Dr Joel Winbanks grew up in Cranbourne and now living in Botanic Ridge is our local Osteopath with over 15 years experience helping people within the health and fitness space.
Prior to becoming an Osteopath Joel was passionate about health as a personal trainer working at many large gyms around Melbourne as well as running his own business seeing clients one on one.
Joel graduated from Victoria University in 2014 completing his Bachelor of Clinical Science (Osteopathy) and Masters of Health Science (Osteopathy). Since then Joel has completed further studies in communication, biomechanics, chronic pain management and strength and conditioning to provide patients with the highest level of service and care.
Joel’s special interests include helping patients with exercise related injury, back pain, shoulder dysfunction and improving overall health and wellbeing through functional movement exercises, healthy lifestyle choices and stress reduction.
Osteopathic treatment with Joel provides a holistic approach to pain with the understanding that everything in the body is connected. His in-depth knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics is focused on finding the cause of pain and dysfunction rather than just treating the symptoms.
Patients will leave their treatment with a better understanding of their pain and how they can play an active role in their own health and recovery.
In addition to taking care of patients through Osteopathy, he enjoys CrossFit, food, travelling, movies and time with his family and friends.
