AHPRA REGISTERED CHIROPRACTOR

Dr Tara Muscat

Chiropractor · Wellbeing Chiropractic Point Cook

I’m Dr Tara Muscat, chiropractor with our Point Cook clinic, currently on maternity leave while our newest family member gets the full focus. Ballroom dancing injuries introduced me to chiropractic as a kid, RMIT made it a career, and additional training in paediatric and pregnancy care, SOT and sports shaped the practice I will be returning to. Until then, the Point Cook team has you covered.

The care Tara built at Point Cook

Pregnancy’s moving goalposts

Tara’s additional pregnancy training shapes gentle, supportive care focused on comfort and function as the body changes, planned trimester by trimester.

Whole-family bookings

Family care is her passion: kids, parents and grandparents assessed on their own terms, with technique and force matched to each age.

Athletes & dancers

From sports rehabilitation to the precise physical demands she knows from ballroom, Tara helps active bodies at every level chase their goals.

Tara’s consultations run on empathy earned firsthand: she was the injured kid on a chiropractor’s table once, and the experience set her standards for how care should feel. Histories are thorough, examinations unrushed, and plans built around what you are trying to get back to, whether that is a third trimester that feels manageable, a comfortable school term or a return to competition. While she is on leave, the Point Cook team continues care to the same standard.

From ballroom floors to Point Cook

Tara grew up in Altona Meadows, a western-suburbs local, and her first experience of chiropractic came as a child, seeking care for sports injuries earned ballroom dancing. The results made an impression deep enough to steer her studies: Science at Melbourne University first, then graduating from RMIT University as a chiropractor.

Her early career ran through Geelong practice and generous detours: volunteer chiropractic work in Samoa and service at community clinics in Corio. Along the way she completed additional training in paediatric and pregnancy chiropractic, Sacro-Occipital Technique and sports care, the three streams that define her practice.

At Point Cook she built a diary full of families, expectant mums and athletes of all levels. She is currently on maternity leave, living the life stage she has supported so many patients through, and the clinic team is caring for her patients until she returns. Outside practice you will find her at the beach or hiking with her dog Obi.

Gentle where needed, precise everywhere

Tara’s toolkit leans on her additional training: Sacro-Occipital Technique for gentle, systematic work, paediatric and pregnancy approaches for bodies that need care to adapt to them, and sports methods for athletes rebuilding toward performance.

Expect goals set early, technique matched to your stage and comfort, and progress reviewed against your life rather than a template. Her patients tend to arrive as individuals and stay as households.

“The chiropractor who once needed care as an injured young dancer now provides it through every family stage, currently including her own.”

Questions patients ask

Tara is currently on maternity leave. The Point Cook team is caring for her patients in the meantime, and you can book with them online now or watch this page for her return.

Gentle, supportive techniques adapted to each trimester, focused on comfort and function as the body changes. Tara trained additionally in this area, and care always coordinates with your midwife or obstetric team.

Tara completed further training in paediatric care, and children at Point Cook receive gentle, age-matched assessment and treatment, with parents involved at every step.

Ask Tara’s childhood injury list. The precision and load of dance taught her early how demanding athletic bodies are, and her sports training now serves competitors of every kind.

Yes. The Dunnings Road desk processes claims across all major funds at the end of each visit, so only the gap changes hands.
