Bachelor of Health Science / Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy)
If Alyssa looks familiar, you may have met her at the Williamstown Health + Lifestyle front desk. What you might not know is that she has also spent the past three years practising as a qualified osteopath and treating patients across Melbourne.
Alongside her role at WHL, Alyssa works at Middle Park Osteopathic Clinic, where she has worked alongside experienced osteopath Damien Guengerich, a former President of Osteopathy Australia with an extensive professional background in sports-related care.
Alyssa’s passion for osteopathy grew from her own experiences in athletics, acrobatics and netball. Having experienced sporting injuries herself, she understands how frustrating it can be when pain affects work, training and the activities people enjoy.
Alyssa believes in taking the time to understand each patient’s individual presentation, lifestyle and goals. Her approach combines careful assessment, hands-on osteopathic treatment, education and rehabilitation strategies where appropriate.
