Practice Manager
Erin has been working in team leadership positions in the Allied Health industry since 2007 and with the Stay Tuned family since 2015 (please don’t do the math, she swears she isn’t a day over 29 😉 although she has been 29 for a few years now haha) because she simply loves being a part of high energy results driven team.
The best part of her job is implementing new processes & procedures to make her colleagues days better so they can focus on what they excel at; looking after our patients… because Erin truly believes that “Everybody deserves to feel good” and together the clinical & non-clinical team can really make a powerful impact together.
Away from work (which is never haha!) Erin can be found eating a delicious meal locally with the hubs, being the raddest fur-mumma to Frank the Springer Spaniel, Ruby the Cocker Spaniel & Lily the Murray River Retriever (did somebody say “crazy dog lady?”) or her sugar hobby of baking & decorating cakes, cookies and all things yummy!
Erin works as the Practice Manager at both the Boronia and Elwood clinics.

Paul thirst for knowledge, and to find more ways for people to “feel good”, lead him to additionally complete a Masters in Exercise Science.
As a therapist he has applied this principle to his clinical work with patients. As a lecturer, teaching Exercise Science and Rehabilitation at RMIT and Victoria University, and international presenter he has been able to pass on this principle to many thousands of students and other allied health practitioners and Doctors.
Paul continues to share his passion through his work in the Stay Tuned clinics, mentoring many practitioners, writing Health and Fitness related articles and travelling internationally to lecture and look after a variety of professional athletes and teams.

Kane also places great importance giving each patient a constructive understanding of their musculoskeletal complaint and ways in which we can work together to return to what it is you love doing.

Simon’s treatment success lies in the combining of tried and tested techniques with the creation of techniques developed for the actual presenting problem, not dividing, but integrating musculoskeletal, visceral and cranial body systems.
Simon firmly believes in treating the sapling so the tree grows straight, and so has been treating and helping infants for many years, especially his 3 young children who are his best advertisements.

He is also a PTR registered tennis coach, an avid skier and, also hopes to return to the basketball court after returning to his hometown after nearly 20 years abroad.
