Meet 'Osteopath Pat'
When Pat's not treating or furthering his Osteopathic skills, you'll most likely see him whizzing past you on his morning run, paddling his stand up paddle board or volunteering as a lifeguard for the Avoca Beach Surf Club
'Osteopath Pat' is a confessed fitness and health fanatic, but is balanced enough to understand life still needs to be enjoyed. Health and wellbeing supplies most his zest for life, but indulging from time to time is what also builds a more fulfilled and well lived lifestyle. Like osteopathy, balance is the key to a long and healthy life.
