Dr Matthew Gooch has brought a lifetime interest in chiropractic to Manifold Heights.
“I’ve been surrounded by chiropractic my whole life and my father has been in practice for the past 35 years,” Matthew says.
Now he’s followed in his father’s footsteps as owner of Shannon Avenue Chiropractic for the past year.
“Currently I’m the primary practitioner, being a chiropractor. My partner, Hannah, and I run the practice together”.
Hannah works as the clinic’s chiropractic assistant and practice manager.
“I run a lot of the day-to-day dealings of the business,” she says.
“I manage our social media platforms and marketing, answer the phone, take payments and am also here to greet all the patients and ensure we provide a comforting and welcoming environment.”
Matthew has an occupational health background, previously managing workplace injuries in Melbourne.
“We’ve made the transition down to Geelong into a private practice. The business is really growing and we’re passionate about the area.
“We also live at the clinic in Manifold Heights. We live at the front and the clinic is located at the back.
“As a chiropractor our emphasis is on spinal health care and spinal adjustments and we also help our patients manage extremity complaints that can occur due to injury during exercise, working environments and day-to-day life.
“Conditions of the spine, spinal pain, and spinal disorders are first and foremost what we treat.”
Matthew says chiropractic treatments can benefit patients without having to use surgery or medication.
“I really like the fact we can see a difference in people’s pain straight away without too much intervention.
“We’re really passionate about what we do.”
