Lana has always been interested in the human body, and participated in a lot of sporting activities through her teens. Lana became drawn to osteopathy because of its holistic nature and hands-on approach.
While studying osteopathy, Lana participated in volunteer work in aged care, where she was able to learn about the elderly demographic and build connections with those in the community. Lana also worked as a sports trainer for Coburg Districts Football Club, where she gained valuable skills in assessment, treatment and acute injury management.
Lana worked as an osteopath in the busy coastal town of Barwon Heads, and has experience seeing a variety of different patient complaints. She understands the value in knowing the full story behind your complaint, and is able to form a management plan to achieve your short term and long term goals. Lana utilises hands on therapy such as soft tissue massage, joint articulation, manipulation and dry needling, as well as education, advice and exercise management to get you back to pain free activity/work.
Lana has a keen interest in treating low back pain, postural and neck related pain and ankle injuries. She also has an interest in women’s health – with experience treating pregnant and post natal patients. Because of this, Lana has undertaken further personal development in understanding how to treat through pregnancy, as well as in pelvic health.
When she’s not working as an osteopath, you’ll find Lana either at the gym, at local footy games on Saturdays, or trying to find the next trendy brunch spot to have a warm soy chai.
