Dr Nicholas Jordanovski
Osteopath
About
Nicholas Jordanovski is a dedicated osteopath with a strong passion for sports,
rehabilitation, and evidence-based patient care. With a background in competitive soccer and extensive experience working within sporting environments, Nicholas understands the physical demands placed on the body and the importance of injury prevention, recovery, and performance optimisation.
Throughout his clinical training and professional experience, Nicholas has worked with a wide variety of patients across different healthcare and sporting settings. His placements at the RMIT Health Clinic, Assisi Aged Care, and the Northern Bullants VFL program have provided valuable hands-on experience in assessing, diagnosing, and managing a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions across different age groups and activity levels.
In addition to his clinical placements, Nicholas has gained practical experience working
within elite and community sporting environments through his roles with Preston Lions Football Club and Stirling Macedonia Football Club. These experiences have strengthened his understanding of sports-related injuries, rehabilitation, athletic performance, and return-to-play management, while further developing his ability to work collaboratively within
multidisciplinary teams.
Clinical Approach
Nicholas Jordanovski takes a practical and patient-focused approach to osteopathic care, with an emphasis on helping people move better, recover from injury, and return to the activities that matter most to them.
His approach to treatment is built around understanding the individual as a whole, rather than simply treating symptoms in isolation. Nicholas works to identify the contributing factors behind pain or dysfunction, including movement habits, strength deficits, mobility limitations, training loads, and lifestyle demands. This allows treatment plans to be tailored specifically to each patient and their goals.
Nicholas incorporates a combination of hands-on osteopathic treatment, movement-based rehabilitation, and exercise prescription to support recovery and improve overall function. He has a strong interest in musculoskeletal injuries, sporting injuries, mobility restrictions, lower back pain, and rehabilitation-focused care, with treatment designed to not only reduce discomfort but also improve confidence and resilience in movement.
Shockwave therapy may also be included as part of Nicholas’ treatment approach when clinically appropriate, particularly for ongoing tendon injuries and chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, patellar tendinopathy, and tennis elbow. When combined with rehabilitation and exercise-based care, shockwave therapy can help stimulate healing, improve tissue function, reduce pain, and assist recovery in injuries that have become persistent or difficult to resolve.
A strong believer in patient education, Nicholas values clear communication and ensuring patients understand their condition, treatment plan, and recovery process. He believes longterm results are best achieved when patients are actively involved in their rehabilitation and supported with realistic strategies that fit their lifestyle and activity levels.
Nicholas is committed to ongoing professional development and continually expanding his knowledge of modern rehabilitation principles, exercise-based care, and evidence-informed treatment approaches to provide the highest quality care possible.
Specialist Areas
Nicholas is an osteopath with specialist interest in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, working with both active individuals and the general population. His clinical focus includes knee pain, ankle injuries, lower back pain, and sports-related injuries, with a treatment philosophy centred on identifying the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than managing symptoms alone. By integrating osteopathic treatment with rehabilitation and movement-based care, Nicholas works to improve function, reduce injury recurrence, and support long-term physical performance.
Nicholas has developed particular expertise in knee and ankle injuries common in running and field-based sports. Conditions he regularly assesses and treats include ankle sprains, Achilles tendon pain, patellofemoral pain syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, ligament injuries, muscular strains, and movement-related knee pain. His assessments evaluate strength, balance, mobility, running mechanics, and lower limb control to identify factors contributing to ongoing symptoms or overload.
Treatment typically combines hands-on osteopathic care, movement retraining, exercise prescription, mobility work, and progressive strength-based rehabilitation to restore stability, movement efficiency, and confidence during activity and sport.
Lower back pain is one of the most common and significant conditions Nicholas treats in practice. He manages a broad range of presentations, from acute muscular strains and sudden-onset back pain through to persistent or recurrent low back pain affecting everyday function, work, training, and sport. Nicholas recognises that lower back pain is rarely caused by a single factor, and takes a comprehensive approach to address contributing elements including posture, movement patterns, strength deficits, workload, mobility restrictions, and lifestyle demands — helping patients achieve lasting relief rather than short-term symptom management.
