WHAT WE SEE
Common reasons Whittlesea patients see us
We see plenty of runners, riders and walkers with overuse injuries from the trails around Toorourrong Reservoir Park, Yan Yean Reservoir Park and the Plenty River.
Local footy and netball players from the Whittlesea Eagles (Whittlesea Football Netball Club) and surrounding junior leagues come in for injury recovery and pre-season conditioning.
With Whittlesea’s semi-rural spread, we also see plenty of property owners and hobby farmers for back, shoulder and knee strain from physical outdoor work — plus parents of Whittlesea Secondary College, Whittlesea Primary and St Mary’s Primary students dealing with everyday aches from busy family life.
Sports Injuries
Footy, netball, soccer — common across Doreen's club scene.
