About

Our Osteopaths

Drs Melissa Ward, Robert McMahon and Anjela Tran are Registered Osteopaths who are all members of the Australian Osteopathic Association. They have extensive knowledge of the human body and are equipped with a variety of 'hands on' techniques including articulation, stretching, joint manipulation and a variety of other soft tissue modalities (including massage) to tailor treatment to your specific needs.

Clinical Pilates

Drs Melissa Ward and Robert McMahon have recently completed further studies to allow Clinical Pilates to be available at the clinic. Clinical Pilates is quite different to the pilates that is taught in gyms and in large groups, and your exercise regime is specific to you and your complaints. Clinical Pilates incorporates the use of mat exercises as well as equipment, such as a reformer and trapeze, which allow you to undertake movement specific exercises beneficial to your health.

Remedial Massage Therapy uses an array of techniques (soft tissue manipulation, muscle energy techniques, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, cupping, stretching and therapeutic exercises) to target the soft tissues structures in the body in order to improve their function and your overall health. Remedial Massage is great for treating tight and achy muscles, relieving stress and tension, and for managing and treating sporting injuries. It is also a great way to relieve stress and tension.

Myotherapy offers a more detailed and comprehensive assessment and treatment of your pain and injury and enables Kylie to better understand the 'mechanics' of your body. Myotherapists are also trained to administer dry-needling, electro-mechanical stimulation, prescriptive stretches and exercises in conjunction with the traditional massage techniques described above. Kylie's Myotherapy studies enables her treatment regime to be more than just a massage. We look forward to you discovering the wealth of benefits Remedial Massage and Myotherapy has at Back 2 Basics Health Care.
