Background/Approach


Johanna is a Wholistic Chiropractor who works in a gentle way specialising in the treatment and care of families, newborns, children and pregnant women.

She is registered with the NSW Chiropractors Registration Board and is a member of the Chiropractors Association of Australia. She holds both a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science & Master of Chiropractic.

Johanna's philosophy focuses on gentle chiropractic care for all ages ranging from:

  • Newborns - sleeping, breastfeeding, colic or reflux problems
  • Children - learning &/or behavioural difficulties
  • Adults - sciatica, headaches and migraines, sinusitis, hip pain
  • Pregnant women - natural birthing with optimal fetal positioning, low back pain, hip pain
  • Adults and elderly care - coordination, balance problems, stress, fatigue, sleeping problems
Johanna is also qualified in a range of techniques such as:

  • Diversified Technique (manual adjustments) - classic chiropractic technique which addresses biomechanical dysfunction throughout the spine.
  • Applied Kinesiology - muscle testing to help diagnose area of dysfunction from muscular, skeletal, nutritional to Chinese Meridians.
  • Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT) - normalising the relationship between the pelvis and the skull, correcting distortion patterns in the nervous system. Includes cranial work.
  • Activator Technique - incorporates the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic examinations using the Activator analysis & Activator instrument.
  • Acupunture - For musculoskeletal complaints, based on chinese medicine. Also useful for stress, sleeping difficulties, for helping to turn babies and general complaints.
  • Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) - assess & alleviate the internal stressors that are creating barriers to health and success.
  • Webster (Pregnancy) Technique - pelvis misalignment causes tightening & torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments. These tense muscles & ligaments have a constraining effect on the uterus preventing baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth.
  • Nutrition - Johanna will provide advice and work with the qualified Naturopaths & Herbalists for your better health.
  • Learning & Behavioural Disorders - inappropriately retained primitive reflexes may disturb: behaviour, concentration, learning, memory, posture, perception, hormonal balance, and gross or fine motor control.
What to expect in a consult with Johanna

Your first visit with Johanna will be about 45 minutes long & involve a full medical history, full spinal examination, postural assessment, orthopedic testing, muscle testing (applied kinesiology), neurological testing & treatment. If required Johanna may refer you for x-rays.

On your second visit, there will be discussion of changes, report of findings, reassessment and treatment. This will take about 30 minutes.

Ongoing visits are usually 15-20 minutes long and offer treatment & periodic comparative assessments. Extended time visits are available.

Chiropractic facilitates efficient neural feedback between the musculo-skeletal system from head (cranium) to tail (pelvis). If this cranio-sacral system isn't functioning correctly it may lead to symptoms such as; headaches, developmental delay, muscle imbalance and hormonal imbalance.

These are usually corrected with gentle adjustments to the spine, cranium and sacrum. A good analogy is that we are fixing your body's hardware so that its software can operate better.

Johanna works side-by-side with Behavioural Optometrists, Naturopaths, Remedial Massage Therapists, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and Osteopaths.
