History
Bay Osteopathy and Injury Rehabilitation was established in late 2017. Joe and Nat had long thought about combining their friendship and business goals by establishing an Osteopathic clinic together when finally this opportunity arose in the beautiful Hervey Bay area.
They both determined that the area was in need of a new health avenue such as osteopathy as it provided a unique treatment style that was not previously offered to the community. They are both now happy to call Hervey Bay their home and are ecstatic with the community's welcome and acceptance.
