He will be starting to see patients in Crookwell from Wednesday February 4 from 48 Goulburn Street.

He is scheduled to visit every Wednesday afternoon between the hours of 3pm and 7.30pm by appointment.

Dr Peter, in his spare time, is the backline coach of the Bowral Blacks first grade rugby side and family friends with locals James, Beth and Alex Wheelwright.

The move to Crookwell was suggested by the Wheelwrights as there currently is no Chiropractic services in Crookwell.

Dr Peter has a sporting background which led him into chiropractic. He has always had a passion for rugby which was fostered during his time as a boarder at St. Josephs College, Hunters Hill.

In his early twenties he played competitive rugby in Western Australia, before signing a contract to play for Chicago.

Taking part in the U.S National Super League competition took him all across America and after playing a game in Atlanta he was asked whether he would like to take up a full athletic scholarship at Life University to study chiropractic while continuing to play rugby.

“I gladly accepted this opportunity to study at Life University, which is the largest Chiropractic University in the world,” Dr Peter explained.

During his time at the University, Dr Peter thrived on the challenges of balancing his studies with being a full-time athlete.

“I not only discovered from the course that chiropractic is a very varied discipline, gaining knowledge about the whole body and the science that underpins chiropractic, but I also learned the importance of taking a holistic approach.”

Even after leaving university, Dr Peter has continued to expand his knowledge and skills.

He regularly attends technique and research seminars to keep up-to-date with the latest advances in chiropractic, so that he can offer the best possible care to his patients.

While he has a special interest in paediatrics, Dr Peter enjoys working with clients of all ages to help their recovery. He particularly enjoys getting to know his patients.

“By forming a personal relationship I am able to take into account your needs and wishes, which makes sure I can tailor your treatment to offer personalised care.”

At Highlands Family Chiropractic they have great respect for seniors and want to see each one living the most vibrant and healthy life as they possibly can.

In the Southern Highlands area, the senior population is active and vast.

Chiropractic care is proven to help with all sorts of pain.

But you may not know that it also helps with tons of other ailments and contributes to a healthy lifestyle. Under chiropractic care, you may see great improvement with arthritis, back and neck pain, poor sleep, digestion and headaches.

They offer services in nutrition and dietary counsel, guidance on exercise and activity, and how to pursue a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

Their senior patients say their advice helps them tremendously.

At the practice they use gentle adjusting techniques including those that incorporate low force instrumentation.

None of the care they provide is painful.

They speak personally with each patient during the consultation process and before adjusting to make sure your questions are answered and you are comfortable with the care they plan to provide. It is also very important you understand this form of health care is very safe.

“Our gentle techniques are easy on the body,” says Dr Peter.

“We help restore motion in an aging body, and this flows down significantly into your overall health.”

“I believe chiropractic is an excellent way to help athletes, not only with rehabilitation from injury, but also to maximise their athletic performance.“

“I have witnessed firsthand the benefits chiropractic care has on the competitive athlete.”

Under chiropractic care athletes can recover more quickly, elevate their performance, and see improved reaction times.

Chiropractic is a safe, gentle, natural and very effective means for addressing sports injuries and boosting performance. Dr Peter may help with various sprains and strains, concussion, rehabilitation and high performance.

“I’ve been an athlete and I understand both the physical and mental aspects of recovery,” says Dr Peter.

At Highlands Family Chiropractic they are skilled in several different approaches to sports management and can apply whichever method best suits your case and your goals.

Children respond exceptionally well to chiropractic care also.

Unlike adults, their bodies have yet to accumulate damage from trauma and degeneration, and this makes one simple adjustment yield the value of 50 in the typical adult!

With infants, the force of an adjustment is so light that it’s equivalent to the pressure you’d apply when holding a piece of paper between two fingers.

“We’ll answer all of your questions before adjusting your child, and take time to reassure you of the safety and efficacy of chiropractic in children.”

“I love working with children,” says Dr Peter.

“They are fun and bring energy to my practice.”

Kids who are under chiropractic care show improvement with sleep, posture, balance, sports performance, concentration, headaches and back and neck pain.

Dr Peter has a special interest in paediatrics and actively pursues continuing education opportunities within this field.

At Highlands Family Chiropractic they ensure they have the latest information and are up-to-date with the latest paediatric research.
