Izabela treats and helps her patients manage pain related conditions such as headaches, jaw pain and TMJ syndrome, neck and back pain (including sciatica), occupational and postural muscular strains or joint sprains, arthritis and sport injuries.

Since completing her Master of Osteopathy degree in 2002 Izabela has worked extensively in clinical practice. Her focus in recent years has been  on complex pain conditions including inflammatory arthritis  (such as rheumatoid arthritis, connective tissue and lupus disorders), chronic pain, and migraines. She has completed further education in pregnancy related pain, lymphatic conditions including lymphoedema and lipoedema management.

Izabela has a passion for patient education and making sure you gain further understanding of the condition and its short or long term management strategies.

Outside of direct clinical practice, Izabela was involved in osteopathic tertiary education at Western Sydney University between 2004 and 2009, and has completed a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education (Learning and Teaching).

The rest of Izabela’s time is spent mothering 3 teenage children, tending an ever extending garden bed of Dahlias, listening to podcasts or audiobooks, evaluating YouTube Yoga, drinking tea, and trying to sleep in whenever she can.

Izabela is a founding osteopath of The Osteopathy Clinic.
