Dr Nathan Chrimes
Osteopath
B.Hlth.Sc. / B.App.Sc. (Osteopathy), RMIT University
Special interest: Back pain, headaches, postural neck and shoulder pain, sports injuries
Nathan takes a hands-on, personalised approach that combines structural osteopathy with evidence-based recovery, always looking for the root cause rather than just treating the symptom. He holds a Bachelor of Applied Science and Bachelor of Health Science in Osteopathy from RMIT University.
He has worked alongside physiotherapists in multidisciplinary settings and with elite athletes across the AFL and A-League, building treatment that focuses on conditioning and reducing injury. In 2018 he took part in the SALT Health Solutions program in India, which broadened his perspective on community-focused care.
Nathan treats the full range of conditions we see, with a particular interest in headaches and the neck and shoulder pain that builds up from long days at a desk. He pairs hands-on treatment with practical advice and rehabilitation, so the progress you make in the room holds in everyday life.
Outside the clinic, Nathan enjoys cricket, golf, and time with his dog.
Dr Nicholas Giovas
Osteopath
B.Hlth.Sc. / B.App.Sc. (Osteopathy), RMIT University (2017)
Special interest: Chronic back pain, foot and ankle pain, neck and shoulder pain
Nick graduated from RMIT University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Applied Science in Osteopathy. His approach pays close attention to the nervous system and how it changes over time, alongside a strong interest in how we walk and run.
He looks for the root cause of symptoms rather than just the presentation, and has expanded his practice into functional medicine, with interests in blood chemistry, gut health, and overall health optimisation. His clinical focus includes chronic back pain, foot and ankle pain, and neck and shoulder pain.
Nick encourages active participation through prescribed exercises, aiming for lasting physiological change and helping prevent injuries from coming back.
Outside the clinic, Nick enjoys spending time with his fiancée and daughter, playing golf, and supporting the Richmond Tigers.
