Dr. Alyce Smith

OSTEOPATH | CLINICAL PILATES INSTRUCTOR

Alyce graduated from RMIT University with a Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy). Alyce grew up in the northwest town of Mildura and spent her adolescent years playing various sports including netball, tennis, swimming and state level volleyball. Alyce’s motivation to become an osteopath was driven by her own personal experiences following sporting injuries, which lead to her keen interest in health and the human body. After receiving a whole-body approach and having someone supporting her, she saw a significant improvement physically and mentally, and now wants to share the benefits with others.

Alyce enjoys treating and connecting with patients of all ages and walks of life, with various aches and injuries. Although she has a keen interest in treating rib dysfunctions, acute and chronic back pain and sporting injuries. As an osteopath Alyce believes in working together with her patients through their journey to enhance their health and wellbeing. Striving to make a positive difference to the lives of others and making sure each of her patients receives exceptional care, she draws from her experience and the latest research in order to tailor each patients’ individual needs to elicit the most effective results. As she is aware that no two patients are the same, she takes into account each of her patients’ lifestyle, occupation, and goals (no matter how big or small) to form her patients’ treatment and management plan. Alyce provides support and education whilst empowering individuals to facilitate their own health and wellbeing with movement.

Outside of helping her patients Alyce enjoys living an active lifestyle whether it be going on runs, going to the gym, spending quality time with friends and family or going exploring.

Dr. Daniela Blancato

OSTEOPATH

Daniela graduated with a Bachelor of Heath Science/Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy), from RMIT University. She has always been drawn to a career in health care, combining her love of human anatomy and the ability to care for others.

She prides herself on her warm and compassionate approach to patient care and strongly believes in the power of a holistic approach to treatment. This involves not only assessing the patient’s pain from a biomechanical perspective, but also exploring the patient’s habits, lifestyle, and overall wellbeing.

Daniela also believes in empowering each of her patients during their recovery journey by making patient education a core part of treatment. This is important not only for preventative treatment but enables her patients to understand the reasons they are experiencing pain. She also forms individualised management plans to help patients achieve their health goals.

Daniela enjoys treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions such as headaches, bursitis, neck, back, elbow and hip pain and especially enjoys working with the elderly. In addition to hands-on osteopathic techniques, Daniela utilises myofascial dry needling, cupping, and shockwave therapy, depending on the patient’s needs and goals.

Daniela is also extremely passionate about lifelong learning as she recognises that osteopathy is an ever-evolving practice. Daniela has been mentored by a wide range of osteopaths with a variety of different treatment approaches and spends time learning different techniques to apply in practice.

Outside of the clinic, Daniela enjoys trying new cafés and restaurants, doing yoga, going to the beach, and spending time with family and friends.
