Chiropractic Life Mt Gambier
In the October long weekend there will be a change of management at the clinic and it will be taken over by a company called Chiropractic Life.Now, you may not have heard of them before but Chiropractic Life owns a number of regional based clinics across Australia and it is owned by a colleague of mine Dr Adam McKenzie who was a Casterton boy born and bred originally. You'll be pleased to know that Chiropractic Life has a very similar approach and ethos to what we and you have known at The Chiropractic Domain.Please indulge me while I'm reading my notes to help me through this:The most important thing I believe for you to know is that Dr Ashley will remain and she will be continuing under Chiropractic Life along with being supported by Dee and Sonia. For those of you who often see me, I will be continuing my next two rotations to Mt Gambier and finishing up in December. I expect that you'll only notice minor changes around the clinic obviously the business name and the logo will change and the branding but Dr Ashley and Dee and Sonia will be still providing their care and they as they always have. So really it will be business as usual or adjustments as usual.On a personal note; because it is a personal thing when you sell a business, I'd just like to share with you that when I bought Mt Gambier from Dr Neville Creed 13 years ago, I was full of energy and and the idea of course was to develop young associates and try and teach them the way that I had approached chiropractic career in my other clinics at that time. I was halfway through my pregnancy my first pregnancy; crazy yes I know, and over the years we've had lots of lovely associates come and serve and, there have been times when there's been gaps in that and I have needed to step in all amongst managing my own clinic at Goodwood and juggling what ended up being five children in the end. So now my family has grown and my older children are spreading their wings. Simone the eldest has recently gone to university to study chiropractic herself and so a while ago she stopped being my full-time clinic manager and we have missed her expertise and her assistance. also my three younger children are now at primary school very busy and my parents are in their 80s so recently when Adam approached me and asked me if I was interested in making a change I came to the conclusion that now was the right time of my life to do that.
What is this announcement?
After 13 years The Chiropractic Domain will become Chiropractic Life
Who is Chiropractic Life?
Chiropractic Life is a group of chiropractic practices around Australia owned by Dr Adam McKenzie.
Who will be my chiropractor?
We are very happy to be able to tell you the Dr Ashley will remain your chiropractor as she is joining the Chiropractic Life team!
Dee and Sonia will continue to support Dr Ashley in continuing your care.
What if I see Dr Paula?
Dr Paula will continue to travel on her usual rotation for the remainder on 2020. Next year you will need to book in to see Dr Ashley for your adjustments instead.
Dr Paula will only be visiting Mt Gambier to spend time with her friends and family.
What is going to change?
You may not notice a lot of changes for the time being. Chiropractic Life and The Chiropractic Domain have more similarities than they do differences.
The initial changes you'll notice will be to aesthetics as logos and colours are updated.
Why now?
It has been 13 years since Creed Chiropractic became The Chiropractic Domain and in that time Dr Paula's family has grown and the energy once held for developing young chiropractors has transitioned to raising children. The support Dr Paula had from previous practice manager Simone has also reduced since Simone starting studying Chiropractic herself in 2019.
Dr Paula and her whole team are incredibly proud of what has been achieved, and though some sadness is felt we are all very excited about the change to Chiropractic Life.
When is this happening?
The October long weekend is the official change over period.

I do remember thinking back in 2007 that with this project i wasn't sure how long i would be involved but I knew that I needed to be a steward. Now that building has housed a chiropractor clinic for over 50 years so there is a legacy there and the concept of being a student steward is to leave something better than the way you have found it. And I hope Neville would be proud that I have done that I'm also quite confident in handing the baton over to um Dr ash and Dee and Sonia that they will continue that legacy certainly under the watchful management and guidance of Dr Adam and his team at Chiropractic Life.I have had to record this a few times and I needed to use notes because I was getting emotional when I was recording it before and so yes I do feel some sadness at stepping away from the clinic happy sadness particularly from those of you i have looked after over the years I do plan to be still a part of the Mt Gambier community but in my personal life due to my husband's connection with family and friends down in the Mount.I do plan to have a farewell event when I finish to say goodbyes to some of you and I do have two more adjusting days being Thursday October 22nd and December the 3rd. I do want to thank you sincerely even those who don't know me for coming and supporting the clinic over the many years. I have done my best to ensure standards of genuine care for the clients that have come I really also appreciate you welcoming me into your life for those of you who do know me personally.It has indeed been an absolute privilege to know you and to care for you. I'm not going to say goodbye right now I'm just going to say see you later before i get too upset and thank you for your patience and thank you for listening to me tonight.
