About Mountain View Chiropractic

Having received great personal results through chiropractic care and seeing the amazing changes to his health and well being whilst studying a bachelor degree in Human Biology, Dr Kane Watson (Chiropractor) was inspired to complete a further double degree in Chiropractic. Graduating in 2001 from RMIT his chiropractic journey led him all over Australia working as a locum until coming to practice at Mountain View Chiropractic in 2003 taking over from the retiring Dr Bob Cathie.

Kane has been practicing at Mountain View Chiropractic for 20 years and sees patients of all ages, he also has a passion for caring for patients with various running or sporting injuries. In his spare time Kane loves to run, play golf with his mates, do high ponytails and plaits for his two daughters and spend time with his wife and daughters doing family activities. He also loves Batman, and has been known to ask "but have you seen me AND Batman in the same place?"

Mountain View Chiropractic has served the local community of Croydon and its surrounds since 1978 and it is an honour for Dr Kane to be able to continue that service.

Dr. Natalie grew up receiving Chiropractic care right here at Mountain View Chiropractic and after beginning her career in the Gippsland region, she returned here to work in 2015. Natalie thinks it’s pretty wonderful to be able to provide Chiropractic care to many families, watching their children grow in the same practice she grew up attending with her parents. As a child and teenager, she suffered chronic migraines and several sporting injuries from netball and horse riding, the improvements and benefits to her health through Chiropractic care inspired her to study Chiropractic. Natalie graduated from RMIT University with a Bachelor of Health Sciences (Chiropractic) and a Masters of Clinical Chiropractic with Distinction. She has completed a 2 year Diplomate program in Chiropractic Paediatrics along with further training in women’s health and pregnancy care.

Natalie's passion is caring for pregnant women, children and families. She really loves it when she is able to care for and support a woman throughout her pregnancy, allowing her body to feel its best and to function at its most optimal, for a safe and beautiful birth of her child. She loves providing support to mums in their postnatal period and she is truly honoured when parents choose her to be able to care for their children.

Outside of the practice, Natalie loves spending her time being a mum to her cheeky son and watching him grow and learn new things every day. In winter she really enjoys skiing and in summer time she enjoys being out wakeboarding, going on walks with friends and going on adventures with her husband & their son. Natalie likes cooking and you might hear her ask “what’s for dinner tonight?” if she’s needing some last minute inspiration for her and her families dinner! 

Natalie will be on maternity leave from mid-October 2025 returning in 2026

Marcus is a Physiotherapist and qualified strength and conditioning coach with a passion for helping people move well, recover fully, and stay injury-free. He has been part of the MVC community for many years, both as a patient and now as a practitioner, and brings a holistic approach to assessment, treatment, and long-term health.

His approach begins with a thorough full-body assessment, looking at range of motion, strength, and movement quality to identify the true drivers of pain or dysfunction. From there, Marcus develops an individualised plan that may include hands-on therapy, targeted strength work, postural control exercises, self-management strategies, and long-term conditioning to restore function and resilience.

Marcus has a background in semi-professional sport and a particular interest in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS), which guides his ability to retrain efficient movement patterns and unlock sustainable progress.

Marnie is our Practice Manager, the Robin to Dr Kane's Batman, the leader of the Chiropractic Assistant Pack and the mum of the group. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she works hard to make sure our patient’s needs are met from the time they call the clinic, their experience whilst at the clinic and once they’ve left the clinic. She has a genuine concern for the people around her. Her organisational skills and ability to multitask (some may say she has OCD) makes for a smooth running of the clinic. In her spare time, Marnie enjoys spending time with family, sunshine getaways and reading a good book.
