Dr Shane Bennett

Shane is one of the principal osteopaths at Beyond Hawthorn and Windsor, sharing the management role with Dr Michelle Funder. Shane undertook his studies at Victoria University, and his Masters of Osteopathy final year thesis examined ‘Common Injuries in Elite Tennis Players.’

Shane’s motivation to become an osteopath was fuelled by personal experience. As an injured adolescent tennis player looking for a treatment solution, he was put through a merry-go-round of specialists. What finally proved helpful to Shane was osteopathy, and in particular the osteopathic principle of treating the whole body, and not just the injured ‘part.’ Shane applies this same principle in the treatment of his own patients.
