Matt was drawn to osteopathy after positive experiences as a patient during his teens where he became fascinated by this holistic approach to healthcare. After finishing his study at Victoria University, he has gone on to practice at multiple clinics in Melbourne’s west. He enjoys treating a range of conditions including neck, back, shoulder and knee complaints and has further accreditation in dry needling and myofascial cupping.
You can expect a manual, hands on approach to treatment when you see Matt. He believes that all patients should leave a treatment feeling different than when the walked in! Treatments are always tailored to what you require. He will also equip you with the education, advice and tools you need to understand and manage your own condition away from the clinic.
Matt grew up in Gisborne but moved to Melbourne to study and has been here ever since. He has always played sports including football and basketball and loves all things outdoors. He is also, unfortunately, a long-suffering Carlton fan.
