Qualifications and memberships
Brooke always knew that her future lay in helping people improve their health and wellbeing. Her passion for chiropractic started early, as Brooke has been a chiropractic patient herself since 3-weeks of age. This personal experience inspired her study chiropractic, so she could also help others.
After 5 years of study to become a doctor of chiropractic, Brooke completed the double degree in chiropractic science at Murdoch University. During her time at university, Brooke attended many extra-curricular technique seminars and conferences, making her proficient in multiple chiropractic and musculoskeletal techniques, in addition to the extensive university curriculum.
Over the past few years, Brooke has been involved in various community placements. This has included several national and international sporting events, as well as a self-funded charity trip to Siliguri, India, where Brooke and some of Australia’s top chiropractors provided basic medical and chiropractic care to the local village people. The Indian experience was invaluable, as Brooke gained extensive experience in working with a variety of complex health conditions and disorders that she would have never witnessed in Australia.

Brooke takes the time to listen, examine and address the underlying causes of a patient’s discomfort or health concerns. The initial consultation usually involves taking a thorough case history, and performing a complete chiropractic, orthopaedic and neurologic examination so as to identify the primary areas of concern. If x-rays or other tests such as MRI are required, a referral will be arranged.
An individualised treatment plan is then discussed and developed for each patient. Additionally, Brooke will guide her patients through an appropriate rehabilitation and/or maintenance program for long-term musculoskeletal health, including preventative care. This usually takes place on the second visit, just prior to treatment.
Brooke draws on a variety of specialised chiropractic techniques, including Diversified/Gonstead adjusting, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Thompson Technique, activator methods, joint mobilisation/traction, various soft tissue therapies and visceral techniques, which can help ease the symptoms associated with internal organ dysfunction.