🚫COMMON MISTAKES OF FOAM ROLLING🚫
1 - Do NOT leave it unattended around a puppy☠2 - You're too quick. To get the benefits you need to go SLOW🐢 and hold the pressure on those juciy trigger points!3 - You're holding your breathe. When you do you also hold more tension in your muscles! We are trying to relax them right?? Top tip count using your breathes not by seconds!🙃4 - You're trying to roll only the sore areas - remember sometimes the area of pain is not the area of dysfunction. Keep in mind not to foam roll on a fresh injury!🤕5 - You're starting at the wrong end and rolling the wrong direction. Alway roll towards the heart. It allows for better blood flood and waste drainage. Get those toxins out☢Also keep an eye out for upcoming dates for foam roller classes - back by popular demand!🙌
STEPtember 2020
Now STEPtember is a fundraiser for cerebral palsy for those young people who cannot through wish or want to be able to move in the way they would necessarily like to due to their condition. So I thought it was a great excuse for my team to once again get movingand to meet the challenge of 10,000 steps per day.Now we had a competition last year within the team and out CA at Mount Gamber; Sonia absolutely smashed us and did an enormous amount of steps. I was right up her alley not far behind her but she was the step queen. But the message I want to bring to you is it doesn't matter so much how many thousands of steps you managed to achieve over the whole month but consistency of making sure you're moving enough each day is actually part of changing your life because if you can keep that habit up that means that overall you're going to be moving and our body is going to benefit in just so many ways.So dust off your footwear go get yourself some new footwear there's a number of great places you could check that out athlete's foot which is in both clinic locations. You could look at the running company which is on Unley road there's also another great company called Sportitude. People who will actually pay the attention to get you good footwear so that when you do walk you have greater comfort.If there's any issues that you notice that evolve from doing extra walking please come and talk to Dr Ashley and I there may be a few little mechanicaltweaks we can help you make to get going so I'd love you to put your best foot forward. Join us if you want to keep up with the tally of how we're all goingpay attention to the clinic and the Facebook posts and get moving for spring and we might just raise a little bit of money for our lovely young people who suffer with cerebral palsy tooTake care everybody

T&C's: this is a 15 minute spinal screen and posture photo only. no treatment is included. no obligation to book in as a new patient for a full assessment.
What's Included?
Good posture is important because when we position the body in the correct sitting and standing postures, there is even pressure on the spine, its surrounding muscles and ligaments. Having good posture can reduce physical stress on the body.
Deviation from normal posture can weaken and shorten the muscles around the spine causing imbalances in the body, leading to pain and symptoms.
Poor pelvis alignment may affect your postural endurance meaning that you may be in pain when sitting or working.
Stressed Much?
However, the overall theme is that with the upheaval in your lives, there have been worries, extra emotions and some anxiety for many of you. Please be reassured, you’re experiencing a normal response to a very stressful, unprecedented situation.I know some of you have lost your jobs, your livelihoods are in the mix, or your workload has increased. You might be feeling worried about your health and the economy and how it affects your household. You also may have wondered why your body responds in a certain way; so I have recorded a half-hour webinar to help explain what happens to your body when you’re stressed.I hope that you find the webinar useful. I am very happy to answer questions or discuss the content more with you when you next come to the clinic and Dr Ashley can answer your stress questions in Mt Gambier if I don’t see you myself.For some of you, it would be time to do a progressive comparative review including our special EMG/ & HRV stress scan to see how you’re going and what you can do to increase your body’s resilience as we head into the cooler months.We can also announce in Goodwood that Hugh Gilchrist is once again able to commence his remedial massage service as of this week – many of you would have missed his healing hands!Stay well and I will see you soon,Dr PaulaThe REAL New Year
