Dr. Sarah McCahon

Originally from rural Victoria, Sarah relocated to the Northern Rivers where she graduated from Southern Cross University in Lismore with a Bachelor in Clinical Sciences and a Masters of Osteopathic Medicine.

Sarah grew up as an avid netballer and during her many years of pursuing this passion she developed an appreciation for the human body. Her own experience with injuries and rehabilitation prompted Sarah to pursue Osteopathy so she could better understand how to manage the health of her own body and to help those around her.

Sarah takes a holistic, thorough and patient-centred approach to whatever condition she is presented with in clinic. She holds particular interest in helping patients with pelvic girdle pain, neck and jaw pain, headaches, postural strains, and sport and exercise related pain.

She has always held a passion for assisting woman in the management of pregnancy related aches and pains, preparation for birth, and assisting in their recovery postpartum, which has been strengthened following the birth of her daughter.

Depending on the specific condition and individual preference Sarah uses a variety of osteopathic techniques including muscle energy techniques, joint manipulation, myofascial techniques, soft tissue therapy and balanced ligamentous tension techniques. She has further training in Myofascial Dry Needling and Cupping, and Kinesiology Taping that she draws upon when appropriate. She strongly believes in involving you in your own management outside of the clinic space whether that be with rehabilitative exercises, pain management strategies, ergonomic and overall health management advice.

Sarah will take the time to get to know you. She loves having a chat, educating you about your body, and empowering you to better manage your pain and overall health.
