Hi, my name is Matthew Dere.  I am a 2007 graduate of Victoria University and have been practicing at Westside health and sports clinic since 2008.  I have a great affinity for the western suburbs, even though I’m a Bombers supporter. I believe that patient care is paramount, so it very important to form strong patient-practitioner relationships. This extends into your consultation, where your treatment is designed specifically for your individual condition. I have a keen interest in acute amd chronic conditions, let it be from home, sport or work injuries.  We can pretty much treat anything that is ‘sore’.  Treatment will vary, but generally consists of soft tissue massage, a variety of muscle and joint stretches, joint mobilization and HVLA (where you hear the joint “pop”).  We hope to see you down at the clinic, but not too often.
