The treatment approach of Dr. Anthony Dileo (Osteopath) is based on patient need and comfort level and he has experience in accessing a wide range of different ways to help people. He will always ask you what you are comfortable with and treat you accordingly. It includes:

In 2006, Anthony gained valuable experience working alongside another osteopath as a clinician throughout Europe and.... despite this he still can't speak Italian well. He now finds himself enjoying more time with a young family and less time playing guitar poorly. He enjoys what country Victoria offers finding the most obscure towns he can go to with his family. He enjoys handy tips on keeping indoor plants alive and will take on board any recommendations for the hidden gems of Melbourne's live music scene which keeps him in touch with his youth.
