Welcome! My name is Melissa Lowe and I'm a physiotherapist who graduated from Sydney University in 2000 and have been working in the Redlands since 2007. Over that time I have treated a wide variety of patients with musculoskeletal pain, sporting injuries, work related injuries and have experience in providing post operative rehabilitation including joint surgery and post natal care.
I now consider myself a holistic therapist and my aim is to find the cause of your condition, not just treat your symptoms.​
I am currently working from a home based clinic and provide different services within my physiotherapy scope to help people understand their own unique body, how it works and how they can better optimise it's functioning to improve overall quality of life. I want to empower everyone that walks through my door so they can live a happier and more fulfilling life. Read on further for more information about the services on offer.
PHYSIOTHERAPY
THERAPEUTIC YOGA
Physiotherapy includes one on one hands on treatment for a range of different conditions including but not limited to chronic/persistent pain, musculoskeletal pain, Work cover injuries, sporting injuries, DVA patients and patients under Enhanced Primary Care Plans through Medicare.
​
Your initial session will involve a comprehensive assessment where I gather as much information about you as a person and your lifestyle so I can treat you holistically as pain and injury are complex and multifactorial. Recovery is influenced by our biology, our thoughts, emotions, beliefs and our social setting. I will also do a thorough assessment of your body which includes alignment and movement patterns.
​
Your treatment will be tailored around your needs and may include soft tissue massage, manual therapy, exercise prescription and meditation/breath work.
​
​
Since becoming a yoga teacher in 2021, I have been able to help ordinary people start/continue a yoga journey safely through a clinical approach and use yoga poses and philosophy to be part of their tools for healing.
The therapeutic benefits of the postures, breathing techniques and mindful attitudes of yoga can also complement current exercise and treatment programs.
​
I offer one on one classes that are rebatable through private health funds.
​
Please note, new clients will need to have an initial assessment before booking in. Please call to book an appointment.
MEDITATION
Modern life presents far more psychological threats than physical ones, yet the response is the same.
​
Practices such as meditation and yoga teach us to connect to the moment before us and to recognise that thoughts in the mind are transient. 98% of our thoughts, feelings and emotions don't belong to us and can lead us astray.
​
Meditation can often be the missing link in your rehabilitation and pain management as it helps you go inward, increase self awareness and trust the body's innate wisdom to heal, repair and achieve balance.
​
I offer one on one meditation sessions or small meditation classes to help you with your healing journey.
​
Please call for more information if interested.

MY HOLISTIC PRACTICE
PHILOSOPHY
​
My mission is to educate people on how powerful the mind is and how it works in integration with the physical body. I look at whole body alignment and movement patterns to find the underlying cause of your pain rather than just treating your symptoms.
​
I believe everyone has the power to heal, repair and achieve balance and I can help to provide the right conditions/environment to do this. By doing this, we can help with your pain management, regain function and movement and improve your overall quality of life.
​
When not at work, I love spending time with my family and adventuring out on our boat. I love anything health and wellness and enjoy regular yoga/meditation, cooking and spending time in nature.
Healing is a journey you need to commit to and I'm here to support you along the way
