Dr Brad has a diverse background as a result of having multiple long-term careers which ultimately lead him to become a chiropractor. As a father of six, he has a lot of life experience behind him. Dr Brad has a long history in health and fitness. He obtained a Certificate 4 as a Master Personal Trainer in 2002 and has continued to study and train people in functional movement since that time.

Dr Brad is originally from Western Australia and moved his family from Kununurra in the Kimberley region to Mackay to undertake the chiropractic course at Central Queensland University in Mackay. Returning to study in the allied health field as a mature aged student, he chose chiropractic because of the chiropractic philosophy and strong educational foundation that chiropractic offers. The chiropractic philosophy centres around the body’s own natural ability to function and heal itself. This healing can be negatively affected if someone has too much stress – physical, chemical or emotional. As an allied health practitioner Dr Brad can assist in identifying these areas of stress and work towards removing or reducing them.

“I have a passion for health, healing and education and I believe that my job is to help to improve the function of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system to enhance the health and well-being of the whole body.”

Her aim is to empower her patients by helping them work through their pain and to offer strategies to achieve optimal health and wellbeing through chiropractic care.

Dr Mia works with people of all ages and uses several treatment techniques tailored to individual needs: including Diversified chiropractic techniques (manual adjusting), Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT), Activator, Muscle Energy Techniques, Active Release Technique (ART), and exercise prescription as part of her treatments. She is always seeking to stay up to date, improve, and gain new techniques to provide the best possible treatment outcomes.

Dr Mia has a family history of health workers which shaped her decision to study to be a chiropractor as a mature aged student at Macquarie University in Sydney. With a varied work history and life experiences she has a broad perspective on the impacts of pain and dysfunction on daily activities, health and wellbeing. When Dr Mia is not in practice you’ll find her as a mother to her beautiful little boy or hanging out in a yoga studio or at the local markets getting fresh fruits and vegetables for new recipes to try out.
