Shane Ricketts, MSc (Osteopathy)
Shane Ricketts is an experienced osteopath with over 20 years in practice, dedicated to
providing personalised, patient-centred care. He holds a Master’s degree in Osteopathy from
Victoria University in Melbourne, where he developed a strong foundation in anatomy,
physiology, and osteopathic technique.
Shane takes a holistic approach, carefully listening to each patient, thoroughly assessing their
concerns, and creating tailored treatment plans that address the root cause of pain and
dysfunction. His goal is not only to relieve symptoms and improve mobility, but also to
empower patients through education and practical self-care strategies.
He utilises a range of gentle osteopathic techniques, with a strong focus on cranial and
biodynamic osteopathy to support nervous system function and the body’s natural healing
processes. Shane has trained and worked alongside leading osteopaths in Australia and New
Zealand, including at Stillpoint Osteopathic Centre in Auckland.
He has a special interest in treating babies and children, as well as adults with headaches,
migraines, TMJ dysfunction, post-concussion and stress-related conditions.
Outside the clinic, Shane enjoys teaching Qigong and meditation, cooking, movies, tramping,
and spending time with friends.
