Dr. Abdirahman Gelle

Abdirahman completed his studies at RMIT University earning and Bachelor of Health science and a bachelor of applied Science (Osteopathy). During his time there, he developed a deep understanding of the human body and a holistic approach to care that focuses on treating the root cause of pain rather than just the symptoms.

Outside of work and studying, I enjoy immersing myself in nature, exploring new destinations, going to the gym, and cherishing quality time with my family.
I am committed to delivering patient-centred and holistic care, helping people achieve their goals, and striving to make a positive impact on the lives of many individuals.
