Meet your Osteo: Dr Doug Allen 👋
Osteopath at Gippy Osteo 👨‍⚕️

We are thrilled to officially welcome Dr Doug Allen to the clinic! Doug will be joining our team starting Thursday 27th of August.

Doug shares our passion for evidence-informed, patient-centered care and bringing a friendly, tailored approach to Moe and the surrounding community.

Doug’s path to osteopathy followed a lifelong involvement in high-performance sport—from playing grade cricket across Melbourne, New Zealand and England, to working in snow resorts overseas. 🌎

Having navigated his own recovery after multiple soft tissue injuries and knee reconstructions, Doug developed a deep appreciation for the body’s resilience, inspiring his career helping others return to the activities they love.

Treatment Approach: A patient-centered approach combining manual osteopathic treatment with tailored exercise rehab and education—helping you recover from injury, build long-term resilience, and regain confidence in your movement.

Doug can assist with a wide range of conditions and goals, including:
• Acute injuries & sporting rehab
• Athletes, active individuals & weekend warriors
• Chronic pain management
• Joint pain, stiffness & post-surgical rehabilitation
• Postural strain & repetitive strain injuries
• Active seniors & everyday movement goals

Outside the Clinic: Doug is a busy father of two boys who loves spending quality time with his family! These days, you’ll find Doug keeping active or unwinding on the weekend with a round of social golf with friends. ⛳

Whether you’re managing a sports injury, recovering from surgery, or looking to build strength for daily life, Doug is here to help you move and feel your best.

Ken established Gippy Osteo in January 2024 after practicing in Gippsland since 2018. Having grown up in Regional Victoria, he recognised a real need for holistic, evidence-informed musculoskeletal care in Moe and the surrounding towns.

Ken’s journey into osteopathy started early. His lifelong love for sport sparked a curiosity about human movement and injury recovery. After completing his studies at RMIT in 2017, he went on to gain extensive clinical experience treating patients in Melbourne and Gippsland, as well as a rewarding period practicing in Ireland! 🇮🇪

Treatment Approach:
Ken takes a thorough, patient-centered approach. He blends effective hands-on osteopathic care with patient education, ensuring you leave the clinic not just feeling better, but truly empowered to manage your pain and recovery.

Ken enjoys treating a wide variety of patients from all walks of life, including:
• Acute injuries & sporting rehab
• Athletes, active individuals & weekend warriors
• Chronic pain management
• Arthritis & joint stiffness
• Antenatal & post-partum care
• Paediatric care
• Postural strain & repetitive strain injuries

Outside the clinic:
Ken is a devoted dad enjoying quality time with his young family and their two energetic pugs! 🐾

To keep up with a busy household, he stays active and remains a passionate supporter of Liverpool FC and St Kilda in the AFL.

We’re excited to welcome Doug Allen, a final-year Osteopathy student from Victoria University, who will be joining Gippy Osteo for supervised clinical placement. Doug will be treating patients on Wednesdays from December 3rd, with the possibility of continuing into the New Year.

Patients can access affordable appointments while still receiving safe, high-quality care. Doug will be working semi-independently under onsite supervision, with Kenneth available if needed for support and review.

To book with Doug, give Kenneth a call or SMS on 0493 882 914

Here’s a little more from Doug:

“After Covid I decided to study Osteopathy at Victoria University, beginning this journey in 2022. I successfully completed the undergraduate degree, Bachelor of Science (Osteopathy), in 2024 and will complete a Masters of Health Science (Osteopathy) in June 2026.

Before returning to study, I worked for Australian Red Cross Lifeblood for 15 years in account management and community engagement, including 5 years working throughout Gippsland.

Being a mature-aged student, I have a wealth of life experiences behind me which helps me form connections with patients and understand the impact their symptoms can have on day-to-day life.

Outside of study I’m a married father of two boys. I played competitive cricket throughout my 20s in Melbourne and England until a knee injury forced me into retirement. These days I enjoy playing golf to stay active.”
