Melanie treated me after my most severe concussion that I have had. She provided treatment and advice that has made this recovery much easier and faster than all my previous concussions. She is extremely knowledgeable and a great practitioner.
I’m so thankful to have found Mel at Triskelion! After suffering from a long-term concussion (MTBI), her adjustments and holistic treatment suggestions have been a game-changer. Within a few days, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my thought clarity and energy levels, and my symptoms became much less invasive, allowing me to start living my life again within a couple of weeks. Mel is incredibly knowledgeable, clear, and her treatments have been highly effective. I can’t recommend her enough for concussion care—she’s truly made a significant difference in my recovery!
Mel made a huge difference to my concussion recovery. I started treatments within days of a car accident and believe this early engagement with a skilled practitioner sped up my journey. The symptoms improved faster and I was able to return to some activities before my initial assessment with the concussion service.

FAQ
Yes, in many cases. ACC may contribute to the cost of your treatment if your condition resulted from an accident. This rule applies to both concussion care and osteopathy. A patient surcharge applies in addition to the ACC contribution. If you do not already have a claim open, we can lodge one on your behalf at your appointment.
No referral is required. You can book directly with our osteopath online at any time
Your first appointment covers a full case history and physical assessment. You will leave with a clear diagnosis and a realistic picture of the next steps. Your treatment plan is agreed upon together before anything begins, built around your condition and your goals. Follow-up is built in to make sure your progress is sustained.
The answer depends on the nature and severity of your condition, as well as how recently the injury or onset occurred. As a general guide, a minimum of four to six treatments is typically recommended, with regular reviews used to adjust your plan as you progress. We will give you a realistic picture at your first appointment and revisit this as your recovery develops.
Treatment is generally carried out with patients fully clothed, so comfortable, loose-fitting clothes work best. Wear something that allows easy movement and access to the areas being assessed. If specific physical tests are needed, we will let you know in advance.
Many New Zealand insurers include osteopathy under extras or day-to-day cover. Whether this coverage applies depends on your specific plan and annual limits. We are an Easy Claim clinic, which simplifies the process of submitting claims directly. It is worth checking your policy before your first appointment.
