This little bubba had his first chiropractic check at just 2 days old.

Mum of three delivered this beautiful bubba, and in the days after birth she noticed he was favouring one side of his neck and shoulder, which made feeding on one side more difficult.

Trusting her instincts, she brought him in for a gentle assessment to check how his little body was moving and whether there was any tension contributing to that preference.

Sometimes babies show us subtle signs through their movement, feeding, or head preference. Early checks can help assess how they’re adapting after birth and support them in getting the best start.

Meet Dr Melvin, one of our senior chiropractors and our most studious practitioner.

Melvin has a genuine passion for learning and is always expanding his knowledge. You’ll often find him attending chiropractic seminars, reading the latest public health research, or studying for further examinations such as the GAMSAT.

For Melvin, staying curious and continuing to learn is an important part of being a healthcare professional. Keeping up to date with current research and education helps him bring a thoughtful, informed approach to the care he provides.

Outside the clinic, Melvin loves the country side and is a big animal lover (especially dogs, cats and horses). He has spent half his life in Hong Kong and the other half in Australia, and has lived across much of Victoria.

We’re lucky to have his dedication, experience and knowledge as part of the team.

Does your child have a flat spot on their head?

At our clinic we can assess and measure your baby’s head shape to help monitor any changes over time.

Some families choose gentle cranial work as part of their child’s care. If further support is needed, we can also help guide you towards appropriate referral options.

If you have concerns about your child’s head shape, an assessment can help you understand your options and support your child’s development.

Pregnant mummas, we’ve got you.

Growing a tiny human is special, and to do so the female body undergoes a lot of change. Research suggests pregnancy bodywork may help support comfort during pregnancy, including easing muscle tension and reducing lower back and pelvic discomfort as posture and load change.

Featuring our clinic favourite: the pregnancy pillow that lets you finally lie comfortably while our practitioners support your body during this beautiful stage.

If you’re looking for support during your pregnancy, Dr Yvette and Dr Tonilee are here to help.

Dr. Melvin’s goal is simple — to help you move and feel better, don’t wait until you’re in a lot of pain 🙌🏼

He knows that when you’re dealing with something like a disc injury or a muscle spasm, it can really slow you down. That’s why he focuses on gentle, evidence-informed chiropractic care to support your recovery and get you back to doing what you love.

Research shows that many Australians seek chiropractic care for musculoskeletal issues such as back pain and disc-related discomfort — and many report improvements in mobility and overall wellbeing. 💪🏽

If you’re looking for someone who listens, cares, and works with you to find the right approach for your body, Dr. Melvin’s your guy.

Our take on this…
Rehab is forever. Feeling good isn’t luck—it’s the result of consistent maintenance. The exercises, the mobility, the adjustments, the habits. When you commit to the process, your body rewards you. Don’t stop just because it feels better. That’s when it’s working 👏🏽💪🏽

Recently in practice, we have noticed an influx of people coming in for calf tightness. Maybe it’s because the Melbourne Marathon event has just taken place and everyone has taken up running, or maybe it’s because summer is just around the corner and people are becoming more active. Or is it because our nervous systems are in fight or flight mode, ready to flee?

Either way, here are our three go-to exercises that we have been giving our patients:

1. Double Leg Eccentric Calf Raise over a step: 2 seconds up, 5 seconds down, 3 sets of 6 reps (strengthening the muscle in the lengthened position).
2. Downward Dog, pedalling your feet down: 3 sets of 12 reps (dynamic stretch).
3. Bunny Hops: 3 sets of 30 seconds to a metronome at 160-180 BPM (the Achilles tendon loves spring).

If you would like more information on how to perform these exercises or on rehabilitation, please don’t hesitate to ask our friendly and knowledgeable team! :)
