Our Osteopaths

Melanie completed her Osteopathic degree at Victoria University in 2005. An interest in the human body and a fate filled interaction at RMIT University sparked her interest in this field of allied health care and she hasn’t looked back.

Melanie enjoys the complexity of the human body and how each part integrates with the next. She loves the challenge in finding which areas are contributing to your pain and works hard to correct any dysfunction in order to achieve optimal movement and function.

Melanie is always learning and looking for new ways to improve and get better results for her patients. She has completed courses in Dry Needling and Clinical Pilates as well as furthering her education in obstetrics, functional movement and chronic pain.

Chronic pain is something she has become increasingly interested in over the years. Addressing the internal and external factors that contribute and educating patients on this condition has become new passion of hers and she would love to expand on this in the future.

You will often find Melanie running around after her 3 children, who you may see around the clinic from time to time. She works Monday to Thursday.
