Meet our receptionist, Becca!

Being part of a family-focused team that genuinely cares and helps people feel their best is what she enjoys about her role.

Meet Dr James!

James grew up in the Manawatū/Whanganui and Rangitīkei regions, where his rural upbringing saw him often helping out on dairy, sheep, and beef farms. After finishing high school, he moved to Auckland to study at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.

After graduating, James returned home and has now spent 13 years serving the Whanganui and surrounding communities as a chiropractor. He is also proud to be part of a family-run practice with a history stretching back almost 100 years.

When he is not in the clinic, James enjoys getting stuck into woodwork, keeping up with technology, tinkering in his shed, and occasionally trying his hand at brewing.

A proud local with strong rural roots, James is passionate about serving the community he calls home.

She has a real passion for caring for families at every stage of life to help keep people doing what they love and feeling their best.

Outside the practice Sam is kept busy with her two kids and loves spending time in her garden growing too many dahlias (if there's such a thing!)

Back to school spine tips 🎒📚

A backpack that is correctly fitted to your child can help reduce extra stress on your child's spine and shoulders, as well as help to maintain good posture.

Here are our top tips for healthy backpack use:
✅️ Choose a backpack with two wide padded straps (always worn on both shoulders).
✅️️ The pack should sit no lower than the hips.
✅️ Keep the weight less than 10-15% of your child's body weight.
✅️️ Pack the heaviest items close to the spine.
✅️️ Encourage your child to bend their knees when lifting their bag.

A few small adjustments can make a big difference to growing spines 🌿
