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.”
