Building a business. Raising a family. Chasing a personal best. Creating something you're proud of.
Things worth getting back to
Pick the one that sounds most like you. Everyone gets the same level of care. This just shows what it tends to look like for people in your shoes.
A plumber at the end of a long week. A parent who hasn't slept properly in months. Someone building a business from a laptop. Someone training for their first half marathon. Different demands, same question: why is this hurting, and what can I do about it?
Choose an option to see more.
Some people measure it in kilometres. Others in hours on their feet, kids lifted, jobs finished or simply getting through a busy week.
Whatever you're asking of your body, it matters. And when pain starts getting in the way, you deserve care that takes those demands seriously.
We start with what you need to keep doing, then work out what's getting in the way. Two examples of what that looks like.
Example one
Right calf tightens after 25 km on the long run.
Example two
Neck pain and headaches by mid-afternoon.
Not everything can carry on during rehab. When a short break is the right call, you'll hear it, along with the reasoning and a plan to come back.
Pain often shows up when what you ask of your body runs ahead of what it can handle right now. A way of thinking about it, not a prediction.
Pick an example
An educational illustration, not a prediction. Your plan comes from your assessment, and timeframes vary.
Assessment, symptom management, hands-on treatment, and a decision on what you keep doing.
Strength, tolerance and confidence rebuilt to what your work, home life and activity need.
Extra capacity for a race, a heavier job or more energy left at the end of the week. Optional, and you can start here.
Tim White is the clinic's chiropractor, so he's who you see at every visit.
A dad with a young family, an Ironman finisher and an eight-time marathoner. He knows what it takes to look after your body while a lot else is going on.
You'll know the plan, roughly how long it should take and what it will cost on day one. You decide from there.
First visit, 45 min
What's happened, what your days involve, a proper examination and any scans. Then what's going on, what we recommend and roughly how long it should take.
Same day
Hands-on treatment where it's appropriate, and your first exercises, so you're working on it from day one.
Follow-ups, 20 min
A quick re-check, treatment, and moving your rehab forward. Not every technique every time.
Every few visits
We re-test what we measured at the start. Appointments are spaced out, the plan changes, or care finishes.

Pick the closest match and we'll suggest an appointment.
Only if that's genuinely the right call, and you'll get the reasoning. The default is working out what you can safely keep doing while the problem is dealt with. Some problems do need a proper break, and you deserve a straight answer either way.
It depends on the problem and what you need to get back to. Some people need one or two, others a few months of rehab. You get an estimate on day one and it's reviewed as you go. There are no packages or contracts.
No. It's one option alongside soft tissue work, mobilisation and exercise. Say so and we'll work without it.
No referral needed. Most extras policies cover chiro, and rebates are processed on the spot.
Sudden numbness in the groin, loss of bladder or bowel control, or severe pain after an accident needs a GP or emergency department today, not an online booking.
