We’re a vibrant team of dedicated professionals passionate about helping your child reach their full athletic potential.

Our mission? To transform healthcare from something daunting to delightful, ensuring every child’s journey is sprinkled with giggles, high-fives, and a whole lot of learning. But make no mistake, while we’ve got our fun game on, we also bring to the table a wealth of professional expertise, honed by years of experience and our commitment to athletic excellence.

Dr Jarryd Barrett, one of our stellar osteopaths, was a former Little Athletics state competitor for 11 long years! His journey from an enthusiastic young sprinter to a dedicated osteopath provides a unique touch to our clinic. Every athlete who walks through our doors benefits from his personal understanding of their experiences, on and off the field.

At Western Region Health, we don’t just focus on treating injuries; we champion the cause of prevention, education, and performance optimisation. We equip our young athletes with knowledge- from the right running technique to the best pre-race preparations, we’ve got it covered!
