Dr Shaun Coghlan, Registered Osteopath
Shaun completed his Bachelor of Science and Masters in Osteopathy at Victoria University.
Shaun has spent his whole life living in Blackburn and has a strong connection to the local community. Shaun is an avid basketballer. After playing for more than 15 years, including a tour of the USA, he moved into coaching in both the junior and senior programs at the Blackburn Basketball Club. Shaun has also previously worked as a sports trainer at the Whitehorse Football Club and has treated athletes at several other sporting events including netball and dodgeball.
Shaun has a keen interest in rehabilitation and promoting self-health and wellbeing through education and lifestyle changes. He applies a holistic approach to treatment and enjoys the challenge of finding the root cause of the issue.
Shaun also works for Corporate Work Health Australia Pty Ltd who specialise in workplace ergonomic assessments and education, and he currently conducts ergonomic and manual handling training and risk assessments across Melbourne. In 2020, Shaun completed his Diploma in Work Health & Safety and consequently was recognized by Osteopathy Australia as an Advanced Occupational Health Osteopath.
If Shaun wasn’t busy enough, he also teaches in the Osteopathy course at Victoria University and is currently completing his Graduate Certificate in Tertiary Education.
Outside of work, you will find Shaun watching or participating in whatever sport is available, which often includes a round of golf with his mates or watching his beloved Collingwood Football Club.
