PRACTICE DIRECTOR & OSTEOPATH
Dr Alli Van Ommen
Dr Alli Van Ommen founded Without Limits Health in 2011 with a simple belief: the body is inherently intelligent. When given the right environment, support and understanding, it has an extraordinary capacity to adapt, recover and thrive.
Alli’s approach to osteopathy goes beyond treating symptoms. Her work focuses on helping people reconnect with how their bodies move, respond and communicate - recognising the important role of fascia, movement, load and lifestyle in shaping long-term health.
A lifelong athlete and former professional water polo player, Alli brings a deep respect for the demands we place on our bodies - from elite performance through to the everyday rhythms of life. At the heart of her work is education, empowering people with the knowledge and awareness needed to better understand and care for their bodies.
Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find Alli near the water, surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, ocean swimming or playing water polo.
“Knowledge is the key to a healthy mind, body and soul - the only limits we have are the ones we create.”
OSTEOPATH
Dr Rachel Longchar
Rachel has a strong interest in health and wellbeing and loves learning about the human body. In addition to being an osteopath, she also holds a Master of Public Health and has extensive experience working in community health, mental health and health promotion.
She is a health advocate who is dedicated to helping people from all walks of life to get back to the activities they enjoy following an injury, help those with chronic conditions to manage flareups and encourage everyone who is on a health journey to better understand their mind and body.
Rachel is passionate about empowering people to develop a better understanding of why they are experiencing discomfort, and to work with them to explore strategies and tools that would enable them to independently manage their health. Each treatment with Rachel is individualised and can incorporate a variety of osteopathic techniques, health education, exercise rehabilitation and stress management. She is also qualified to use dry needling as an adjunctive therapy.
Currently, Rachel also works as a sessional academic at Victoria University.
In her spare time, Rachel currently enjoys being in nature, swimming, reading historical fiction, playing board games, and slowly learning another language.
