Mel is the senior Myotherapist and Remedial Massage Therapist.
She loves to help people with chronic pain and heightened pain sensitivity. She's spent years developing a gentle myofascial approach that works for conditions like fibromyalgia and other long term pain conditions. She loves to study and research so that she can be your translator for all things pain related - she loves finding easy ways to explain what you're experiencing in non-medical words, without making you feel worried or freaked out! Mel is available most days Monday-Saturday. |

He's currently upgrading to his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy at RMIT, as well as completing his qualifications in Clinical Pilates. Duke is available Sundays. |

Follow our Facebook page to catch some of Perry's jokes! Sorry, you can't book an appointment just with Perry, but you can definitely take a selfie and tag us on social media!! |

As a full time working mum that’s on my feet 10 hours a day in a physical job seeing Mel once a fortnight has definitely improved my physical mobility!
Irene
I have been suffering from chronic neck and shoulder pain for a while now and she is the only person that gives me some relief.
Rebecca
Both treatments that I have received in Dukes care have consisted of thorough consultation paired with an amazing treatment and my new favourite take home exercises!
Sue
I'd highly recommend Mel if you're in pain. Great remedial massage, communication and helpful tips on how to reduce/manage pain at home/work. She's helped a lot with my ongoing shoulder, foot and elbow tendon troubles.
Laura
Duke was knowledgeable and shared some really great insights into stability work for my ankles and knees, posture correction and lifestyle changes.
Gabrielle
Literally 5 hours after my session with Mel, I was able to sit at my desk for the first time in 2 weeks. Mel was attentive, I felt heard and she was incredibly patient with me.
Lalita
I had a one hour session with Duke. After the session, I felt less tension and stiffness in my neck and shoulders and found I was far more relaxed in general. I would highly recommend making an appointment with Duke if you need a massage, his service and treatment were amazing.
Ann
Mel is knowledgeable and professional with great understanding of complex pain and treatment options.
Danielle
Mel H has been SO amazing with helping treat and relieve pain caused my my ongoing disc issues at C5 & C6. She has treated me on a number of occasions when I have been in a really bad way - with practically no movement in my neck and acute pain. In one treatment she manages to provide me so much relief, more than any other therapist I've ever been to (and I have tried lots of different styles and practitioners over the past 15 years).
Natalie
Mel was fantastic and worked with me to fix a niggling back problem. She was thorough and took the time to really understand my triggers and found what my back responded to best.
