Bendigo Osteo Team

Dr Lesley Likens has recently joined the Bendigo Osteo team, having obtained her Masters of Osteopathy from Victoria University in Melbourne.

Lesley’s approach involves a combination of direct and indirect treatment methods to treat areas of dysfunction and calm down the nervous system response. She couples this with providing education around propensity for injury and empowering active involvement in successful recovery.

Lesley enjoys working with a wide variety of everyday people, regardless of age or profession. Manual trader, professional desk jockey, new parent or newly retired, Lesley will help you understand how aspects of your lifestyle, both in your home and work life, may be predisposing you to fatigue and injury.

Lesley will work with you to learn to recognise your body’s niggling whispers before they become all out screams, arming you with a plan of attack using osteopathic treatment, general physical activity advice and targeted strengthening.

In addition to her formal osteopathic training, Lesley has undergone further studies in remedial massage, myofascial and trigger point cupping, dry needling, and manual lymphatic drainage techniques.

Outside of osteopathy, Lesley enjoys distance trail running, playing the piano and spending time with her two children.

Lesley provides treatment on Mondays and Fridays at the clinic.
