St Leonards Chiropractor :: Dr Vivienne Brimelow
From an early age, I had always wanted to be a Medical Doctor.
“It was my local General Practitioner who frequently encouraged me to pursue a career in Chiropractic, as many of his patients were not responding to conventional medicine approaches to pain and injury, but were achieving magnificent results through regular Chiropractic care.
I scheduled my first appointment with the local Chiropractor, for the unrelenting migraine headaches I was experiencing”.
“The results were almost instantaneous after my first adjustment, the tension had reduced as if a huge weight had been lifted from my neck and shoulders. It was during this moment that I decided I wanted to be a Chiropractor”.
Chiropractic Education
Vivienne began her undergraduate chiropractic education at Macquarie University. Outside of university hours, Vivienne was running a very successful Injury Management and Rehabilitation business in a St Leonards health club. It was here where she discovered the benefits of exercise prescription and rehabilitation to assist patients with injury management and long-term health & wellness.
After completing her undergraduate studies, Vivienne commenced a master of chiropractic degree. Courses included anatomy, histology, pathology, rehabilitation, pharmacology, orthopaedics, neurology, radiology, radiography, diagnosis, nutrition, sports medicine, chiropractic adjustment techniques and patient care.
Chiropaedic
After graduating in 2005, Vivienne established her chiropractic, sports performance and injury management practise in the St Leonards area.
Working adjacent to a medical practise, and receiving countless patient referrals from the resident doctors, Vivienne has adopted an holistic approach to health care and injury management.
“I will always remember my first visit to the Chiropractor, and the concerns and apprehension I had. So I make it a point to explain everything in advance, answer questions and attempt to over-communicate and to educate. Patients appreciate that”.
Passionate Road & Track Cyclist
Vivienne is a passionate road and track cyclist, and sponsors the Bicisport Cycling Club, the Australian Time Trial Association (ATTA) and Track Racing (FNWTR/RAW). She enjoys many hours involved in indoor and outdoor sports, and visits her Chiropractor at least once a month to maintain optimum health and sports performance (if that sounds interesting, be sure to ask Vivienne to explain).
