CHIROPRACTIC TEAM



Mark Lonnon

I has been awarded a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science followed by a Masters of Chiropractic from Macquarie University. I employ a range of techniques covering both high and low forces to ensure the utmost benefit for my patients. I am proficient in manual adjusting of the spine and peripherals, drop piece technique, activator technique and specialised rehabilitation programs.
My special interests include the treatment and management of sporting injuries. I have been involved with numerous sporting teams across many sporting codes. In the near future I will be undertaking further postgraduate study in this field to allow me to work with elite athletes. As a treating intern at the 2009 Sydney World Masters Games I was exposed to treating athletes at a world class level across a great number of sporting codes.
I recently moved to the Central Coast after practicing in a Chiropractic clinic in the Inner West of Sydney. I am excited to be providing specialist Chiropractic care on the Central Coast.

How Lymphatic Massage Can Assist You


Rob Milton

I have always believed that your life path has been mapped out from the day you were born. Although, always having a keen interest in natural therapies, it wasn’t until my health took one of those detours in life’s journey, that I realised the benefits that natural therapies can ‘fully’ offer. I suppose I never really considered those rewarding opportunities, on a personal level, that this profession could offer either, until I experienced the benefits first hand. Therefore in 2003 I made the life ‘rewarding’ decision to leave a highly demanding job and commence studies in a new profession, as a massage practitioner. I feel blessed, to now be working in an industry and environment that continues to offer me, on a daily basis, a sense of fulfilment and achievement.
Observing clients, leaving my clinic room on a pathway to a restored state of well being and balance, is extremely rewarding.
Since obtaining my Diploma in Remedial Massage which incorporates Therapeutic Massage, Remedial Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Sports Massage, Trigger Point and Ear Candling, I feel so fortunate and proud to be a part of this profession and being able to offer my professional services in such a caring and supportive environment. Taking a wholistic focus and interest in the health of my clients wellbeing, requires not only, a continued and ongoing learning approach, but also being part of a working environment with other professional practitioners here at Lake Spa.

How Can Positional Release Help Your Aches and Pains

My name is Zelka and I would like to tell you how I came to be part of the LakeSpa Practitioners team. I have always had an interest in massage therapy and over many years I was a very active sportsperson whilst working in labour intensive jobs, including the construction industry. Some six years ago I suffered an injury which required remedial and chiropractic work which was very successful. I had my initial treatments here at Lake Spa. As a result of this experience which assisted me greatly, and with my long time interest in remedial massage, I decided to embark on a career that would assist others whilst also giving me great personal satisfaction - hence my commencement at LakeSpa. I am a very enthusiastic person and am passionate about assisting clients in their recovery whilst also continuing my education ongoing in this field so I really look forward to meeting and assisting our clients.


Tara Clementson
I would like to introduce myself and tell you how I began my journey as a massage therapist. Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I found myself constantly going back and forth to doctors and specialists for a structural abnormality in my hips. Being in constant pain, I felt that nothing was providing any long term relief. When I thought I had exhausted all possible avenues, one doctor recommended I go and see a massage therapist. The relief I received was like nothing I had ever experienced before, and I have never looked back since. As I grew older, I started to ask myself, 'If massage can have such a profound effect on my body, I wonder if I could help others experience this too?' After I completed my HSC, I embarked on a journey to become a massage therapist myself. I am continually journeying down my path to build upon my knowledge and skills as a practitioner, and I sincerely hope that massage therapy can have the same benefits for you.
