WHY US
Chiropractors and Physiotherapists don’t get along – right?
Wrong.
Not only can we get along very well, but the synergy we create when working together is exceptional.
Our goal is harness that powerful synergy to help you address the root causes of your back pain, and to give you the tools needed to become more resilient in the face of future episodes. We want you to have back pain less often, and when you do have pain, we want you to bounce back faster.
There are many online programs that offer parts of what we bring, but none offer all that we do in a single program. There’s no such thing as a magic bullet or a one-shot wonder to cure back pain, as many ads imply. Most often, multiple factors contribute to an episode of back pain, so getting to the root of all underlying factors is necessary to achieve optimal and lasting benefits. Our program is a comprehensive package of multiple components that help you develop the resilience you need to minimize the impact back pain has on your life.
What we bring you is a cutting edge interprofessional collaborative approach in an easy-to-follow program that combines the best tools for managing back pain, supporting your well-being, and increasing your resilience in the most effective and research-informed ways. We’ve formed connections and alliances over the years with various other health professionals, and we continue to access their knowledge and experience to enrich our program. We combine tips, tricks, tools and advice in a step-by-step customizable program to help you achieve the best possible outcome that’s in line with your specific needs and goals.
This program combines everything that we wish we had time to give to our patients, but don’t have the ability to adequately provide in clinical practice due to time constraints. This program is not designed to replace in-person care, but for some this may be all that’s needed. Whether you use this program on its own, or in conjunction with in-person therapy with a healthcare provider, you will benefit tremendously. For those that also receive in-person care, this program fills in the gaps where the healthcare provider often doesn’t have time to give greater depth of information and instruction.
Our commitment to collaboration, integrity and growth means that we are constantly striving to improve and update our program with the most current and evidence supported information available. With over 50 years (?) of combined clinical experience, and a passion for expanding our own knowledge and resources, we’ll always strive to bring you the very best.
WHY NOW
The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll see results.
There’s no such thing as too soon and it’s definitely never too late to improve your health and well-being, or to access healthier and longer lasting ways to manage your back pain. Back pain doesn’t have to become a chronic debilitating condition. The right tools and the right knowledge right now will go a long way toward improving your immediate comfort and increasing your resilience against future episodes.
No matter what your starting point is, starting now means you’ll end up better off in the days and weeks to come compared to when you started, whether or not you have access to in-person care from a healthcare provider.
Why You Should Spend $1,000,000 With Us
Your health is your greatest wealth.
There’s no way to put a dollar value on comfort, freedom of movement, the ability to fully participate in life with your loved ones, and your ability to go out in the world and enjoy all there is to offer. Whether you love to garden, go to the gym, play with your little ones, volunteer in your community, run marathons, knit or sew, build masterpieces in your workshop, create in the kitchen, help your neighbours, or earn a living by excelling at your career – when pain and disability stop you in your tracks, it’s easy to see how all that we take for granted in life is what matters most. No amount of money will ever make up for losing those things you hold dear.
We can help you overcome the discomfort you feel now, and better navigate the challenges that you face down the road so you recover faster.
What’s your wellbeing, comfort and mobility worth?
Priceless.

“We each have unique strengths that foster trust and a belief in us from our patients that have resulted in successful and time-tested practices.”
Why Us, Why Now, Why Spend $1,000,000 - Murray
Why do people want to work with us?
I am confident that people suffering with back and neck pain, shoulder and knee pain and the like, would be able to sit down with me in a consultation and get contemporary, evidence-based advice and care. My abilities as a chiropractor allow me to guide people everyday to recover from their issues, sustain their recovery, and then start to improve their overall health. I have 25 years of experience doing this, and it allows me a degree of self assurance. I am realistic and humble enough to know that I require a lifelong learning strategy, and I pursue knowledge with the explicit goal of assisting people be their healthiest selves. But that is only me.
We are all capable health care providers. Actually, we are more than that- we all consciously pursue excellence in our care for others. We each have unique strengths that foster trust and a belief in us from our patients that have resulted in successful and time-tested practices. We have been able to carve out a sustained success on our own that most people would be satisfied with. Experience. Constant pursuit of knowledge. Creating solutions. Seeking best practices. Empathetic and caring. Integrity. Reliable. Friendly. Relatable. But this is only each of us on our own.
Why us?
We recognize that by combining our strengths, by merging our efforts, by concentrating on a goal that goes well beyond what we do on our own, we are much more effective.
We combine different perspectives.
Two chiropractors and a physiotherapist. Do you know of many who actually work together?! We do.
Two females and a male.
Rural and urban roots.
Athletic and intellectual.
We have varied personal paths that led to why we do what we do. Our paths crossed because we sought the same thing: making more people feel better. It was in 2015 that we formally began a working relationship, providing care to patients in a government program for low back pain in our region. We actively manage patients together. TOGETHER! And then we saw a way to grow beyond the traditional ways of practicing. We needed to cut through the standard methods to each of you reading this, to empower each of you in a manner that traditional practice does not.
Why should I do this now?
The way that health care is delivered traditionally, is only as effective as the people in your area. You are here reading this because you are not sure that it is enough! To be honest, we also recognized that we were not able to provide “enough” in our offices alone.
