Your Trusted Alternative Medicine Provider in Melbourne
As the founder of Total Health Osteo, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals achieve holistic wellness through integrated therapies. My journey began in 1995 after completing a decade of full-time study in osteopathy, naturopathy, and traditional Chinese acupuncture. Over the years, I have combined clinical practice with education, lecturing at RMIT and Victoria University while maintaining a private clinic in Melbourne. My approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, focusing on restoring natural balance to promote healing. I have authored two books on health and wellness, including a best-selling homeopathy coloring textbook, and developed the Dr Mike Soul Series seminars to educate the public on visualization techniques for health manifestation.My practice specializes in treating musculoskeletal pain, digestive health, and preventive care through personalized treatment plans. With extensive experience in manual therapies, nutritional support, and acupuncture, I prioritize patient education and empowerment. My commitment to total health extends beyond clinical work, incorporating lifestyle guidance and community education to foster long-term wellness. The clinics philosophy centers on addressing root causes rather than symptoms, ensuring each patient receives comprehensive, individualized care. This dedication to holistic healing has established the practice as a trusted resource for natural health solutions in Melbourne.

Osteopathy
Osteopathy addresses musculoskeletal pain through hands-on techniques including soft tissue massage, joint mobilization, and trigger point therapy. This approach improves posture, relieves tension, and enhances mobility by treating the body's structural imbalances. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans targeting specific conditions like back pain, sports injuries, and repetitive strain disorders.
Naturopathy
Naturopathy focuses on restoring health through natural interventions like dietary adjustments, vitamin supplementation, and herbal medicine. This holistic approach addresses digestive health, immune function, and systemic imbalances by supporting the body's innate healing capacity. Treatment plans emphasize nutritional optimization and lifestyle modifications for long-term wellness outcomes.
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture uses fine needles at specific meridian points to regulate energy flow and promote healing. This evidence-based practice addresses chronic pain, stress management, and internal health conditions by restoring physiological balance. Treatments follow classical diagnostic principles tailored to individual patient needs.
Detox Programs
Detoxification programs focus on improving gut health and immune function through dietary protocols and targeted supplementation. These structured plans address digestive imbalances and environmental toxin exposure to enhance overall vitality. Patients receive guidance on sustainable lifestyle changes for maintaining detoxification benefits.

These interactive sessions teach practical tools for stress reduction, goal setting, and personal development.
