Docklands Health

I cannot reccommend Dr Melinda Wassell highly enough.
As an avid Aussie Rules football player for nearly 30 years, in the early 2000s, I experienced a bulged disc injury that, despite being managed, has persisted. Since retiring and losing some fitness, my back has became increasingly difficult to manage, to the point that I was getting chirpractic adjustments 3 times a month. Then one day through sheer necessity of an adjustment to relieve pain, I found Dr Melinda Wassell. She asked me to consider that my issues weren’t steming from my lower spine, but from my hamstring and the nerves running down my legs. After 2 months of appointments I was waking in the morning pain free and being able to maintain multiple weeks of exercise without breaking down. Rather than just running with the status quo she wanted to understand the underlying issue and treat me for the long term as well as the short term.
While I am sure she would be benefical for any injury, if you have a long term problem that you are having trouble getting to the underlying issue with I suggest getting in to see Melinda, she has helped me more than i can express here.

15/12/23 - I want to thank Mike not only for his great Chiropractic treatments (which have been life changing). When Mike gives a steer in which of the Therapists can be a good follow up to his treatments, he never gets it wrong. So grateful this clinic exists.

Very grateful to Chiropractor Michael Edgley who went above and beyond in providing care for my Husband in deciphering an MRI report. Mike was gracious with his time, fanned down our concerns and offered a forward plan to manage my Husband's injury. Seriously, we are unbelievably lucky to have discovered Docklands Health and their wonderful team of caring practitioners.

Totally recommend this clinic! Adam sorted my neck, and Aimee the Yoga Instructor has sorted my flexibility!

Had Omar as my Physio and his professionalism and efficiency are truly appreciated- every time I leave his office I am no longer in pain. Thank you so very much!

Melinda Wassell is without hesitation my go-to for adjustments. She has an innate curiosity which leads to a deep understanding of how the body hangs together - the more obscure the root cause of an issue, the better - she loves the challenge. Mel will explain what she’s doing and why and will make practical recommendation on actions to avoid a repeat. She’s strong - you will feel her hands making adjustments, but it’s worth the short term discomfort for longer term relief. I highly recommend Mel’s services.

I highly recommend a visit to Docklands health. Friendly staff, great service. They look after you, got an appointment straight away.

I had neck and upper back problems for months, never had this service before and since the first section with Mike, I’m extremely satisfied with the results.

Massage therapy - Good. Laura is recommended.
Psychology- AWFUL. The counsellor was very unprofessional, yawning and constantly checking the time during the consultation. He can’t even be bothered to act like he cares and just sits there waiting for the time to pass so he can charge you $$$.
Physiotherapist & Group Pilates - TERRIBLE. The therapist obviously came unprepared because she acted like she has never heard of my name and didn’t prepare any exercise for me despite all the previous sessions I had with her and the fact that I made the appointment at least 2 weeks in advance. She is hopelessly arrogant and rude. Please avoid at all costs!

Melinda Wassell has been a fantastic chiro when treating my back and shoulders for long term pain. Unlike other places that I've been to which involved just a quick crack, Mel takes the time to assess and update my progress. She uses dry needles and her bare hands to keep in deep where it's needed. I always walk out feeling great. I highly recommend her work.

Dr. Michael was super professional and friendly, I was very lucky to have him!
My torn ligament recovered so quickly thanks to him!

I've been a happy customer of Mike and the team at Docklands Health for many years and highly recommend this clinic for chiro, physio and massage (I'm sure their other services are amazing too!). Such a welcoming friendly environment and superb holistic view to healthcare ️

Exceptional knowledge and professional helped fix an extremely painful neck diagnosis work on it and follow up exceeded expectations would highly recommend

I had the most wonderful Remedial Massage from Laura post marathon. I had been experiencing a great degree of lower back pain. Cannot speak highly enough of Laura. She gave a wonderful massage and was very personable and professional in her interactions. Thank you Laura

While seeing Mike for my back l watched a video in his waiting room about bed wetting and spoke to him about my nearly 7 year old granddaughter who was not toilet trained. Mike had an initial consultation and quickly identified that her bladder wasn't getting the messages from her brain. She saw Mike 8 times and through exercise and light therapy he switched on her nervous system. Now not only is she dry during the day but also at night. Her self esteem has gone up tenfold. Our family can't thank you enough Mike

I have been seeing Melinda for several weeks to address a shoulder injury. She is amazing and I am delighted to be making progress after such a long time especially as I had tried other treatments and had little success! Mel has been able to work through my symptoms and deduce the cause of my issue, offering a range of treatments and contemporary techniques to get me back on track. Mel is highly skilled, professional, friendly and patient. I trust her to support me through my current injuries and any future issues I have. Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Magda for a few months on the back of my friend's recommendation who has been seeing her for a long time.

My friend and I were preparing for a half marathon in Great Ocean Road over the past 2 months and I have been seeing Magda on a weekly basis leading up to the event day.

She has been so impressive and always listened carefully to my needs and tried different things to alleviate my pain points.

My friend and I successfully completed the half marathon last weekend and all thanks to Madga who has been fixing us up every week and put our body to the best condition for the run.

I can't recommend her enough and she is fantastic at what she does. Thanks Magda ️

I have seen Laura several times now for remedial massages and have left feeling better every time. She manages to target all my pain points (including ones I didn't even know I had) skillfully to ensure minimal discomfort and has offered me exercises and tips to help alleviate the stress on my back. Have also had some lovely conversations with her!

I have been visiting this clinic since they opened and the team there are great. Regular Pilates with Maryam has improved my fitness and recently had a massage with Laura which was the best.

Dr. Mike is a good chrio but charges excessively. His appointment are 15mins max and you are charged the full fee for a short massage and neck crack. Disgraceful. We get it, you are running a business trying to make as much money as you can but the service does not represent fair value for money.

I have been seeing Michael and Clare at Docklands Health for on going back and shoulder problems. Their friendly and professional approach to my wellbeing has corrected several problems, addressed chronic pain and allowed me to maintain a good standard of movement. Cheers

Tailored and reassed regularly programs, excellent service. This has help elevate so much of my chronic pain. The sessions involve usually 2 or three people and attention to each participant is wonderful. It's a fun, relaxed and healing environment. I couldn't recommend Maryams services higher!
