Young Child Suffering Hemiplegia:
“From the first visit, we saw great benefits to our son’s physical development. He started seeing Melita at 18 months old and is 5 now and the treatments have continued to benefit him. We view Melita’s treatment as a vital part of his continuing success and growth. He feels loved and taken care of here, what more could parents ask for?”
– Mina and Brent, parents of Tai
“Melita not only displays an incredible sense of professionalism in treating and preventing injuries, she has the utmost compassion, kindness, sincerity, patience and commitment to the overall emotional and physical health of her patients. Because of her, I am able to continue competing at the World Class level in luge.”
– Regan Lauscher, Canadian Luge Athlete. 2 time Olympian.
” After 20 years on the Luge World Cup race circuit I was struggling with migraines. Even though I had recovered from numerous broken bones and mishaps over the years, my headaches were holding me back. I thought I had tried everything. Then a teammate introduced me to Melita, a highly experienced osteopathic practitioner . After just one treatment, I improved so much that I asked her to join the team. With her help I was able to continue in the sport for an additional 6 years and two more Olympic Games. In the process I became the oldest woman to compete in the Winter Olympics.”
– Anne Abernathy, Virgin Island Luge Athlete. 6 time Olympian.
” I have had the privilege and pleasure of both working with and being treated by Melita Glanville. Her sharp intellect, intuitive hands and open heart make her an amazing osteopathic practitioner. I would recommend her without hesitation or condition.

“Our baby screamed every day for the 1st five weeks of her life. The day after her 1st treatment with Melita was the 1st time we ever saw her smile. She relaxed visibly and her sleep improved enormously. In 3 treatments it was like we had a completely different child.”
– Taya and Sam, parents of 9 week old Ruby
“In the sport of Luge my body is under such extreme conditions on the track and also in the overseas winter climate for six months of the year. Keeping physically and mentally fit is a necessity in order for me to perform at my full potential.
I was introduced to Melita Glanville in 2005 on the World Cup circuit. I suffered a head injury in a crash and was suffering severe headaches and occasional seizures. Not only was my performance as an athlete hindered, but also my daily functional ability. I was so grateful for Melita’s warm and kind hearted nature, along with her in depth knowledge of the workings of the body.
Since receiving treatment from Melita, I have been headache and seizure free and seen her work on many other athletes who have all had great success with her treatment and advice. Her continued hands-on and caring approach has seen me through two Olympic Games for which I will be forever grateful for.”
– Hannah Campbell-Pegg, Australian Luge, 2 time Olympian
“Melita helped me get out of 12 years of back pain. She discovered I had a coccyx compression, as a result of doing a backward flop into the sea, something I had completely forgotten about.
I used to go to a normal osteopathic practitioner on a regular basis, whenever the disc in my lower back had moved out of alignment. The treatment relieved the pain but never addressed the underlying problem.
Melita is brilliant and determined to get to the root cause of any problem, and I have recommended her to all my friends and family.”
– Maz Pawlik, Electrician
“Earlier this year I had an infection like cellulitis on my face. I was given antibiotics for it and it would start to clear. However, as soon as I stopped the tablets, the infection reappeared. I had six lots of antibiotics in all. Our GP was at a loss as to what to do. Previously, ten years ago in fact, I had a triple heart by-pass. They had taken a vein from my left leg for the graft and it had been swollen ever since. My wife suggested that I see a cranial osteopathic practitioner to see if that would help. I went to see Melita and had a total of 3 treatments. I made a marked improvement after each treatment and the rash on my face disappeared. My left leg is now the same size as the right, and I feel more energized and healthier than I have in years. Melita is very gentle and professional in her approach.
– Joe Simpson, retired soldier
I had been struggling with stiffness and back pain since a fall in 8 months earlier. I decided to give osteopathy a try as my husband had such a good experience. I went to see Melita and felt a lot better even after the 1st treatment. Melita found the source of the injuries and after the third treatment I was free of pain. She gave me some exercises to do and advice on how to care for my back. She is a fabulous practitioner and the treatment felt almost like magic. I would have no hesitation in consulting her again should the need arise.
