Dr Andrew Willmott

Chiropractor / Partner · Wellbeing Chiropractic Pakenham

I’m Dr Andrew Willmott, practice partner and chiropractor at our Pakenham clinic. I completed my Masters of Clinical Chiropractic in 2010, added Gonstead, Activator, Sacro Occipital Technique certification and an Advanced Diploma of Dry Needling along the way, and a 2015 mission trip through Cambodia reminded me what this work is at its core. Everything since has served one goal: helping individuals and families move better, feel better and get more out of life. Your concerns get a proper hearing here, and your care gets built around your body and stage of life, not pulled off a shelf.

In practice since 2010

Pakenham

2010 Masters-qualified

Masters of Clinical Chiropractic, with SOT certification and an Advanced Diploma of Dry Needling added since.

What walks through the Pakenham door

Backs that built the backyard

Pakenham’s new estates come with decks to build, gardens to landscape and garages to fill. Weekend construction is a contact sport for lower backs.

An hour each way on the Princes

The commute to town adds two seated hours to every working day. Hips shorten, necks stiffen, and Fridays start feeling older than they should.

Three generations, one booking

I see grandparents, parents and kids from the same Pakenham families. Care that adapts to every age is the whole point of family practice.

Every stage of life comes through this clinic, and the method holds across all of them: your concerns listened to without a clock running, a thorough physical examination, then care personalised to your goals rather than to a template. Where something needs a doctor’s eyes or imaging first, you’ll hear that plainly before care begins.

From Masters to partner, via Cambodia

I finished my Masters of Clinical Chiropractic in 2010 and have spent the time since widening the toolkit: Diversified and Gonstead adjusting, Activator instrument work, certification in Sacro Occipital Technique, and an Advanced Diploma of Dry Needling for the muscle work stubborn problems keep asking for. I’m a member of Chiropractic Australia, and these days a partner in the practice as well.

The experience that marked me most came in 2015, when I joined a chiropractic mission trip through Cambodia. Treating people who had never had access to spinal care of any kind strips the work back to its essentials, and I came home a better listener and a more resourceful practitioner than I left.

I also hold training in equine and canine chiropractic, and helping dogs and horses stay comfortable is a real love of mine. The canine side comes to work with me: I see dogs at Pakenham as well as people, so ask the front desk if your four-legged family member needs care too. What keeps me here is the moment someone realises they’ve stopped planning their day around pain.

Listen, examine, then personalise

First visits at Pakenham run unhurried: your story and concerns first, a thorough physical examination second, and an explanation of findings before treatment is discussed at all. With five techniques and a needling qualification to draw on, the care fits you, never the reverse.

Plans account for your stage of life, from young athletes to grandparents, and include the home-front layer of movement and daily habits. We measure progress by what you can do again, and change course whenever your body votes for something different.

“The best day in this job is watching someone pick up their grandkids again without planning it first.”

How I work in the treatment room

Diversified & Gonstead

Manual adjusting with a decade and a half of mileage behind it, applied only where the examination points.

Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)

Certified, block-based work that recruits gravity instead of force for gentler corrections.

Activator Method

Instrument adjusting for patients who prefer their care measured in grams rather than thrust.

Dry needling

Advanced Diploma trained, for the muscular knots that keep dragging joints back into trouble.

Questions patients ask

It means the needling here sits on deeper training than a weekend course. Where tight muscle is feeding your problem, fine needles can release it alongside the adjusting work, and it only happens with your understanding and consent.

Several. SOT uses positioned blocks and gravity, and the Activator delivers a small instrument impulse. Between them, force stops being a reason to avoid care.

Yes, family care is the heart of what I do. Techniques and pressure scale right down for younger patients, everything is assessment-led, and mum or dad stays right beside the table.

Yes, all major health insurance funds process at the front desk before you leave, so if your extras include chiropractic, you’re only ever paying the gap.
