Hawthorn Physio Clinic

Melanie is passionate about lifelong learning. 

• Graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of Melbourne. 
• Obtained extensive clinical experience throughout the public and private systems during her undergraduate studies and understands a wide range of client concerns.

In addition to her professional degree, Melanie has completed advanced training in multiple sports, dance, pre and postnatal specialties as well as dry needling.

Melanie has a keen interest in treating and educating clients to help individuals recover and achieve their personal health goals. She and her team creates a custom management plan to help guide you through your recovery. This could include manual therapy, working with our physiotherapists in the gym, a home-based exercise program, or potentially a referral for imaging or to another health professional to get the best outcomes for you.
