Dr Themos Gourlas

Osteopath

I began studying Osteopathy in 1998 after some earlier studies in Mathematics and Finance at the University of Technology Sydney, after realising that helping people offered me so much satisfaction and enjoyment.

My interest developed quickly in how biomechanical pain and symptoms affected a patient’s experience and pain. Following this, I became more interested in low back pain, sports injuries, and biomechanics of the foot leading to postural syndromes.

I treat patients with either acute or chronic pain and any of the vast number of musculoskeletal complaints. I know my limitations and love working with others to ensure my patients get the most effective care for their complaints.

Utilising a strong science/evidence-based approach allows me to provide the most accurate and relevant information possible at the time of consultation. I always try to use an integrative approach, which ensures better patient outcomes and holistic management.

My interest in how mechanical foot problems cause pain led me to become trained and qualified in the prescription of custom orthotics using the Gait Scan system. The Gait Scan is an effective way to accurately measure the foot whilst moving and create exact innersoles for shoes if necessary.

Also in 2013, I completed my study in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and deep state re-patterning, furthering my passion and interest in human behaviour, choice, and positive psychology. I use these techniques consistently to provide patients with a more effective strategy for dealing with their presenting complaints.

In 2015 I furthered my education and skill set around behaviour and modern psychology, completing my training in Clinical Hypnosis and I now combine hypnotherapy with NLP, to provide patients with quick and effective behavioural change.

Combining both NLP and Hypnosis has led me to develop the Fast Logic Program. For more information visit the website, Fastlogic.com.au

I have successfully opened and operated two allied health clinics in Sydney, (Bankstown Health and St George Health) with teams of up to 15 practitioners. After years of running practices, I have decided to step back and focus on doing what I love the most. Helping YOU!

With over 18 years of clinical experience and over 35,000 appointments in my hands, I’d love the opportunity to get you back to your best.

If you are suffering from pain, then I would love to help.
