Matt Hamann

Chiropractor and Pilates Instructor

Bachelor of Chiropractic Science at Macquarie University

Master of Chiropractic at Macquarie University

Matt graduated with a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and Masters in Chiropractic in 2004, and then spent two years practicing on the Gold Coast before moving to London to pursue an opportunity in one of the UK’s most exclusive practices. Here he treated high profile patients alongside an integrated team of highly regarded medical and allied health professionals.

Drawn back to Australia, Matt returned to private practice and an academia position in Sydney, lecturing and tutoring within Macquarie University’s Chiropractic Master’s Degree program in the fields of orthopaedics, sports chiropractic, spinal rehabilitation and advanced patient management. He also conducted performance training consultation and injury management for local athletes and sporting clubs.

During an informal two-year sabbatical from 2013, Matt furthered his training and education in the field of massage and muscle release therapies before returning to the beautiful Gold Coast where he practices what he refers to as Contemporary Chiropractic Care from The Living Well Studio.

Matt typically takes an evidence-based sports model of chiropractic care, which has been shown to be very effective in treating both athletes and those not so athletically inclined. Matt expects to see improvements quickly and commonly uses techniques such as diversified spinal manipulation, drop table techniques, joint mobilisation, stretch, massage, soft tissues release, cranial therapy, active release technique, stabilisation exercises, Sacro Occipital technique blocking, strength training and athletic performance training.

As a complementary adjunct Matt also teaches Pilates based rehabilitation classes at The Living well Studio. He brings a wealth of knowledge to his sessions and finds it complements his adjustments immensely.

Conveniently located at 2/5 Stevenson Crt Burleigh, Gold Coast.

COVID-19

As per the government health guidelines on the 22nd of March 2020 non essential services will be closed. This does not include us. While we are still open for our usual services we will be practicing strict and heightened hygiene measures during this time to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

From the PM’s address today, we want to be clear we are not a gym. We are a health care practice, that provides services to optimise health and reduce pain from musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. Our studio team are ensuring complete high grade sanitisation of props and equipment that will only be single person use for each session, and ensuring social distancing. The staff and studio have had no connection to the COVID-19 at this time.

As per the government health guidelines we will not allow access to our services if you answer “yes” to any of the below:

Have you been overseas in the last 14 days?
Have you been in contact with anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
Do you have a dry cough, shortness of breath, fever or sore throat?
If answered yes to any of the above, please call the COVID-19 hotline on 1800 020 080.

We ask patients who are at risk to please let us know before your appointment so we can discuss your position. This includes immune-suppressed, the elderly and those who have been in high-risk areas. We also ask that you call the clinic if you do develop COVID-19 or have come in contact with someone who has so we can act according to the government recommendations.

For all treatments, our linen is being changed for every client and a wipe down of all equipment used. We ask that you remain in your car until your treatment time to minimise patient to patient contact in the waiting area. We also ask that you use ‘tap and go’ for your payment method rather than cash. Also we will not require you to sign your health fund slip to minimise cross use of pens between staff and patients. All our door handles and surfaces are regularly being cleaned during the day.

We ask everyone who comes in for group therapy sessions.

Bring a large towel and socks.
Keep 1.5m distance between yourself and others.
Wash your hands before and after the class.
If you need to cough or sneeze, cover your face and wash or sanitise hands immediately.
If you wish to wear gloves we have them available for you.
Online and Telehealth will be an option in the very near future….watch this space.

We are understanding of each and everyone’s individual position and we deeply care for your health and encourage everyone to take steps to keep strong and healthy at this time. Please feel free to call or email our staff to voice your concern and receive guidance. We are dedicated to informing you of our position and future movements in relation to Covid-19.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

TLWS Management team.
