Charles is a New Zealand–trained chiropractor who helps people move with more confidence, recover from injury, and get back to the activities that matter most.

His approach is calm, clear, and practical. He takes time to understand your pain, explain what may be contributing to it, and build a plan that suits your body, your goals, and your lifestyle. For some people, that goal is returning to sport or gym training. For others, it is walking the dog, gardening, working comfortably, sleeping better, or playing with the kids without pain.

Charles combines hands-on treatment, movement assessment, exercise-based rehabilitation, and education. His aim is not just short-term relief, but helping you understand your body and feel confident using it again.

Patients who may be a good fit for Charles include people with back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, acute injuries, post-operative rehab needs, mobility issues, and those wanting to improve strength, movement, and long-term resilience.

Outside the clinic, Charles enjoys rock climbing, hiking, gym training, and sport. His own love of movement shapes the way he works with patients: practical, goal-focused, and centred on helping people feel capable again.

Book with Charles if you want clear answers, a practical plan, and support to move better with confidence.
