Dr. James Gillard BSc(ClinSci) MHSc(Osteo) CFMP
James is an experienced Osteopath who is passionate about holistic and preventative health.
In addition to his osteopathic education, James has completed a certification in Functional Medicine (CFMP). Using a combination of osteopathic manual therapy and Functional medicine helps him to identify the root cause of chronic complaints and address them in a holistic manner. He finds this particularly effective for problems such as migraines, arthritis (including rheumatoid and psoriatic), and chronic low back pain.
James has also completed postgraduate study in paediatrics and cranial osteopathy and loves to work with and support infant growth and development, particularly, mechanical feeding difficulties (including tongue tie management). He works closely with other health professionals including lactation consultants to provide multidisciplinary care to little humans.
Away from the clinic, James is an aspiring vegetable gardener, cricketer and a part time musician.
However he is most content when surrounded by nature (without shoes where possible) and spending quality time with his wife, son and cheeky border collie Alby.
James is currently practicing out of Mandala Wellness and Anglesea Osteopathic Clinic
