Dr Mel Pierlot is a Melbournite, and Adelaide is lucky to have her! She relocated after completing a Bachelor of Science, and a Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) and an Osteopathic internship in Melbourne in an extremely busy clinic.

Mel first became interested in Osteopathy after developing a range of injuries from netball as a teenager. She fell in love with the way Osteopaths treat the person and not the injury, and she always strives to create this environment for her patients too. Mel is a very hands-on practitioner who enjoys treating any patient presentation, whether you’re sore from lifting small humans Mum or Dad, or an elite athlete having lifted a heavy set or in need of a start/middle/end of season overhaul.

Mel’s approach to Osteopathy and person-centred care stems from her values for a balanced lifestyle - work, sport/exercise and fun. She values putting time into life experiences and empathises with those who wish to do the same but are hindered by their pain. She has done extra learning in pain science and pain education. Mel likes to address all aspects of her patient's health by providing a balance of manual therapy, dry needling (https://www.resilienthealth.co/blog/32-dry-needling-is-now-at-resilient-health) , exercise rehabilitation, ergonomic and wellness advice. Mel also ensures that her patients leave the consultation room feeling fully equipped and empowered to lead a healthy, happy lifestyle.

Outside of the clinic, you will find Mel checking out local brunch hotspots, travelling/camping, surfing, cycling, or winding down with Yoga and a good book. As she is not native to Adelaide, please let her know your favourites!
