The Health Formula - Osteopathy & Functional Medicine Clinic

Rick is an absolute health sleuth! I was in a pretty desperate situation with my health when I signed up to his Health Reset (lite). I didn't know who could help me at that point.

I had no idea what to eat, what not to eat, I was clearly reactive to many foods but I didn't know which ones (or why). I thought my diet was pretty good but after getting my test results, Rick was able to help me navigate a new diet.

After being ultra compliant on my diet and supplementary protocol my symptoms slowly started to subside and in 9 weeks I'm almost completely healed. I need to focus on gut healing ongoing and it's not a quick fix but Rick has helped set my course and he is great at taking loads of data and giving you a summary and a starting point. His Health Reset program is very supportive to help you make changes in your lifestyle and diet.

I loved his videos explaining my personal test results - he really does love test results and he loves to help. I will no doubt continue to see Rick over many years to check how my health markers change over time - another great aspect of his approach. Thanks Rick!

After struggling with some health issues, I knew I needed to find a well educated functional medicine practitioner – someone to get to the root causes of my issues. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Rick Davids at The Health Formula. During the 12 week reset program we went back to basics with diet and supplements and within a few short weeks I noticed positive changes – I was getting better! Rick has so much knowledge to share and I was so thankful for his time as I always had questions he was happy to answer! Rick walks you through the processes of the program easily, step by step and is armed with so much additional information for you to read and have as a reference point. This program was the best investment I had ever made for my health. Thank you Rick.

Highly recommend Rick, he has a holistic approach and managed to sort my neck problem quicker than I thought possible.

Rick was fantastic highly recommend, fixed my injury in my hamstring and then focused on my whole body/back and released pain and stiffness

Great place, Dr Rick is very knowledgable and was able to fix up my lower back issues quickly. Highly recommend.

Dr Rick is a fantastic, very knowledgeable practitioner. Wonderful warm mannerisms and effective at what he does. Highly recommend. Thank you Rick!

After reaching the point of needing a change for overall better health and lifestyle earlier this year, I undertook the 12 week Health Reset with Dr Rick Davids. I can honestly say I have never felt better. My energy is up, my moods are levelled and most of all I am not constantly getting sick anymore! The Health Reset program along with Rick’s thorough guidance, arms you with the tools to be able to live a better life.

I was recommended to see Dr Rick Davids after 6 weeks of agonising back pain, which was misdiagnosed. I could not vouch for his services more. He was highly professional, very throughly explaining the treatment and provided a great deal of knowledge and reassurance. The clinic was also very welcoming and calm environment, with my appointments always on time. So thankful for Rick and would definitely reccomend to anyone looking for an osteopath.

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now but at the same time I have been quietly waiting to see whether I could maintain my results. I have, and I am so bloody happy. For years I have suffered from IBS symptoms, and then I stumbled across the Healthy Formula. Thank god. Rick is an absolute professional and his knowledge will blow your mind! I am delighted and can highly recommend.

After around 12 years of dealing with gut issues from IBS and seeing doctor after doctor, specialists, naturopaths, dietitians, then tests including, x-rays, ultrasounds, colonoscopies etc and being told it’s ‘just’ IBS and to follow a Fodmap diet for the rest of my life. I decided enough is enough. I heard about Functional Medicine Practitioners and sought to find one in Victoria. After reviewing the ones available I decided on Rick Davids. And I certainly hit the jackpot. From the first appointment it was obvious Rick knew his stuff and throughout the whole Reset Program he provided me with so much knowledge that I didn’t really have many questions as he already provided all the answers! After numerous tests I followed his protocol and have come out so much better. And even if I relapse down the track, he has given me the tools to be able to get back on track again. You can do the tests and seek help from local GPs, but they don’t know how to interpret the tests and provide the protocol to alleviate the symptoms. So, if you have suffered like me for years, I highly recommend seeing Dr Rick Davids as you won’t regret it. It will be the best money you ever spent to get your health back again. I am eternally grateful for his professionalism, support and guidance.

So glad I found this place! Such a welcoming atmosphere with expertise and kind demeanour. Fist time after overcoming being chronically ill & I already feel great. Thank you Rick ️

My experience with Rick Davids at The Health Formula has been top class.

Not only is Rick an extremely kind and caring practioner, but his knowledge, follow up and professionalism are first rate. The help and knowledge he has provided me during what has been a rather difficult time, has been highly effective and I plan on continuing to work with him in the future.

If you have been having no luck sorting out your health issues then I highly recommend a visit to see Rick.he's absolutely fabulous!

Dr Rick Davids has my highest recommendation! I was seeing a chiro for almost one year before I made the switch to him. After only three appointments, my back is feeling better than ever! What sets him apart is that he takes an all round approach, using different methods to treat the problem.

He is also genuinely a lovely and down to earth person, which is a bonus!

I am super grateful and will definitely be back if I have any issues in the future.

The whole family (including young children) goes to see Rick, who helps us keep a balanced body and provides holistic advice when needed.
My kids love it, me too. I recommend Rick without any reservation!

I have been a patient of Rick Davids, Osteopath since mid 2020. As I have aged I have been finding that I am more tense than I had been in my youth. I often find my shoulders rigid, my hands molded into a fist and my jaws clenched. Covid and lockdown exacerbated my stress levels causing me to live in constant pain. A kind friend recommended Rick to me and I am forever appreciative.
I have tried other therapies in the past and have found that osteopaths have a more well rounded outlook to joint and muscle pain relief. Notwithstanding Rick is a genuinely caring and personable therapist who is devoted to my well-being. I have been seeing Rick regularly since and am grateful for the relief he has offered my weary muscles. My experience with him has been most satisfying and I always look forward to my appointments.

Rick was wonderful, gentle and patient and he really listened to me and reassured me. He was able to quickly identify my problems and assist to relieve the pain. I would highly recommend him.

I’ve been treated by Rick and Michelle for a number of injuries. I’m always impressed with the time they take to assess the injury and understand what has happened. They get great results with minimal intervention. I think its largely due to their approach of treating the whole person, including lifestyle and diet, not just the site of the injury.

I completed Dr Rick's Health Reset Program recently and I can't stop raving about it. I invested in the program to help with my hormones, mental health, weight and menstruation issues. The program helped dissolve these issues or at the very least minimised them significantly. The program was completely customised to me through various tests so I never felt like I was getting a text book approach. It never felt restrictive, very doable with the most wonderful results. Dr Rick was incredibly responsive, supportive and knowledgeable. I have to say investing in the program was the most self-loving thing I've ever done. Thanks Dr Rick for your expertise and the program!

The treatment and care I've received from Dr Rick Davids at The Health Formula has more than met my expectations. I found the clinic when I was looking for help with chronic migraine. I was looking reduce the frequency and severity of the migraines rather than just taking medication. Through a combination of osteo on my neck and functional blood analysis, he's been able to reduce the frequency dramatically. In addition, he's identified some postural issues which contribute and I'm about to undertake some food sensitivity testing to see if there are potential food triggers. My treatment is a journey because migraine is complicated. Dr Rick uses his training and experience to explore a wide range of options which, together, have definitely improved my quality of life. On top of that, he's a really nice guy:) Thanks Rick!
