Meet Our New Osteopath, Dr. Milan

We are excited to welcome Dr. Milan Smith, our newest Osteopath. Milan has relocated from Victoria and is now available to treat patients at both our Springwood and Oxenford clinics.

 

In addition to Osteopathy and being a life long student, Milan loves immersing herself in creative arts such as music (especially guitar) and arts, and can whip up a pretty good watercolour painting. Milan keeps herself fit and healthy through functional training and swimming. When she is not in the clinic, she is likely flanked by her dog Macey.

 

Professionally, Milan is passionate about helping others using Osteopathy. She has a great ability to provide a safe space where people feel comfortable to begin their journey to managing their pain and ultimately, healing. She is fascinated by the complexity of the human body and enjoys deepening her understanding of human anatomy and physiology in practice on a daily basis.

 

“Being an osteopath is more than a job to me, it's a commitment to continual growth, a journey to relieve pain, and an exploration of the incredible capabilities of the human body”

 

Milan uses osteopathic techniques such as HVLA manipulation, gentle articulation, muscle energy technique, soft tissue massage and stretching to relieve pain and restore optimal function of the musculoskeletal system. She uses lifestyle advice and exercise management to reduce the risk of recurrence and address any contributing factors to the injury or symptoms.

 

Milan aims to empower the patient to feel in control of their pain. She has a special interest in supporting people who are suffering the effects of chronic stress by supporting their nervous system. She also enjoys working with patients with sports injuries to get them back to sport and movement faster and with more confidence.

 

Milan gets clear on the goals of the patient and works with the patient to support their body in getting them where they want to be, which could be anything from getting their shoes on pain free in the morning, to running in the next half marathon. She likes to help her patients understand pain and their body and to provide the patient with resources and tools to take control of their own health.
