About Port Macquarie Osteopathic Centre
Port Macquarie Osteopathic Centre was established in 1989 by John Norman, at that time the only osteopathic clinic in Port Macquarie, originally located in Clarence Street.
​
We have moved to our present location where we have four consulting rooms. The Centre is on the edge of the CBD, with ample parking at the rear and pleasant, leafy surroundings. We are a family friendly clinic, treating several generations of the same family, from school children to the elderly. Our patients are from all walks of life: from the sedentary office worker through to the active sports person.​
​
Following the requirements of a government registration with the Osteopathy Board of Australia and Australian Osteopathic Association membership, Port Macquarie Osteopathic Centre​'s practitioners ensure continual professional development and high standards of professional conduct.
