A big welcome to our latest addition to the Middle Park Osteopathic Clinic family: Jana Sarantis
Jana has been interested in the human body from a young age, inspired by her mother who is also a medical professional. Her interest in sport and as a former Victorian representative in hockey, led her to visit an Osteopath for her own sporting injuries and low back pain and was instantly impressed with their approach to injuries and pain.
While studying Osteopathy, Jana worked for a football club and hockey club, helping them with injury management. She currently still works at Altona Hockey Club as the club’s Osteopath.
She has particular interest in treating sporting injuries, low back and neck pain. Jana employs a holistic approach to treatment, often looking away from the painful site to address compensations and other areas that could be causing stress to the painful/stiff area.
Since qualifying in Osteopathy, Jana has undertaken further study in Dry Needling, Workplace Ergonomic Assessment and Functional Movement Assessment and Rehabilitation.
Jana also enjoys cooking and travelling. She has also recently taken an interest in wild food foraging which she plans to learn a lot more about.
