Stewart Roffe
Stewart completed his qualifications at the Victoria University, with a Bachelor of Science and
Master of Health Science (Osteopathy).
Stewart’s journey for providing health and wellness started after completing a Remedial Massage
degree, where he developed a passion and excitement for providing care and improving a patient’s
well-being. Stewart was able to treat a wide-variety of patients, from gym-goers to office workers,
but found his specialty in working with musicians, where he was able to work with the Melbourne
Symphony Orchestra and students at the Victorian College of the Arts.
Stewart’s passion for osteopathy stems from its ability to encompass and assess a person holistically,
identify the root cause of an issue and not just its symptoms, and then to provide hands-on therapy
through osteopathic techniques including soft tissue massage, stretching, joint mobilisations and
manipulations, to provide the best outcomes possible.
When Stewart is not in the clinic, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends, strength and
conditioning training, and spending time in the outdoors.
