Mel Simon
Hi! I'm Mel, I'm the CEO and Senior Clinical Myotherapist. Welcome to my clinic! I love to help people with chronic pain and heightened pain sensitivity, including conditions like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, TMJ and jaw pain, and Multiple Sclerosis. I've spent years developing a gentle myofascial approach that works well for sensitive nervous systems and long term pain conditions. I love to study and research so that I can be your translator for all things pain related - I love finding easy ways to explain what you're experiencing in non-medical words, without making you feel worried or freaked out! I am flat out against the "No Pain, No Gain" mentality, and my patients find huge shifts in pain and symptoms through a gentle approach that works with the body and nervous system, not against it. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I am currently accepting a limited number of new patients. I have an exceptional team of therapists who work collaboratively with me. My wonderful practitioners bring a variety of techniques and experience. Allow me to introduce you to them: |

Amy
Spent some time with a few different therapists here Peter, Luke and Mel. Such lovely people, very knowledgeable and approachable. Always walk out feeling fresh and relaxed. Perfect for if you have sports injuries, chronic pain etc. Lachlan Had a bad shoulder injury a few years ago and have struggled with persistent neck/back issues since then. In just three sessions Duke has gone above and beyond to help me in my recovery and I haven't felt this good in such a long time. Shirley I have been seeing Duke for last couple of months, and cannot rate him highly enough. His professionalism and knowledge of the problem I've been having with hips & shoulders have been amazing. Pam Mel is a magician, I've had multiple sessions with her where she has taken away chronic pain completely, when I had thought it only had the capacity to be reduced and managed. Phoebe 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! |
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. 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. |
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. |
