About Bayley – Osteopath and Strength Coach in Ringwood

Bayley Forbes, osteopath in Ringwood

I’m Bayley Forbes, the osteopath behind Summit Osteo and Performance. My journey into health and performance began through sport — first as an athlete, then as a coach, and now as a clinician. I’ve always believed that movement is medicine, and that philosophy guides everything I do in practice today.

After completing my Bachelor of Science (Osteopathy) and Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) at Victoria University, I expanded my knowledge with further training in strength and conditioning and sports coaching. Alongside my clinic work, I’ve coached swimmers, footballers, and athletes across regional and metropolitan Victoria, giving me a unique perspective on how treatment and training work best together.

At Summit Osteo and Performance, my focus is on helping people of all ages — from athletes pushing for peak performance to active adults who simply want to move without pain. I take pride in working with clients recovering from sports injuries, managing long-term pain, or returning to activity after surgery. My sessions combine hands-on osteopathy with tailored exercise programming, ensuring every client leaves with a plan that fits their goals and lifestyle.
