Dr. Zachary Gouvas

Dr. Zachary Gouvas is the Senior Associate Chiropractor at Wellbeing Chiropractic’s Rosanna and Hawthorn clinics, bringing a unique combination of clinical expertise and personal athletic experience to his patient care. A graduate of RMIT University with a Double Bachelor’s Degree in Health Science and Applied Science (Chiropractic), Dr. Zachary combines rigorous academic training with 14 years of high-level soccer experience at prestigious clubs including South Melbourne Hellas and Bullen Veneto Club. This extensive athletic background provides him with first-hand understanding of sports injuries, recovery protocols, and the physical demands of competitive athletics, allowing him to connect with patients who need a practitioner who truly comprehends the challenges of injury and rehabilitation.

Dr. Zachary’s comprehensive treatment approach integrates traditional chiropractic techniques including manual adjustments, activator methods, soft tissue therapy, pelvic blocking, and mobilization with advanced therapies such as Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and Sacral-Occipital Technique (SOT). This diverse skill set allows him to provide precise, specialized care for a wide range of conditions, from common back and neck pain to complex sports injuries requiring sophisticated biomechanical assessment and correction. His clinical focus encompasses pain management, injury rehabilitation, prevention strategies, and active recovery protocols, ensuring patients receive integrated care that addresses root causes rather than simply managing symptoms.

What sets Dr. Zachary apart is his commitment to patient education and empowerment. He believes that when patients understand their body’s mechanics and nervous system function, they become active participants in their healing journey and are better equipped to prevent future injuries. This educational approach, combined with his advocacy for active lifestyles and movement-based health, reflects his personal philosophy of maintaining optimal function through fitness and regular physical activity. Outside the clinic, Dr. Zachary practices what he preaches training regularly, staying active, and maintaining the same commitment to wellness he encourages in his patients.

Dr. Zachary maintains an extensive schedule across both clinic locations to ensure accessibility for patients with varying commitments. At the Rosanna Clinic, he is available Monday and Wednesday from 9am to 7pm, Thursday from 9am to 10:30am, and Friday from 3pm to 6pm. At the Hawthorn Clinic, appointments are available Tuesday and Thursday from 11am to 7pm, and Saturday from 9am to 12pm. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from a sports injury, or seeking preventive care and performance optimization, Dr. Zachary provides patient-centered chiropractic care focused on helping you achieve improved health, sustained wellbeing, and the active lifestyle you deserve.
