New Practitioner Announcement | Harley Place Health, Bondi Junction

We are super excited to welcome a new practitioner to Harley Place Health, with Osteopath Jerome Smith joining us this week.

Jerome is an extremely accomplished practitioner. He is the only osteopath that we know of in Sydney who has completed the FIFA sports medicine diploma. This gives him a unique ability to diagnose injuries and develop comprehensive rehabilitation plans. The data FIFA collects is huge, from professional sportspeople all over the world, and this data informs the guidelines they recommend around management, resulting in best evidence treatment for you!

Jerome is from the UK, where he first worked with professional footballers and premier league men and women. He moved to Canberra for a few years, working in a multi-disciplinary clinic alongside physiotherapists. His time there further developed his treatment skills and taught him about how to really get to the root causes of injuries, and addressing these root causes gives you the best chance of preventing future injuries!

To make a booking or learn more about Jerome, check out our booking page and Jerome’s profile page. And if you have any questions feel free to email us harleyplacehealth@gmail.com
