Clients say.....

  • “Since the online session I've been using the self-care techniques every day. Not only do they help physically relieve pain, but also I’m giving attention to my body in calming, conscious and intentional ways, which really helps to relieve stress and feel nurtured.”

    Meg K.

  • “I've used (a different therapy) for years, but after a 30min virtual session with Janine I experienced instant effective pain relief to support me at home and work. I'm thinking about pain relief in a completely different way now. Thank you Janine."

    Lisa H.

  • “Before seeing Janine I was suffering from strong period pain every month. I was delighted by the immediate results of her gentle work…..and I can now enjoy pain-free cycles!”

    Marie G.

  • “My 15 yr old daughter suffered terribly with her period - unbearable pain, vomiting & mood swings and she missed days of school. She has now had three periods since her first session with Janine and the results are amazing – all her symptoms have disappeared. As she puts it ‘this is magic’!”

    Annette B.

  • "At 35 weeks of pregnancy I was suffering excruciating sciatica & lower back pain which I'd had for 10+yrs but it was far worse now. After 4 sessions and home exercises all symptoms cleared up entirely; my back was better than it was before pregnancy. To say I'm delighted to be pain free is an understatement. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Janine to anyone with similar symptoms."

    Alicia H.

  • "Never I would imagine that the pain can be removed painlessly. If anybody would tell me this, I would not believe it. The sciatica pain was incredible, I was desperate! It was only that my son was helped by you and recommended it that made me try it. I am very, very happy and incredibly grateful to you."

    Zosia K.

  • "I'm feeling amazing. I just can't believe the difference in only 2 sessions. Thank you so much!"

    Michaela B.

  • "Can’t thank you enough Janine for your help. After my knee operation you got me off my crutches in a day and returned my balance."

    Jacques C.

  • "From my experience I highly recommend Janine's Ortho-Bionomy practice. I have experienced incredible relief from excruciating, chronic pain."

    Joanne R.

  • "I had plantar fasciitis and anything I tried seemed to ease the pain for a short period but I wanted it to heal. Janine's work was transformative. My feet are heaps better. I didn't think this day would come! So good. Thank you. "

    Kate P.

  • "After a major accident I saw a lot of different specialists and practitioners but Janine provided the most useful support I received in my recovery. The whiplash injury has over time resolved with Janine’s gentle care. I can't recommend her highly enough."

    Jo K.

  • "My 10 month-old daughter was dragging her right leg as she crawled around, pushing off the floor with her left foot. Just 24 hours after a single session with Janine she started crawling normally and the leg dragging disappeared totally, never to be seen again. I was extremely impressed with Janine's gentle technique, her calm and reassuring manner and her thorough knowledge and understanding of her profession."

    Karen W.

  • "I had significantly improved movement and flexibility in my back, and a dramatic reduction in pain and discomfort after only a few sessions."

    Holly R.

  • " had an inflamed, very sore wrist. Janine's treatment was gentle, relaxing and outstandingly successful. I came out of the session walking on air."

    Peter D.

  • "The online session was really effective, it released the neck and shoulder pain and my headache went away. I felt so much better. I'm so happy that I can still work with Janine now that I've moved out of Melbourne. I plan to do regular online sessions to manage my headaches, yay!"

    Sophie B.

  • "I booked an online session with Janine when I had pain in my lower back and shoulders. The session was very helpful and I have had less pain and better posture since, despite working at the computer for hours each day."

    Mégane A.

  • "Thanks so much, Janine! Yesterday’s online session was super helpful AND I had a full night’s sleep for the first time in weeks."

    Holly R.

  • "I have had plantar fasciitis for nearly 12 months, going to physio and podiatrist with not much improvement. After one session with Janine I can step straight out of bed without pain and walk my dogs pain free."
