Erin Burch

Business 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 loves being a part of high energy results-driven team.

The best part of her job is implementing new processes & procedures to improve her colleague’s days so they can focus on what they excel at, looking after our patients… Erin truly believes that “Everybody deserves to feel good”, and together the clinical & non-clinical team can make a powerful impact.

Away from work (which is never, haha!) Erin can be found eating a delicious meal locally with the hubs, being the maddest 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.

Stay Tuned’s founder, Paul is Australia’s first and only dual titled Osteopath and believes wholeheartedly in the company’s motto; Everybody Deserves to Feel Good. He believes it is our responsibility and privilege to help everyone we interact with to feel as good as possible.

Whilst studying Osteopathy, Paul completed his Master’s research studying the ‘Effectiveness of Swiss Ball Training on Lower Back Stability’ before authoring his first book ‘Effective Swiss Ball Training’. Paul’s thirst for knowledge and finding more ways for people to “feel good” led him to complete a Masters in Exercise Science additionally.

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 an international presenter, he has been able to pass on this principle to 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 various professional athletes and teams.

Paul works as an Osteopath & Exercise Scientist at both Boronia and Elwood clinics.

**Please note that Paul will not be taking online bookings due to a large patient load and a waiting list. If you wish to schedule an appointment, please call our friendly reception team to discuss your options.
