EDUCATION 🤍✨ My goal is to help you work towards your goals, address your concerns, the way you move and limitations.
Treatments are tailored to YOU so you can independently manage your pain and sometimes this means being less hands on and being focus more on education.

NEW SIGNS ARE IN! Thrilled to be able to do what I love inside a gym which has the most amazing programming which encompasses everything about strength, health and wellness 😍
Continuous improvement everyday 💪🤍

OVERHEAD STABILITY ✨
STABILITY refers to the concept of holding still and overhead stability requires a variety of musculature, joints and tendons to work together
Whether you’re simply carrying groceries, or a backpack, you’d be amazed how muscle activation and stability is needed for these simple every day tasks
Our core stability, being able to brace, holds an important factor in being stable and strong overhead. The overhead carry can help you develop stability, strength and mobility!

It’s a dream working in this profession is because I love helping people feel better and realise what they’re truly capable of ✨

We love when SunDevils athlete Josh Perren comes in for his maintenance appointments!
Josh has been dealing with a few niggles during the off season so we’re happy to be working with him to get him back to his best by the time gridiron season starts again 🏈

Why do I encourage movement/rehab along with manual therapy? Because I know it works! I had the pleasure of being the team chiro/trainer for the Brisbane Bandits for the ‘22/23 ABL season so I had to make sure these guys were ready to go each week! The same rehab principles apply wether you’re a professional or every day athlete as my goal is to help you perform and feel better ✨

A few added touches 🤍✨
Ready to take all of your health needs

Let’s talk hip stabilisers ✨
Featured is the Copenhagen plank which is a great accessory exercise to train those adductors which play a crucial role for pelvic stabilisation.

Anytime you’re standing on one leg (like every step you take while walking) the adductors work to prevent your knee from caving in. A great reason to keep these guys strong don’t you think 🤔

The goal is to create a straight line from the ankles to the hips and the shoulders
Remember to brace and squeeze the glutes as you hold this position

DRY NEEDLING ✨

A treatment modality I use a lot in clinic to treat hyperirritable spots located in the tight band of skeletal muscle

Dry needling can elicit a local twitch response which can lead to alterations in the length and tension of muscle fibres

Increase blood flow which can decrease pain caused by muscle trigger points

When combined with other manual therapy techniques and exercise programs, dry needling can improve pain and the function of the body
