Learn more about Dr Matthew and how he might be able to help you heal and live your life to the fullest.
A Personal Journey of Transformation
Inspired by his own transformative experience, Dr Matthew chose the path of chiropractic care.
As a young child, Dr Matthew was injured and left without the use of his legs. He was hospitalised for one month with little to no progress until a local chiropractor came to visit. After just one chiropractic adjustment, Dr Matthew was feeling better, and within a few weeks, he was up and walking.
Dr Matthew’s life-changing encounter with chiropractic care ignited his dedication to natural healing. He went on to pursue his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, graduating from RMIT University in 1993 and establishing our practice seven years later.
