Francine O’Brien
Dip Health Sciences; Holistic Kinesiology. ATMS # 21255
Francine’s first experience with Kinesiology was with a Chiropractor trained in Applied Kinesiology. During his treatments she was fascinated to learn that a recurring neck related issue was also connected to menstrual issues and a lapse in energy during her teen years. This was the beginning of her fascination with the intricate tapestry of the body mind and spirit.
After studying Photography and Auslan (Australian Sign Language), she soon learnt that these forms of communication were preparing her for her studies in Kinesiology.Francine enjoys treating conditions such as stress, and stress related diseases, depression and chronic illness.

Michael Simpson
Doctor of Chiropractic (DC), Active Release Techniques Practitioner
Using a combination of digital pressure and tissue motion, Michael is able to selectively “stretch” specific soft tissue structures which “breaks-up” adhesions both within, and between, tissues. By reducing the adhesions in the tissue, using specific exercises, and doing daily stretches that are prescribed, the body is better prepared to repair and replace the formerly fibrotic tissue with healthy tissue.
