Where I trained & where I practise
My double degree is from RMIT, a Bachelor of Applied Science in Chiropractic alongside a Bachelor of Health Science. The health science half shaped how I think as much as the chiropractic half did. Before I commit to any technique or plan, I want a reason for it that would hold up if you asked me to explain it. My week runs between two very different parts of Melbourne. Footscray is market stalls and shift work. Mickleham is new estates and the long drive down the Hume. I speak Mandarin and Malay as well as English, which matters more in the inner west than people expect. Taking a pain history in someone’s first language usually gets me a better history, and a better history gets a better plan. On the technique side I use Diversified adjusting and hold certifications in SOT and Thompson, so I can scale the force of treatment to the person rather than the other way round. I’m a member of the Australian Chiropractors Association. My training is current, and I’d sooner check my thinking against the evidence than against habit.
