Luke Rickards Expands Services to Sydney CBD Osteopath Practice
Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) July 02, 2013 -- Sydney osteopath Luke Rickards, is now providing evidence-based osteopathic care in the Sydney CBD. With an already-established presence in Bondi Junction, he will now spend two days per week at the Sydney Osteopathic Medicine practice.
The move, Mr Rickards says, recognises the growing need for osteopathic care for those who work and live in the City of Sydney.
"Many people who commute each day to work in Sydney are often time-challenged." explained Mr Rickards. "By accessing our osteopath Sydney CBD services, they are able to find the pain management help they need - before and after work if necessary, or with minimal disruption to work time."
Mr Rickards believes that most employers understand that by being able to manage and relieve chronic pain, staff are more productive. So it is rare, he explained, for an employer to be inflexible regarding osteopath appointments.
Evidence Based Practice
At both Sydney Osteopathic Medicine in Bondi Junction, and now Sydney Osteopathic Medicine in the Sydney CBD, Mr Rickards employs evidence-based practices.
"Modern, comprehensive health care is continually moving towards evidence-based practice (EBP), which draws upon the best external evidence, the practitioner’s clinical experience, and consultation with the patient." explained Mr Rickards.
Specialising in chronic pain management, Mr Rickards takes a patient-centered, educational approach to care that is the hallmark of Sydney Osteopathic Medicine.
His osteopath Sydney clinic is located in Pitt Street, near Hunter Street - easily accessible by bus and from Wynyard, Town Hall, St James and Martin Place train stations.
