My Chiropractic Story
I believe in being a role model for my family, my patients and my profession by keeping healthy through chiropractic care, regular exercise and high-quality nutrition.
I am passionate in pursuing the highest standard of chiropractic technique and knowledge of the human body so I can give the best possible care and results to my patients.
My chiropractic story starts when I was a fit 21-year-old playing in my first A grade cricket semi-final when I simply bent forward to pick up a ball that was rolling towards me.
Suddenly I felt a “pop” and immediately after felt excruciating pain in my lower back and down my left leg, all the way to my big toe. The pain was excruciating and unbearable and I was carried off the field by my team mates.
A friend of mine suggested I see a Gonstead chiropractor, so I made an emergency appointment and thankfully was seen the next day.
The examination was very thorough and my injury was explained to me which gave me confidence I had made the right decision to see a chiropractor.
After a few treatments, my low back and leg pain improved and, almost after a week after my initial injury, I was given the green light to play in my victorious cricket grand final.
At the time, I was studying a Bachelor of Science and this experience was so profound that it inspired me to switch my degree to a Bachelor of Chiropractic. The rest is history!
Why Gonstead
Gonstead Story
The moment I sat through my first Gonstead lecture at Macquarie University, I knew straight away that I wanted to be a Gonstead chiropractor. As a student, I always pushed myself by taking extra classes. I regularly practised my technique on family members (sorry Dad!).
From the start, I wanted to be the best that I could be. I never wanted to give up or quit.
After I completed my studies in 2012, I moved from Sydney to Adelaide. I was fortunate to have earnt an associate position at Trowse Chiropractic with Dr John Trowse.
As a young chiropractor, I always wanted to visit the home of Gonstead Chiropractic. In January 2016, I travelled to the USA to spend time in the original Gonstead clinic in Mt Horeb, Wisconsin. It was an inspiring experience to be able to retrace the steps of Dr Gonstead himself.
In 2019, I became the vice president of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society Australia. I enjoy contributing by helping organise seminars and workshops for students and chiropractors across Australia and around the world. In 2022 I started teaching Gonstead technique at the Australian Chiropractic College (ACC) in Adelaide.
I have attended over 20 Gonstead chiropractic seminars and workshops. In 2024, I was awarded the certification of “Gonstead Ambassador after completing one year of postgraduate training. In 2025, I will begin my Diplomate certification.
Family Time
About me
When I am not practicing, I love spending time with my wife and two daughters. We enjoy baking and cooking together in our kitchen, discovering new local playgrounds, and spending time with friends and family.
Since having children, it has been challenging to find time for a hobby. But when there is a spare moment in our busy schedule, I enjoy spending time with my father-in-law, repairing and restoring old Scott Bonnar cylinder lawnmowers.
Because my wife and I are not initially from Adelaide, we want to explore more of South Australia. Over the next few years, as our daughters grow up, we hope to go on a few road trips and weekend camping adventures.
