Dr Ashlea Crupi (Osteopath / Pilates Instructor)
Ashlea combines her skills in both Osteopathy and Pilates to help her clients, using the knowledge of both for a good understanding of biomechanics and movement, and exercise prescription. She uses this to treat her clients, but to also provide them the tools to be able to help themselves.
Ashlea had her first experience with both Osteopathy and Pilates as a teenager when she sustained many injuries through playing representative basketball. This inspired her to study Osteopathy at university.
After three years of study, she decided to take leave to have a break from the intense study and studied a Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction with National Pilates Training. She found a strong link between the principles of Pilates and Osteopathy in how to help people.
She went back to university to complete her Osteopathy degree including an internship at Gateway Osteopathy, while working as a Pilates Instructor at Gateway. She has also worked at local football clubs to further her knowledge and hands-on practice.
\Ashlea is passionate about treating low back pain, headaches, knee pain and sporting injuries. She enjoys practicing Pilates and going to the gym, as well as watching AFL and cricket.
