Danny is a Doctor of Osteopathy with a rich career of over 25 years in academia and clinical practice. He was trained at the British School of Osteopathy (BSO), the largest and oldest osteopathic school in the UK. Danny lectured and tutored here for ten years and was spokesman for the British Osteopathic Association (BOA) for 3 years. He was an external examiner for the London School of Osteopathy and was one of only two Consultant Osteopaths at London’s prestigious Portland Hospital. 

He lectured at the European College of Osteopathy, the Brazilian School of Osteopathy and Victoria University, Australia, where he sits on the Osteopathic Programme advisory committee and continues to lecture.

After moving to Melbourne in 2010 with his family, he established South Yarra Osteopathy. He thrives on keeping up to date with the latest MSK research, which he passes on to his associates and mentees who attend his mentoring programme. He identified the need for an engaging digital service that helps diagnose MSK issues and provide MSK ‘do’s and don’ts’ to prevent injury and an over-reliance on healthcare professionals. This is how the concept of MDx was born.

Daniel graduated from RMIT University with a Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy). His interest in the human body started 10 years earlier when he qualified as a masseur and Personal Trainer. 

Daniel manages acute or chronic sports injuries, postural strains, back aches, neck aches, headaches, joint pain and various tendinopathies. He has also seen results relating to energy deficiency, sleep inconsistency, stress and anxiety management and difficulty concentrating. Daniel has developed a true passion for health and fitness coaching, minimising pain, and restoring function.

Growing up as an elite gymnast was the inspiration for Melanie’s path into becoming an Osteopath. Working as a gymnastics coach and sports trainer for over 10 years provided her with invaluable knowledge of the human body. Melanie has also completed a degree in Health Science, where she majored in Public Health. 

While completing her Masters in Osteopathy, she worked alongside leading knee and shoulder surgeons in India, which fuelled her growing interest in chronic injury management. Melanie has a strong passion for bringing relief to women with pregnancy related musculoskeletal complaints. 

Additionally, she has completed certifications in Dry Needling and continuously aims to expand her repertoire by attending seminars and obtaining best evidence-based practice.
