HEALTH FUND ACCREDITED

Meet the Collingwood team members:

Matthew Alexander

Matthew is obsessed. He knows his stuff, and he loves it. From a long history of personal injuries & frustration at not getting results from health care professionals, Matthew became determined to fill in the blanks, and unlock the key to eliminating pain. With a background in performing & circus arts, yoga, running and cycling, he has gleaned a clear understanding of what the body needs to be 100% regardless of whether you need to sit comfortably at a desk all day for work, do triple pirouettes 10m's up or just something vaguely in between.

Matthew's specialty area is the '10 year lower back', migraines and headaches, knee & shoulder rehabilitation.
'You need balance, you need strength, you need to reclaim control of your body. This does not involve 2 days of pain relief, 10 exercises daily, and the felling you're paying for someone's yacht just trying to get a little bit of relief.' .

Daniel Rodgers

Daniel specialises in eradicating pain in patients when all other modalities have failed. Back Pain and Shoulder pain are Daniel's specialities, however he has fantastic results treating all kinds of pain and dysfunction throughout the body using the same wholistic approach to treatment. Pain and dysfunction is only present when there are imbalances. Restoring symmetry to the human body will insure correct functioning is restored and pain eradicated. Daniel carries this process out through deep tissue treatment and myofacial release. In more chronic cases, symmetry is restored through a combination of hands on treatment and strengthening exercises that address the cause of the pain not just the symptoms.

Daniel has a sports background in Australian Rules Football, Rugby and Basketball. Roles other than working in clinic include working with the AFL team Western Bulldogs, A-League Soccer Team Melbourne Heart and working with International athletes.

Moyan has a special interest in deep tissue treatment that eradicates chronic headaches, shoulder pain and SIJ dysfunction. However she is specialised in reducing pain and muscular dysfunction throughout all soft tissue within the body and combines thorough anatomical knowledge and intuition to ensure she conducts the highest of quality treatments.

Brooke is extremely passionate about staying active, carrying out a healthy lifestyle and is inspired by helping others to achieve the same benefits.
