Oxygen is the cornerstone of human life. Oxygen allows for cellular growth, tissue repair, energy and so much more. Almost every cell in your body requires oxygen in some way shape or form for survival.
At sea level our air is made up of approximately 20% oxygen. Every breath results in your lungs filling with air. Complexed chemical reactions then occur that transfer that oxygen into the bloodstream to be transported around your body. But it doesn’t end there…
The actual deliver of oxygen to your cells is greatly dependant upon atmospheric pressure.
When we go up in altitude this pressure reduces resulting in a reduced ability to push oxygen into your cells. The reduced ability to use oxygen results in a decrease in cellular function often causing many symptoms commonly known as high altitude sickness.
Just like going up in altitude reduces pressure, going down increases it! By increasing pressure your cells uptake more oxygen stimulating growth and healing.
Our mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) increases the pressure to a light 4psi, or approximately 1.3 times the normal atmospheric pressure. This mimics about the same pressure you’d feel going down about 3 meters under water.
The affect is increased oxygen uptake by the cells and can, in theory, potentially increase blood oxygen delivery by up to 10 times! This is believed to stimulate healing in many tissues, but most notably in the nervous system.
Most people comment that Hyperbaric therapy Melbourne is a relaxing joyful experience. Through stimulating oxygen supply to your organs, muscles, brain and other tissues, healing is often improved and inflammation reduced.
Early research has suggested these changes may be the result of boosting the number of stem cells in circulation, stimulation of nerve growth and healing, modulation of the immune system, promotion of new capillary growth and reduction of inflammation.
Mild Hyperbaric therapy has been shown to be highly safe over decades of use. The pressures used in mild hyperbaric therapy are quite low and are equivalent to the pressure you would feel at the bottom of a diving pool.
Whilst this pressure is very safe and has very minimal risks, there is still a need to be able to ‘pop’ your ears to equalize pressure, similar to what you would feel when descending in an aeroplane. For some this can take some practice, but most can affectively achieve this equalisation without a problem.
Our mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy Melbourne is available 5 days a week and our team is always happy to have a chat to see if hyperbaric may be suitable for you and your problems.

Many people are often concerned whether the practitioners they are looking to can help them. That’s completely normal and we understand this. But there truly is only one true way of knowing whether we can help you or not and that is with a thorough assessment. What we can say is that we promise to be truthful, open and honest with our findings and also work with you to achieve goals you would like to achieve in ways you feel comfortable in achieving them. We understand for many people they still feel a little insecure, and that’s ok. So if you would like to have a brief chat with one of our practitioners about your case prior to coming in, arrange a 10 minute phone appointment with one of our practitioners so we can quickly work out if your problem is one we often work with.
Your initial assessment is the most important appointment you’ll have with our team. Your initial assessment provides us with the time to gather all the important bits of information we need to adequately identify the cause of your problems and work with you heading forward. It is comprised of various health, neurological, physiological and biomechanical tests designed to not only find the cause of your problem, but to help us identify any other potential problems that might be developing.
Often we may require the use of further assessments such as our digital foot scanning technology or heart rate variability technology. In some circumstances we may need to refer you for specialized imagery, such as X-Rays or MRI, or for various laboratory tests. Rest assured our team will walk you through this process so there are no worries or fears along the way.
The complete process of an initial assessment can take up to one hour depending upon the complexity of your problem.
Most health funds have some form of rebate for Chiropractic services. A quick call to your private health insurance provider should be able to answer this for you. Usually there is a separate section for ancillary healthcare which includes Chiropractic, Osteopathy, physiotherapy and other similar health care practices. So simply give your insurer a call and they’ll be able to advise you on your level of coverage.
In terms of our office, when you attend for your appointment we’ll provide you with an itemized receipt which you can use to immediately claim your assessment off. This allows you to keep track of your rebates without any stress at all.
Chiropractic care is not directly medicare rebatable in Australia. However, our practitioners do like working with your GP to provide an integrative approach to your health. As such, our team do accept Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) arrangements which allows for some rebates to be paid by medicare.
If you’re unsure or have specific questions in relation to the use of your EPC plan, just give our office a call and we’ll discuss its use with you further.
We have our own specific parking available right behind our office. Feel free to park within this space. Otherwise, there is free parking available on the road alongside our office on Curtin Street.
Tottenham station is approximately 1.5km along Ashley Street and Dobson’s Reserve bus stop is also a mere 50m from our office. Many people attending our office get here via the bus and train.
Chiropractic care at our clinic is not just about joints being “out of place.” We look at how your brain, nervous system, muscles, and energy systems are working together.
By using chiropractic care alongside functional neurology, we aim to improve how your brain organises movement and muscle tone. Applied Kinesiology is then used to help restore muscular balance, while specific procedures are directed at reducing muscular fatigue by supporting the body’s underlying energy mechanisms.
This integrative approach helps your body move more efficiently, often reducing discomfort and making everyday movement feel easier and more natural.
People often come to see us for back or neck discomfort, headaches, TMJ tension, postural strain, sports injuries, and general stiffness. However, our focus is broader than just structural problems.
Our team is trained in more than the basic chiropractic sciences, combining structural care, functional neurology, Applied Kinesiology, and functional assessment. This allows us to support a wide range of health issues where the nervous system, structure, and body chemistry are interacting.
If you are unsure whether we can help with your specific concern, you are always welcome to call our team and we will guide you in the right direction.
Yes. Your care is always tailored to you. Your practitioner will consider your medical history, previous injuries, surgeries, imaging, and current health status before deciding which forms of care to use.
Our aim is to provide gentle, appropriate input that works with your body, not against it. Everything is explained as you go so you feel comfortable with the process and the direction of your care.
Applied Kinesiology adds a functional, moment-to-moment layer to your assessment. It helps identify how your muscles, reflexes, and neurological pathways are responding to stress, imbalance, or movement.
When combined with functional neurology, AK provides real-time access to how your nervous system is adapting. This lets us match your care to what your body needs on the day, whether that involves structural correction, neurological input, or support for other systems influencing your health.
Yes. Many of our patients are looking to rebuild their health over time, while some simply want to get moving again with less discomfort. Your goals play a major role in how your plan is structured.
Frequency also depends on how long the issue has been present, how your body responds to early care, and what we find on your assessments. We review your progress regularly so your plan continues to match your healing pace, lifestyle, and long-term outcomes.
It is rare for our treatment programs to rely only on traditional, joint-focused methods. Most of our care plans are a complex interaction of different procedures designed to gradually restore your system toward optimal function.
If your body needs more than joint-based work, we may integrate functional neurology exercises, Applied Kinesiology protocols, specific muscle and coordination work, digital assessments such as HRV or balance testing, movement retraining, or referral for functional laboratory testing when appropriate.
Your plan is always personalised so we can find the combination of strategies that best supports your system.
