How We Got Started

The Spinal Studio was established in 2021, a team of chiropractors, osteopaths and physiotherapists on a mission to reinvent allied health by delivering a different experience and a different standard of care.

We started it because we genuinely thought healthcare could be done better. We never wanted to build somewhere people come in, get 10 minutes of hands on work and are told to come back next week.

We wanted people to actually understand what is going on, have a clear plan and know exactly what we are working towards.

We started with one studio and have grown to nine, but the goal is still the same. Deliver really good healthcare, develop great practitioners and help as many people as we can get back to doing the things they love.

No shortcuts.

Driven by results.

Fuelled by passion.

Designed to the last detail

From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, every part of your visit has been thought through, down to the smallest detail. Four disciplines and recovery sit under one roof, so the person who assesses you and the person who rehabilitates you are down the hall from each other. The spaces are built to motivate you, because the work you do between sessions is the part that decides how this goes.

Obsessive, by choice

We assess properly, we show you what we find as we go, and we explain it in plain language. No jargon, no scaring you with a scan. Then we map the plan backwards from the thing you want to get back to, with milestones you can see coming. We put a great deal into developing our practitioners, because we want every person who walks into one of our studios to get genuinely good care, in every suburb, on every day of the week.

Never just relief

We do not believe in seeing someone, telling them to see how they go, and booking them back in. The first few visits are about reducing your pain and getting you moving again. We do not stop there. We find the root cause of the problem and work on it, so that when you leave us it is far less likely to come back. You leave knowing what the problem is, what to start doing this week, and what the road back looks like.
