Nick Naimo, originally from Leeton in country NSW, has always had a passion for movement and
performance. A keen squash player and gym enthusiast, his interest in fitness naturally led him
to a career in the health industry.

After several years working as a personal trainer in Sydney, he realised that he wanted to offer a
deeper level of care through rehabilitation and pain management. This drove him to complete a
Masters in Chiropractic Science at Macquarie University, while also earning additional
certifications in nutrition, strength & conditioning, and rehabilitation.

With nearly a decade of experience in health and fitness, Nick integrates his background in
personal training with expert knowledge of musculoskeletal health to provide comprehensive,
results-driven care.

Nick utilises a range of manual therapies, including dry needling, soft tissue therapy, and joint
manipulations, to create meaningful change in your symptoms. He is passionate about helping
you overcome pain by identifying and addressing its root cause. His goal is to provide clear
answers, a structured plan, and long-term strategies to keep you strong, active, and pain-free.

Outside the clinic, Nick enjoys spending time with his young family, exploring his new home city
of Melbourne, and attempting to get into AFL – but as a lifelong rugby league fan, it’s a tough
adjustment.

In his time as an Osteopath, Matthew has developed a dedicated interest in treating and managing shoulder-related pain, chronic pain, neck pain, and gym related injuries.

Matthew uses a combination of massage therapy, mobilisation, and movement rehab during his consults.

Matthew trained and taught Karate, and Kickboxing through his teens and early twenties. He also trained in boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA.
