Dr Austin Rizzardo – Osteopath
Austin is a passionate Osteopath who graduated from Victoria University with a Bachelor
and Masters in Osteopathy.
He first discovered Osteopathy through a frustrating string of recurrent knee and shoulder
injuries as a teenager. Through the holistic approach of Osteopathy, Austin continues to play
competitive football without pain.

Austin has a keen interest but not limited to acute and chronic neck, low back, shoulder and
sporting related injuries. He has experience in and enjoys working with goal minded
individuals of all ages and interests, using hands on treatment, education, and tailored
rehabilitation to provide a goal centred management plan for long term results.
He is an avid sports enthusiast, personable character and loves interacting and bouncing
jokes off anyone who will listen. Austin is always looking to upskill and provide that newfound
knowledge and experience onto his patients. Furthermore, he has completed a Myofascial
needling and cupping course to add to his current skill set.
Austin is an upbeat and optimistic person with an unrelenting desire to help people. Outside
of Osteopathy you’ll find Austin playing or discussing sport, sifting out a bar/café, going to
the beach or hoping the Essendon Football club wins a premiership in the near future.
