This was my first visit to an Osteopath after countless visits to Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists over the years for a chronic degeneratuve disc issue in my back.
James spent to time to look at my condition and then gave me a number of simple stretches and sleeping positions that really work!
I finally feel like I have my chronic back problem under control.
Highly recommend.
I've been seeing James under a care plan over the last 3-4 weeks for lower back problems.
James has been instrumental in not only relieving the pain but also freeing up the muscles around the affected vertebrae which now allows me to walk more upright without the slouching.
I would highly recommend James.

I had my first appointment with James Morgan at Movement Matters yesterday and it was a really positive experience. James was professional, knowledgeable and took the time to properly understand what was going on with my body before starting any treatment.
What I appreciated most was how clearly he explained everything, what he was doing, why it was needed, and how it would help.
It’s obvious James genuinely cares about helping his patients and takes a thoughtful, holistic approach to treatment. If you’re looking for an osteopath who is skilled, attentive and explains things in a way that actually makes sense, I’d definitely recommend booking an appointment with him.

If you've been trying to find someone who actually listens to understand you James is the Osteopath trainer you need. He has the professional experience to put in the time to educate, treat/train and follow up with you himself. He covers everything as only a truely trained professional can. Certainly the best I've met yet. Highly recommend. Thank you James.

I have seen many Physio’s and Chiropractors over the years about my sore neck and back and James was the first to explain what was actually going on and why my current exercise routine was causing pain.
In my first treatment with James he explained to me why I kept getting re accuring pain and stiffness and showed me mobility exercises to help with this.
I have now started his exercise program and it was fantastic, all using my body weight.
I would highly recommend James.

Please note this has been edited on the basis for understanding Fibromyalgia.
I am 69 years old and have had Fibromyalgia for decades; and now arthritis as well. And earlier this year I was ill with a parasite infection that lasted 6 months.
So…when I first went to James I doubt if I could have been much weaker; and I was also in a lot of pain.
James gave me in strengthening exercises that I can do at home, as well as a set of stretches. The stretches have helped. He’s very patient and encouraging. And with Fibromyalgia one needs to feel the environment is safe.
Unfortunately the 4th session was too hard and sent me into a pain meltdown. So I would not recommend him for Fibromyalgia patients. But he did help by advising me to walk in a pool to get leg strength. And I continue to do the six stretches he recommended. Nice guy.
Not for me. Shirley W.

I was referred to James Morgan, Osteopath, by my GP. It was very good advice. He has helped me in so many ways. At age 91 that is exactly what I needed. Could not be happier.

If you’re looking for someone who looks at the big picture, see James at Movement Matters. I wanted a program that wasn't just a quick fix but a holistic, gradual way to improve my strength and flexibility as I get older. James is a top guy - ultra-professional and incredibly knowledgeable. He really takes the time to ensure the program is sustainable and effective. Can't recommend him enough!

Having previously seen physiotherapists and a chiropracter, Dr James was the first therapist to make a difference to a stiff and sore neck. I left my first appointment happy with an improved movement range and a clever set of simple home stretching exercises. I’m very happy anticipating strength-building gym sessions with James to help me get back to the gym, after one more ‘neck rectification’ appointment. Highly recommend this caring, skilled practitioner!
Reply from Movement Matters Osteopathy - Mermaid Waters2026.02.05

I’m pleased to hear you noticed improved neck movement after your first appointment and that the home exercises felt clear and manageable. As a Gold Coast osteopath, my focus is on helping people better understand their condition and progress with appropriate movement and exercise in a safe, structured way.
Thank you for your trust, and I look forward to continuing to support your recovery and return to the gym.
Kind regards,
