Illawong Osteo started in 2014. Dr Luke Madden started his first practice with his wife Dr Melinda Madden in Miranda in 2009. They then expanded their practice to another location that had more rooms and could help more people in the Sutherland Shire community. This also allowed them to bring on team members of both the osteopathic profession and other professions including Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Remedial Massage, Acupuncture, Clinical Pilates & Clinical Psychology.

After noticing a a number of new patients were coming to Miranda from Menai, Illawong, Bangor, Barden Ridge & Alfords Point, Luke decided to explore the option of opening another clinic closer to Menai (where he and his family lived at the time). After meeting with a few practice owners, Luke decided to open up Illawong Osteo based out of Healthplus Illawong Medical Centre so that he could both service the community here and also collaborate with the medical team at the Doctors surgery.

Within 4 weeks of opening, Dr Luke and his team were packed with patients seeing what new techniques were offered and a different methodology to back pain and other musculoskeletal dysfunctions that presented to them daily. Illawong already had a physiotherapy practice and it was great to see a different style of treatment that was entirely hands on and took into account each patients entire health map. Dr Luke and his team focus on the larger picture of health. This moves beyond signs and symptoms of pathology and into overall health and wellbeing.

In 2021, it was decided that Illawong Osteo needed new premises. After seeking out new space, Menai became the ultimate location for a number of reasons. It was central to 2234 and also allowed us to expand our services and build what we decided was the ultimate health and wellness clinic in the area. The space has been custom designed to include 3 treatment rooms, an Infrared Sauna room and a Reformer Pilates Studio. In October 2021, Illawong Osteo rebranded to

KT Health & Wellness and the rest as they say, is history.
