About us

Brooke and Jonathan are chiropractors working in Christchurch since 2005, and from the Leinster road Merivale clinic since August 2011.

We provide ACC registered spine and extremity care, with a passion for isolating root causes of musculoskeletal conditions. Techniques include specific joint adjustments, soft-tissue treatment, trigger point therapy, exercises, specific postural and nutritional advice.

What we do

We address a wide range of problems in addition to neck and low back pain, including shoulders, the jaw (TMJ), hips, ankles, pelvis, and musculoskeletal issues throughout pregnancy. We are both trained in Applied Kinesiology, and Brooke has nutritional training through the Australasian College of Natural and Environmental Medicine.

B.Chiro.Sc. M.Chiro. MNZCA. PAK.

After studying Chiropractic at Macquarie University in Sydney I returned to Christchurch in 2005 and completed further study in Applied Kinesiology. After the earthquakes, my wife Brooke and I made the decision to stay in Christchurch with our three boys and opened our Merivale clinic in August 2011. I grew up with Chiropractic and have seen the powerful difference that is achieved when the nervous system is allowed to work as intended, and even more so now in my patients and my own children. I have a personal interest in outdoor pursuits including hiking, trail running, climbing and mountain biking and have considerable experience with the multitude of musculoskeletal considerations and injuries as a result, and thoroughly enjoy the challenges these bring and the solutions Chiropractic provides. It is a real pleasure to work here in Christchurch and share Chiropractic in so many different ways.

Originally from Sydney I have been practising in Christchurch now for the past forteen years. Having completed further studies through ACNEM in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine I have enjoyed combining my skills as a Chiropractor and Applied Kinesiologist with specific nutrition to enhance the musculoskeletal, physiological and emotional well being of the people of Christchurch. I love Christchurch and the people here and I am proud to be raising three little Cantabrians with my Kiwi husband. I am dedicated to the rebuilding here and am honoured to be able to contribute to healing Christchurch.
