Dr James Gorsevski

Chiropractor · Wellbeing Chiropractic Reservoir

I’m Dr James Gorsevski, chiropractor at our Reservoir clinic, consulting in English or Macedonian. RMIT’s double degree in health science and chiropractic brought me here, and problem-solving keeps me here: two people can present with the same sore lower back for entirely different reasons, and untangling which reason belongs to you is the part I find best. Postural correction and musculoskeletal rehabilitation are my focus areas, and outside clinic hours I work with a local soccer club, treating injuries when they happen and helping players dodge the preventable ones. Watching someone pick their season, or their garden, back up is the whole reward.

The problems I see most around Reservoir

The ankle that finished the season

A player rolls an ankle mid-season, straps it and keeps fronting up each week. The ankle settles eventually. The knee and hip that spent three months compensating for it tend not to announce themselves until later.

The warehouse week

Plenty of patients around Melbourne’s north spend long shifts reaching, lifting and picking. Shoulders round, the mid-back stiffens, and it rarely rates a mention until it starts interrupting sleep.

The consult that runs easier in Macedonian

Describing exactly where it hurts, and how it started, is hard enough in your first language. For Macedonian speakers around Reservoir, doing the whole appointment in Macedonian means the history is accurate and the plan actually makes sense.

Most of what I see in these clinics built up gradually. Postural change and musculoskeletal irritation are slow burners, and by the time they’re annoying enough to book an appointment for, the pattern behind them is well practised. That’s why I put real weight on the assessment. I want to know what your week asks of your body, how it’s coping with that load, and which part of the pattern needs to change. Hands-on treatment has its place. The rehabilitation side, the exercises and the adjustments to how you sit and lift, is what does the longer-term work.

The problem-solving came first

I finished a double degree at RMIT in 2025, a Bachelor of Health Science alongside a Bachelor of Applied Science in Chiropractic, and started practising at Wellbeing Chiropractic Reservoir. What pulled me toward chiropractic was the problem-solving. Two people can present with the same sore lower back for entirely different reasons, and I find untangling which reason belongs to the person in front of me genuinely satisfying work.

Outside clinic hours I work with a local soccer club, treating musculoskeletal injuries when they happen and helping players avoid the preventable ones. It keeps me connected to the other reason I do this job: seeing someone pick a season of soccer, or a morning in the garden, back up after months of working around a problem. Patients set the goal. My role is building the plan that supports it.

I also speak Macedonian, which counts for a lot in this part of Melbourne’s north. Explaining a health problem is easier in the language you think in, and plenty of families around Reservoir prefer it. I’m a member of the Australian Chiropractors Association, and my registration details are on the AHPRA public register if you’d like to look me up.

How a first visit runs with me

I look at health, function and wellbeing as multi-dimensional. Posture feeds into how you’re presenting on the day, and so does your work, your training and how much recovery you’re actually getting. A first visit with me starts wide for that reason: a thorough history, a postural and movement assessment, and a frank conversation about what your normal week involves. I’d rather understand the whole picture than chase one symptom at a time.

From there we build a care plan. That usually combines hands-on treatment with rehabilitation work you do between visits: specific exercise, a change to your desk or lifting setup, sometimes a better warm-up before Saturday’s game. I’ll explain what I’ve found and why I think it’s behaving that way, and if the problem needs a different kind of care I’ll say so plainly and help you find it.

“Health has a lot of moving parts. I’d rather address as many of them as I can than fix one and ignore the rest.”

Dr James Gorsevski · Chiropractor

How I work in the treatment room

Postural assessment & correction

A structured look at how you sit, stand and move, followed by hands-on care and targeted exercise aimed at the underlying pattern rather than the sore spot alone.

Musculoskeletal rehabilitation

Progressive exercise programs that rebuild capacity after injury, matched to what your work, sport or daily routine will ask of the area.

Sports injury care & prevention

Assessment and management of on-field injuries, informed by ongoing work with a local soccer club on both treatment and prevention.

Questions patients ask

Yes. I consult in Macedonian as well as English, from taking your history through to explaining the care plan. Let the front desk know when you book so the appointment is set up that way, and family members are welcome to sit in.

It starts with working out why your posture sits the way it does, because posture usually reflects habit and load rather than one faulty joint. I’ll assess how you stand, sit and move, then build a plan that pairs hands-on care for stiff or overworked areas with rehabilitation exercises that change what your body does between appointments. The exercise part matters most, and I’ll be upfront about that.

Often. I work with a local club on treating and preventing musculoskeletal injuries, so ankles, knees and lower backs from the weekend are familiar territory. I’ll assess the injury, tell you plainly whether chiropractic care suits it, and refer you on if it needs imaging or another practitioner first.

If your extras cover includes chiropractic, HICAPS on-the-spot claiming is available so you can usually receive your rebate at the desk. Benefits differ between funds and levels of cover, so it’s worth confirming your chiropractic extras with your fund before the first visit.

No. Chiropractors are primary healthcare practitioners in Australia, and my diary takes direct bookings, so you can book directly online. Bring any recent imaging or reports if you have them, and allow extra time for the first visit so the assessment isn’t rushed.
