Dr Debbie Miller has been a chiropractor since 2008, and utilises a variety of techniques such as Diversified, Thompson Drop-Piece, Sacro-Occipital and Cranial Technique, Dry Needling, Activator and soft tissue.  This variety of approaches allows her to work with people who come in all shapes and sizes, ages and health profiles.

She particularly enjoys the fields of:

• Women’s health by focusing on enhancing lower body strength and stability in support of comfortable pregnancies and the challenges of menopause
• Headache management and treatment solutions for tension and migraine headache using cranial release treatments in addition to standard chiropractic approaches
• Posture and deportment treatments and coaching prescriptive to the challenges of combating the “tech” world of smart phones and laptops, an issue for all of us but more particular for teenagers
• The ageing process and the maintenance of a quality of life in movement, physical independence and activities of the day to day or otherwise

Debbie is always guided in the belief that Structure Governs Function.  If our body is structurally sound and strong, it follows then that we have every best chance of leading pain free, healthy, happy lives.

Adam has experience in assisting with a variety of musculo-skeletal conditions ranging from tennis elbow, joint injuries, muscle strains, hip and knee conditions, scoliosis and chronic low back pain to name a few. His approach involves a variety of osteopathic techniques from soft tissue treatments to more direct joint mobilisation and manipulation. He combines his hands-on treatment with patient education about stretching and strengthening, with the intent of restoring optimal function and reducing the pain experience.

His interest in osteopathy began when he was receiving regular osteopathic treatment to assist with his scoliosis (curvature of the spine). While being treated with osteopathic manual therapy, his osteopath educated him on small changes in his daily activities which vastly improved his pain experience. It was these moments of learning about his condition, and the osteopath explaining the techniques and areas being treated that sparked his journey to become an osteopath.

Adam also loves spending his spare time with his two dogs at the beach.
