Physiotherapist
Special interest in neurological conditions and manual therapy
Hey, I'm a passionate Physiotherapist who Graduated in 2024, with special interest in neurological and manual therapy rehabilitation- I also offer dry needling services! I truely love working with people of all ages and find great joy in helping them move, feel and live better.
I'm very hands-on in my approach and strongly believe that good manual therapy can make a real difference in recovery and overall wellbeing. I'm also a big empath at heart.
I genuinely care about my clients and aim to create a supportive space where they feel understood and empowered throughout their journey.
Outside of work, I'm a big lover of travelling and always excited to explore new places and experiences . Looking ahead, I hope to keep growing in my profession and one day achieve my dream of becoming a Doctor.
Shyna Deo
Physiotherapist
Special interest in stroke/neuro conditions and injury rehab
Hey! I'm a dedicated Physiotherapist who graduated in 2023 with a deep passion for promoting health and wellbeing. With hands on experience in treating a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck issues and neurological conditions, I combine both manual therapy and advanced machine based treatment to provide comprehensive care.
I believe strongly in the power of Will; a persons mindset is key to overcoming health challenges.
I don't believe any health professional, no matter how good, can help clients make lasting change if they aren't willing to help themselves.
When I'm not helping others achieve their best health, I enjoy watching movies and exercising... Yes - health is very important to me!
David Horvath
Senior Physiotherapist
Hello hello! I've been treating Melton locals for over 25 years. I graduated from Melbourne and Latrobe Universities in 1991 with degrees in Science and Physiotherapy. Prior to Melton Physiotherapy, I worked in Florida US which scratched my travel itch.
I returned to Australia in 1994 and bought the original practice in Melton on High Street in 1995. Come 2000, I built the current clinic on Coburns road where I am still practising and helping the 2nd and 3rd generations of my clients.
As an ex elite sportsman, I understand the importance and demands of effective recovery. I've got over 30 years of experience treating all conditions from simple strains and sprains to multi-trauma post-surgical rehabilitation.
I've got a beautiful wife, two grown children and recently became a grandfather. I'm an avid cyclist, although much slower than what I used to be. I am currently also an Officer in the Australian Air Force Cadets and a board director of a prominent western private school for the last 18 years.
