Osteocare: Blending traditional wisdom with modern healing for today’s lifestyle

Osteocare, a pioneer in holistic health solutions, merges the traditional Chinese art of “tit tar” bone setting with modern therapeutic techniques. Founded by Sifu Erik Leong in 2000, Osteocare began as a vision for a community health centre that would evolve alongside the demands of contemporary life. Today, it serves a wide array of patients—from sports enthusiasts and office professionals to international visitors—offering non-surgical, integrative treatment options tailored to each individual’s needs.

The Founder’s Legacy: From Martial Arts Champion to Healing Visionary

The journey of Osteocare’s founder, Sifu Erik Leong, is deeply rooted in a family legacy of martial arts, lion dance and healing (tit tar). Raised in a household where martial arts were a way of life, Sifu Erik’s father, Grand Master Lawrence Leong, instilled in him a profound respect for the art. Growing up, Sifu Erik not only excelled in martial arts but also in the traditional healing practices associated with it, eventually becoming a national champion in Wushu and a multi-medalist in the SEA Games.

Sifu Erik’s early training as a healer came through hands-on experience under his father, his mother, and later, the renowned Grandmaster Tan Pak. After honing his skills in traditional tit tar, Sifu Erik expanded his knowledge formally at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), studying Biomechanics and Human Movement. This blend of Eastern and Western knowledge—including Shiatsu, Thai Wat Poh, Kinesiology, and Chinese techniques like cupping—would later become the foundation for Osteocare’s diverse therapeutic offerings.

Osteocare’s Approach: An Inclusive Philosophy of Healing

Osteocare’s guiding principle is rooted in the belief that healing is a dynamic and ongoing learning process. Sifu Erik’s willingness to break away from traditional, exclusive apprenticeship models has allowed Osteocare to evolve as an inclusive space where patients can receive personalised, integrative care. His openness is exemplified in Osteocare’s approach, which incorporates traditional Chinese bone-setting techniques alongside modern diagnostic tools such as X-rays and MRIs.

At Osteocare, treatment plans are uniquely crafted to address both immediate injuries and long-term wellness. Rather than focusing solely on isolated issues, Osteocare’s team considers the whole body, applying knowledge from multiple disciplines to provide a comprehensive healing experience. This philosophy ensures that Osteocare remains adaptable to the unique needs of every patient.

The School of Bone Setting: Sharing Knowledge Across Borders

To perpetuate Osteocare’s healing philosophy, Sifu Erik founded the School of Bone Setting International, a government-recognised institution with international affiliations. In collaboration with renowned colleges such as Western Australia University, Warnborough College UK and Lincoln University College, the school trains students in bone setting and holistic health up to advanced diploma levels. Alumni from the school now practice worldwide, spreading Osteocare’s influence and creating a network of skilled healers across Asia, Australia, the United States, and Europe.

Osteocare’s Services: Tailored Solutions for a Modern World

Osteocare has established itself as a health resource that addresses a range of conditions brought on by active and sedentary lifestyles alike. The centre’s treatments focus on providing relief from joints dislocation, bone fractures, sprained ankle, sports injuries, car accident-related whiplash, and chronic pains like stiff necks and backaches caused by prolonged desk work. To meet the varied needs of its patients, Osteocare employs a sizeable team of therapists, each personally trained by Sifu Erik. Many practitioners hold additional qualifications in fields such as physiotherapy and acupressure, adding to the centre’s wide range of expertise.

One of Osteocare’s most popular offerings is its proprietary wellness and alignment program, which Sifu Erik developed to help patients maintain overall musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain. Designed to improve body alignment and flexibility, this preventive treatment caters to those seeking long-term well-being rather than episodic care.

From Local Hub to Global Reputation

Osteocare’s reputation as a reliable healing centre has extended far beyond its community roots. Patients now come from around the globe, with visitors from five continents, as well as athletes and high-profile clients. Osteocare is also a trusted partner for local and national sports teams, where athletes rely on its expertise for recovery and injury prevention.

With its commitment to holistic healing and continuous innovation, Osteocare has become a pillar of health in the community and beyond. As modern lifestyles continue to shift, Osteocare remains steadfast in its mission: to be a trusted health partner, balancing time-tested traditions with the latest advancements in healing.
