Dr Kendall Satie
Osteopath
Based in both our Seddon and Prahran clinics, Kendall discovered her passion for Osteopathy a little later than others. Growing up in Western Australia, where Osteo isn’t as prevalent, Kendall tested other degrees and career paths before completing studies in Remedial Massage. This led to working in a busy, multi-disciplinary clinic and gaining years of hand-on experience as a remedial massage therapist, but still feeling like there was more to learn, and more to offer her patients. This meant a move to Melbourne to study Osteopathy at Victoria University, while continuing to work as a remedial massage therapist. RMT and the opportunity to begin mentoring under Andy.
Kendall’s extensive background in remedial massage has heavily influenced her assessment and treatment style. She enjoys balancing the two modalities to provide a thorough and holistic treatment. Using a confident and clinically driven approach to assessment and diagnosis, means applying the most effective treatment and advice, to have a positive and lasting impact for patients and their overall well-being. When not at the clinic, you will find Kendall at her local dog park with her two high energy pups Gus and Acorn, loving life with her family, or continuing her search for a Victorian beach that compares (even remotely) to the WA beaches she grew up on.
Dr Lana Mikovic
Osteopath
Based at our Seddon clinic, and having grown up in Seddon, Lana spent a lot of time outside at the local parks and participated in many sporting activities through her teens. This led her to develop a keen interest in the human body, and eventually to osteopathy because of its holistic nature and hands-on approach. At university, Lana volunteered in aged-care and became a sports trainer for Coburg District Football Club. Through these experiences, Lana was able to develop connections with those in these communities, and gained valuable skills in assessment, communication, and acute injury management.
In 2022, Lana moved to the busy coastal town of Barwon Heads, where she treated a variety of different complaints, from posture-related pain to sports and surf injuries. Lana utilises techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint articulation, manipulation, and shockwave therapy. She also has extra skills in dry needling. Lana is passionate about educating patients about their diagnosis and offers advice and exercise prescription to get people back to pain free work or activity.
Lana particularly enjoys treating lower back, postural and TMJ pain. She has also undertaken extra study in managing pregnancy related pain and aiding in post-partum care. When not in the clinic, you’ll probably find Lana shopping around in Seddon’s Happy Apple while eating her favourite hot chips from McManos, or at the local boxing gym.
