Dr Werner Muller is a sports massage therapist and osteopath, who trained at the prestigious Oxford Brookes University in the UK and worked in private practice in Oxford. We are fortunate that Werner decided to relocate to Adelaide with his family to enjoy the relaxed Australian lifestyle we have all come to enjoy.

A passionate sportsman and athlete, Werner played professional rugby in South Africa before pursuing studies to become an osteopath. Dr Muller brings his extensive knowledge and experience to guide and educate his patients on improving their health and fitness, regardless of age. With a keen appreciation of body biomechanics and how this may influence performance, Werner understands the challenges associated with injury and how this can impact both the body and the mind.

Believing in prevention rather than cure, Werner is acutely aware of the need for self-care and balance in injury recovery and prevention.This knowledge means he is able to educate others in a healthy lifestyle and the important role this plays in achieving an overall sense of wellbeing.

What makes you different/why should people see you?

As well as a Speech Pathologist, I am also a performer and a vocal coach which means I am uniquely qualified to rehabilitate and extend the voice both in singing and speaking.

A voice concern for a singers and professional voice users is an urgent matter. It is your livelihood, your communication and your joy. I understand how in tune singers and professional voice users are with slightest changes in their voice and will diligently work with you, and other health care professionals as needed, to help rehabilitate your voice towards optimum vocal functioning.

In addition to vocal rehabilitation, my goal is to educate my clients on vocal care and function so future voice issues can be prevented or managed, independently.

- The Vocal Educator Toolkit (for singing teachers and aspiring singing teachers)
