Welcome to Beaches Osteopathic Centre
Dr Tony Tranfield
Osteopath
Sometimes when you are in pain, it can be difficult to know who you should see, the choices can be confusing and it is natural to be fixated on ‘the problem’ and not see the bigger picture.
It is easy to see pain as ‘the problem’, but in most cases pain is ‘the symptom’ that has motivated you to seek help.
So before we get into the details of the ‘What’ of your concern, we need to know your ‘Why‘
We want to know what has brought you to this point, and what inspires you, so that we can build a process with you that aids you in your recovery journey.
Change takes effort and it takes a method. Often we find that it is uncertainty and a lack of a clear path that is the real road block to recovery.
Our Purpose
is to empower you with an understanding of your problem, to instill the habits to prevent it returning, and to give you the skills to maintain your own better health in the future.
While your focus is with your problem, ours is with getting you to move with greater efficiency and awareness.
We build all our recovery programs with this philosophy in mind. They are as much an education process, as they are therapy process.
‘The buzz’ we get is in helping you to participate more fully in your life.

Our Method
Before embarking on a rehabiltation program, we want to have as accurate diagnosis as humanly possible and as accurate assessment as possible during rehabilitation so that we know that you are on the right track.
We use a tool called ‘Computeried Posturography‘ which gives us definitive metrics that we can use to design a treatment plan for you and assess your progress during treatment.

Discover Your Natural Posture
‘I know I have bad posture’ is the single most common phrase we hear when someone consults us for back pain, neck pain or headaches.
But what is bad posture? We all have preconceptions of what our posture should be, but rarely does it match what it actually is.
Posture is not about how we position ourselves, it’s about balance. It’s the ability to manage the tensions placed on our body by the effects of gravity in any given moment, by shifting our weight in the most efficient manner.
We have a postural system that is designed to balance us, hold us upright, and control our movement, and when it starts to fail we lose spinal support which eventually leads to chronic pain.
Our Perfect Posture Program has been developed from twenty-five years rehabilitation of chronic lower back pain, and from ten years of postural analysis to retrain your postural system.
Join Us For An Introduction to the Perfect Posture Program
On the first Wednesday evening of every month, we run an hour long class where we teach the fundamentals of posture.
It's a FREE CLASS where we explain what posture is, and why it is fundamental to moving well, maintaining good balance and preventing yourself from getting back pain.
This is a knowledge evening not an information evening. By that we mean that by the end of the evening you will have the experience of your natural posture in your body, not just in your head.
These classes are informal and in small groups. Bookings are essential.
