Meet our Chiropractic, Sports Massage and Acupuncture Team

Hello!

My name is Antonia and I graduated from the AECC Chiropractic University with a First Class Masters degree in Chiropractic, MChiro.

I am the founder of BodyFit Chiropractic and am forever grateful to have been able to help so many fabulous patients!  

I have a special interest in treating acute back,  neck and Shoulder/ Rotator Cuff Pain and am continually humbled at how quickly chiropractic care can ease these painful injuries and improve the quality of life for my patients.

I believe that it is important to treat the functional cause of the injury instead of chasing the symptoms and so I often incorporate rehabilitative and preventative measures into my treatment plans to ensure long-term recovery.

I have been described as a 'Hybrid Chiropractor' because of the integrated treatment approach I take. 

I take the best bits of Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Sports Exercise and Massage Therapy, to give the best possible care for my patients. 

My treatments include: 

- Chiropractic Adjustments, for spinal mobility, nerve stimulation and muscle activation 

- Dry Needling/ Medical Acupuncture, for muscle, trigger point and soft tissue release, as well as Central Nervous System and Blood Flow Stimulation 

- Activator, for joint mobilisation and nerve stimulation 

- IASTM/ Graston Blade, for fascia release and blood flow stimulation 

- Trigger Point Therapy, Active Release and PIR stretching for targeted soft tissue release 

- Kinesio Taping, for muscle proprioception and activation  

- Postural advice, form and lifting corrections for performance optimisation and injury prevention , exercises and stretches, to further improve at home  

Sports and fitness have always been important features in my life and I enjoy treating sports injuries to help people reach their full potential. 

I have a special interest in treating athletes and incorporate a mixture of  chiropractic care and sports rehabilitation exercises to ensure they reach optimum function and performance in their chosen sport. 

I have a special interest in Paediatric Chiropractic and treating women both during and after pregnancy. There is so much Chiropractors can do for babies and expecting mummies; please feel free to have a chat with me, to see if I can help.  

I love what I do and what I can do for my patients.

Chiropractic lets me use my knowledge and skills to directly impact a persons quality of life; I find it the most rewarding and exciting job and I hope to be able to help you! 

Hello!

My name is Becks and I’m delighted to offer you my skills as a Sports Massage Therapist at Bodyfit Chiropractic! 

I am a level 5 Sports Massage Therapist and employ a variety of soft tissue techniques, including Graston, PIR stretching, Active Release and Trigger Point Therapy.

Having gained my first massage qualification at 16, it’s fair to say, that I’ve been practicing manual therapy for a while now!

I’ve always had a passion for health and fitness and have a special interest in the link between mental health and how it manifests physically throughout the body.

After experiencing my own health struggles, due to a Hyper Mobility Condition, where I developed chronic fatigue, joint pain, muscle soreness and brain fog, I realised just how significant our mental health is, not only in how we feel, but also in the physical symptoms we experience in our bodies.

I have a passion for treating athletes and sports people and know first-hand how frustrating it can be when we can’t perform to our best abilities, due to pain or injury.  

Through Sports Massage, I can directly improve a person’s quality of life, by: helping them reach their goals, flourish in their hobbies and giving them the chance to improve all aspects of their day-to-day life!  

In my spare time, I love sea swimming and paddle boarding and keep as active as I can!

If you haven’t already guessed, I love what I do and am constantly amazed by the human body and its abilities! It’s a privilege to be able to help people achieve their goals and be trusted to be a part of their journey.

It is an extremely rewarding profession and I love every minute of it!

I am thrilled to be a part of the Bodyfit team and I look forwards to meeting you soon!  

Hi! 

I’m Belinda, I’m excited to offer you my skills as a Sports Massage Therapist at Bodyfit Chiropractic!

I am an internationally qualified Massage Therapist with 27 years experience, and I absolutely love what I do. Nothing makes me happier than knowing I’m helping someone gain mobility, be free of pain, be seen and feel heard. 

I am excited to start this journey with Bodyfit Chiropractic and the wonderful like minded team. 

My introduction to Massage therapy began after a devastating motorbike accident, which left my body broken in pieces, nine pieces to be exact. The kindness, care and incredible results  I received during my recovery lead me to study Anatomy & Physiology and various massage therapies to understand what had happened and how my body was capable of recovering. I have experienced the pain and immobility and I have experience the amazing results Massage Therapy can achieve, and that’s where I can offer my skill to you,

My treatments are uniquely designed for every client by using a variety of Soft Tissue and Deep Tissue release techniques, Petrissage (kneading) Effleurage, Myofascial Release which targets fascia, including PIR stretching, Active Release, cross fibre friction and Trigger Point Therapy.

So whether your body has an injury, tension from daily life, sports injury , or you’re training for an event and want your body functioning at optimum ability or you just love a Sports massage, I can help! 

Besides my passion for alleviating pain and immobility through Sports Massage, Pregnancy massage is a huge passion too. Our body’s need the nurturing and care while we grow our little humans . The Second Trimester (13-27weeks)
This is often considered the safest and most beneficial time for pregnancy massage. As the body has adjusted to hormonal changes, massage can help alleviate physical discomforts like back pain, swelling, and muscle tension. In the third trimester (28 weeks onward) 
Massage is still safe, but certain adjustments may be needed. For example, side-lying positions are recommended to avoid pressure on the abdomen, and deep tissue massage might be avoided in certain areas. 

Another passion is Reflexology.  Reflexology involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands that correspond to different organs and systems in the body through Meridian lines. It  promotes relaxation, improves wellbeing, and encourages natural healing by stimulating these reflex points.  Reflexology helps with pain, fatigue, and mood in conditions like multiple sclerosis. Reflexology calms the central nervous system which promotes relaxation and reduces stress by triggering the release of endorphins and enkephalins which help relieve pain and improve mood. 


I look forward to meeting you, seeing which treatments and techniques work best for you and beginning our journey together!
