Having grown up in Seddon, Lana spent a lot of time outside at the local parks and participated in many sporting activities through her teens. This led her to develop a keen interest in the human body, and eventually to osteopathy because of its holistic nature and hands-on approach. At university, Lana volunteered in aged-care and became a sports trainer for Coburg District Football Club. Through these experiences, Lana was able to develop connections with those in these communities, and gained valuable skills in assessment, communication, and acute injury management.
In 2022, Lana moved to the busy coastal town of Barwon Heads, where she treated a variety of different complaints, from posture-related pain to sports and surf injuries. Lana utilises techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint articulation, manipulation, and shockwave therapy. She also has extra skills in dry needling. Lana is passionate about educating patients about their diagnosis and offers advice and exercise prescription to get people back to pain free work or activity.
Lana particularly enjoys treating lower back, postural and TMJ pain. She has also undertaken extra study in managing pregnancy related pain and aiding in post-partum care. When not in the clinic, you’ll probably find Lana shopping around in Seddon’s Happy Apple while eating her favourite hot chips from McManos, or at the local boxing gym.
