About Peninsula Osteopaths

The Road to a Healthier You

Peninsula Osteopaths was founded by Gabriel Bedford in 2005. As the first and only Osteopath in Thames, Gabriel extended his Osteopathy expertise throughout the Coromandel Peninsula before being joined by Tolly and Natalie.

Today we provide comprehensive osteopathic services that support and foster the health of our clients and the community. We offer a variety of treatments to improve and help you maintain your optimal health and wellness.

We love working with clients from all walks of life who all share the common goal of bettering their mind, body, and overall health. Whether you are experiencing pain or simply want to improve your mobility, Peninsula Osteopaths provides the resources to do so in a healing and friendly environment.

We use multiple treatment modalities. This includes a variety of Osteopathic Techniques such as Joint Manipulation, Soft Tissue work, Cranial and Visceral Osteopathy. Where appropriate we also use Shockwave Therapy to enhance your treatment outcomes to shorten to the Injury to Recovery Journey.

Peninsula Osteopaths have dedicated over 18 years to this field. We cover the entire Coromandel Peninsula with clinics in Thames, Coromandel town and Whitianga. <br
