Dr Nicole Cukierman

BSc.MHSc (Osteo)

Since graduating in 2013 from a five-year combined Bachelor and Masters in Osteopathy I have worked in clinics around Melbourne’s East treating the whole family, managing acute and chronic complaints in newborns, children, athletes, desk workers, tradespeople, perinatal women and elderly patients. Through this experience, I identified my passion for treating babies, children and women during and after pregnancy. This passion led to me working at one of the leading natural medicine fertility clinics in Melbourne where I focused on treating pre and post-natal patients and their newborns

Inspired to study Osteopathy due to its holistic approach, my sporting background and innate disposition to help others, I am passionate about promoting health and well-being. I pride myself in treating every patient as an individual, providing a welcoming space for them to talk as I identify the primary cause of their complaint and then formulate an individualised treatment plan to restore optimal health.

My thirst for knowledge has led me to complete additional training locally, interstate and internationally in paediatrics, pregnancy, pelvic health, abdominal visceral manipulation, dry needling, myofascial cupping, biodynamics, cranial and tendinopathy. Comprehensive training in pregnancy and pelvic health has provided extensive understanding of the anatomical, physiological and biomechanical changes that occur during each stage of pregnancy, labour and after giving birth. This has equipped me with the skill-set to treat related conditions including, pelvic girdle pain, pre and postnatal care, labour preparation, pelvic organ prolapse, bowel bladder conditions including leakage, urgency and constipation, pain associated with intimacy, coccyx pain, mastitis and other breastfeeding conditions.

Trained by international professionals, I am experienced in treating paediatric conditions such as reflux, digestive issues, irritability, torticollis, plagiocephaly and other various skeletal restrictions presenting after birth.

Using appropriate treatment, patient education, lifestyle advice and rehabilitation, I focus on returning individuals to good health, achieving their goals and enjoying everyday activities.

I am available at the clinic on Monday and Fridays!

positive step towards a healthier way of living for you and the whole family.
