Collaborators

As of April 2026, I am now working from a stunning new location at 60 Ligar Street in Bairnsdale CBD alongside other professionals. Below is a little bit about them!

Dr. Sharon Banks - Founder of Twin Rivers Osteopathy

Dr Sharon Banks is an experienced and dedicated osteopath who completed her Master’s degree at the University College of Osteopathy in Central London in 2014. She opened Twin Rivers Osteopathy in July 2023 and provides high-quality, patient-centred osteopathic care.

Sharon offers a comprehensive range of treatments, including osteopathy, dry needling (medical acupuncture), sports therapy, massage therapy and Clinical Rehabilitation Pilates.

She has a strong focus on treating musculoskeletal pain, back and neck pain, sports injuries, postural issues, and chronic conditions. Her approach is based on manual therapy techniques, holistic care, and tailored treatment—helping patients improve mobility, reduce pain, and support long-term health and wellbeing.

With a lifelong passion for medical science and the human body, Sharon was drawn to osteopathy for its whole-body, evidence-based approach. She considers physical, environmental, and lifestyle factors to deliver accurate diagnosis and effective, personalised treatment plans. Her goal is to help patients move better, feel stronger, and return to doing what they love.

Before becoming an osteopath, Sharon had a professional background in ballet. Following her dance career, she travelled extensively through Europe before settling in Dahab, Egypt, on the Red Sea. There, she spent seven years teaching scuba diving and running a sports therapy practice, treating athletes such as windsurfers, scuba divers, and yoga practitioners. During this time, she achieved her Advanced Trimix certification and completed deep dives to 100 metres in the world-famous Blue Hole.

Today, Sharon combines her diverse clinical experience with a strong understanding of movement, performance, and rehabilitation. She enjoys working with people of all ages—from office workers with postural strain to athletes recovering from injury.
