Millie O’Brien
CLINICAL MYOTHERAPIST
S & C COACH
I completed my Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Myotherapy) in 2018 and have complimented my soft tissue skills with ongoing professional development in strength & conditioning and exercise rehabilitation.
I enjoy helping people navigate their recovery by listening to their individual needs and goals regarding treatment, exercise and lifestyle.
I work to implement a variety of soft tissue techniques during your treatment to assist in your recovery and ability to enjoy healthy movement, in whatever shape or form that is for you.
I enjoy educating a client about their injury rehabilitation and guiding them through a progression of strength, from a newbie to a seasoned gym or sports goer! I particularly appreciate the relationship between running and strength training and how complimentary this combination can be when the load is managed effectively.
I am passionate to help people of all ages and capability build their independence and quality of life with the right combination of myotherapy treatment and strength training. I believe that patient education, effective treatment and loading strategies are key to the prevention of injuries and healthy active ageing.
We all deserve to have a healthy musculoskeletal system which enjoys moving and maintaining strength. I’d be delighted to help you achieve and maintain this for a healthy and happy life!

Nick Perritt
MYOTHERAPIST
Hi everybody!
I’ve been working as a Myotherapist for about 7 years and as a Remedial Massage Therapist for 4 years before that in Victoria, NSW and New Zealand.
I have a special interest in treating chronic and acute low back pain, especially disc herniations and nerve pain (sciatica). I’ve had a history of back pain and know how debilitating it can be.
I am currently finishing off my Bachelor of Health Science to upgrade my qualifications to become a Clinical Myotherapist.
I’m also undertaking more post-grad qualifications in the Mckenzie & McGill method to further specialise in fixing back and joint pain.
Outside of work I’ll be rock climbing, swimming, doing yoga, playing chess, making “sweet berry wine”, drinking “sweet berry wine”, fermenting something crazy in a jar, eating something crazy from a jar and working as a photographer on the side.
I also really like dogs.

Jess Tettis
CLINICAL MYOTHEAPIST
S & C COACH
Jess' sessions are a thoughtful combination of precise clinical assessment with therapeutic treatment skills that incorporate manual therapy, dry needling, and gentle mobilisations. With over 12 years' experience she has had most success with combining these modalities with biomechanical analysis and exercise prescription for ongoing longevity in her client's health.
Jess works closely with her clients in person and over zoom to ensure acute to chronic musculoskeletal symptoms are managed effectively and return to work and/or sport protocols are seamless. Any ongoing management plans are developed collaboratively with clients' interests and goals prioritised.
Jess has a soft spot for back pain sufferers as she herself sustained a back injury in 2021 that required intensive rehab to overcome. Her lived experience has given her more effective tools to better manage individuals with back pain that is validating and applicable to their lifestyle. She also enjoys working with individuals presenting with shoulder injuries, long covid, headaches and tennis/golfer's elbow.
Throughout the week you can find Jess running strength and conditioning classes @UL, teaching salsa with friends and zipping around on her old school Bianchi.
Jess' interests are varied and include all things Colombia, volunteerism, salsa, languages, outdoor activities, and ongoing education. She enjoys all kinds of movement especially types that link mind to body and her favourite movement humans are Todd Hargrove, Jon Yuen, and the entire Explain Pain Crew @Noi group.

Noni Witford
MYOTHERAPIST
I’ve always had a deep fascination with the human body, health and movement. When applying for courses at uni, Myotherapy always shone brightly to me. 16 years later here I am.
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of attending many courses with some of the best in our industry in order to ensure I’m at the top of my game.
My most recent coursework was exploring the advancements of pain science in a clinically accessible way using a variety of dry needling and electrical stimulation techniques.
In the last 16 years I’ve worked in clinics in regional Victoria and Sydney while spending majority of my time in Melbourne. Over those years I’ve gained a lot of experience working with all ages and life experiences.
During a treatment with me I’ll use techniques such as deep tissue massage, slow myofascial release, dry needling, slide cupping, neuro-stimulation (Microcurrent Point Stimulation).
I love to educate my clients on how to stretch and strengthen their body to help create symmetry. For long term success it’s paramount to empower my clients by giving them the tools to take control of their pain and niggles. Educating my clients on self-care and teaching them how to move more efficiently is what brings me joy.
When I’m not in the clinic I enjoy nature walks, podcasts, binge watching tv shows (who doesn’t?) and cooking. I must warn you, I’m a passionate foodie and home cook so if you bring up sourdough bread, Mexican food or craft beer it will consume the conversation.

Moyan Phillips
FOUNDER
I graduated Myotherapy in 2008 and probably felt like most new Myotherapists, that there was so much more to learn.
While searching for more knowledge I was often drawn to movement courses from the low thresholds of neuromuscular facilitating and retraining to the higher threshold end of powerlifting.
What I discovered was that Myotherapy and Strength Training were a powerful combination and one that was not often being used together.
So Urban Leopard was founded in 2015 to provide this union. A Myotherapy-only clinic that combines Strength Training into its treatment and rehabilitation methods.
Moyan is off the table for the moment as she manages the business
