Meet Empower Osteopath Matthew

Matthew joined Empower’s Home Care Team in Melbourne this year after working in private practice and residential aged care since graduating in 2017.

Why did you choose this career?

I feel that I was destined to work as an Osteo in Home Care and community settings. It’s just the perfect job for me.

What are your strengths as an Osteo?

I’m good listener and as a result can construct a good overview of a person’s health. I see my client’s holistically and can diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions using manual skills, exercise and functional activities.

What motivates you?

Treating my clients in their homes is so rewarding to assist them in achieving the goals that will make the greatest difference in their daily lives. Seeing them smile when they have managed to do something that they couldn’t before, makes my day.

What is something you would tell your younger self about your work if you could?

Osteopathy is second nature to you. Stick to the path, don’t hesitate and you will be rewarded.

Is there a quote that you use to explain the work you do?

The goal of the Osteopath is to find health.
