks in the region.

Jade believes that in order to live well, we need to be able to move well and that we should be able to move well through all decades of life. Jade’s approach to osteopathic treatment takes into consideration the whole person, including their interests and goals, and tailors their treatment to help reach these goals through hands-on treatment and education to help build self-efficacy.

Jade employs a range of osteopathic techniques with a direct, structural approach that includes soft tissue work, joint articulation and HVLA, muscle energy technique, and exercise. All of Jade’s approaches can be modified to treat the patient in front of her.

How Osteopathy Can Help You

Osteopaths treat more than you think. They focus on how your musculoskeletal system, joints, muscles, nerves, circulatory system, connective tissue, and internal organs function as a whole-body unit. Each injury is unique, so osteopathic treatment will vary from person to person.

Osteopaths assess the integrity of the problem areas, ask you questions, provide functional assessments and valid evident based orthopaedic testing to joints. This then enables a definitive diagnosis to implement a suitable treatment plan for each patient.

If further referral is necessary BCO has a vast referral network of high-quality professionals and specialists and can also refer for radiology imaging.