We know that the best way to deal with back and neck pain, and many other problems that we see as a physiotherapist or chiropractor, is to involve YOU. Simply, the most effective tool is self management. This method requires something: motivation. And you, just by showing up on our site, have proven that you have the necessary amount of motivation. But you need direction.
Our programs are designed to take you from a point where you recognize that you need to do something for yourself, to having a step-by-step guide to better health. We have the knowledge and experience that you are looking for. And we have the steps laid out to make this journey uncomplicated.
Our approach has always been to collaborate, to be the “team player”, to seek out that which is more than just ourselves. Our team has ALWAYS included you, the patient.
Why should I invest $1 million in you?
The problem of back and neck pain alone is a massive worldwide issue. The burden on the individual in terms of time lost at work, money out of pocket, reduced self worth and vitality, and a perceived life altering, lifelong sentence is growing. The onus on healthcare systems, the lack of access to full and proper care, the disjointed efforts to assist, and the minefield of improper approaches speak to the urgency for a innovative solution.
Did it take a pandemic to show us that in-person care is not the only way to get healthcare? Not for us, but maybe it highlighted this fact for you. People live with their pain until they reach the point that it is no longer tolerable. What is their next step? In the past, maybe they talked to their spouse, their friend, or their co-worker first. It might have led them to call their doctor. Often, that meant medication. Perhaps an x-ray. It might have led you to one of our offices.
In the world we live in today, we know that one of the first things that you do is reach for the mouse. A Google search ensues. There is an inevitable plethora of search results, followed by the agony of figuring out what to trust.
What leads people to know our resource is the best resource? We intentionally unite our extensive knowledge and experience in a truly collaborative fashion. We purposefully seek out the best advice based on the contemporary evidence. We look to provide a resource that is easy to follow, easy to sustain, motivating and interesting. We are perfectionists and realists. Our diverse paths allow for diverse solutions. We know our approaches will be relatable. We know that our approaches will be successful.
It’s simple. So, why hasn’t anyone else done it this way?
It takes a lot of time and effort to sort through all the data, all the methods, and then offer it up to the world. We know how busy it can be in a day-to-day traditional practice. It is difficult to change the tires while the car is rolling down the road. But we have. We have taken a glimpse to the future, and we are prepared to make the future happen now.

“We WANT you to be successful. Our self-management program was crafted always with the CLIENT in mind, striving to make the education clear.”
Why Us, Why Now, Why Spend $1,000,000 - Ronda
Why do people want to work with us?
We have brought together the extensive knowledge and skill set of 2 chiropractors and a physiotherapist with 60+ years of combined clinical experience to create a comprehensive, easy-to-follow self-management program for low back pain that is second to NONE! So often people with low back pain have debated about whether to seek out a chiropractor or a physiotherapist for help. With this program, consider the debate over. Our program allows you to have the best of both worlds by bringing you a chiropractic and physiotherapy collaboration of the BEST patient education and the BEST home exercise program available for the self-management of low back pain! It will not only help you recover from a current bout of low back pain, but it will provide you with the tools to prevent or manage any future episodes of low back pain. Our self-management program was crafted always with the CLIENT in mind, striving to make the education clear and easy to integrate into a person’s daily activities, and the home exercises easy to understand and easy to follow and execute.
We WANT you to be successful. We WANT you to feel good. We WANT you to feel empowered and confident that you can possess all the information you need to help yourself feel great again – information that is readily accessible in the comfort of your own home AND that is accessible at a time when it is convenient for your schedule!
Why should I do this now?
Why wait? If you are struggling daily with low back pain or having your extra-curricular activities brought to a sudden halt because of an acute bout of low back pain, why should you continue to suffer when our program is readily available to you? You shouldn’t wait.
Is low back pain keeping you off of work? Are you dependent on medication to help you manage your low back pain to get through your day or to sleep at night? Is low back pain keeping you away from doing the activities you love to do? The answer to all those questions is that your low back pain does not have to control your life any longer. Our self-management program was designed to improve the quality of life of people suffering from low back pain by giving them the direction and the resources to take back control of their life. There is no better time than NOW to start that journey.
Why should I invest $1 million in you?
In today’s society, access to extended health benefits for services like physiotherapy and chiropractic care is often considered a luxury rather than a given right, limiting a person’s ability to access regulated, high quality health care. In the event that an individual does have extended health care, those benefits are usually limited to a nominal amount, which often does not permit the client financially to receive the extent of treatment they need to not only rid them of their low back pain, but for them to receive enough sessions to acquire all these resources that will educate them to prevent and/or self-manage a future occurrence of low back pain.
Time. There never seems to be enough time to get to appointments on top of work, home and relationship responsibilities, OR the clinic in your area is not open during hours that work with your schedule.
Credibility. So much of what we read on the internet, we can’t be confident that what we have read is valid and coming from a reliable source. One of the goals of our program is to bridge the gap between patient care that is heavily manual therapy-based, and unguided random selection of exercises and education found on the internet to treat low back pain with the hope that it is the information that will finally make you pain-free. Michelle, Ronda and Murray have over 60 years of combined experience working in clinical practice, helping clients suffering with low back pain improve the quality of their lives every day. We are committed to providing evidence-informed care to our clients and are passionate about passing that knowledge and those years of experience onto EVERYONE who wants a chance at being pain-free. Every day we see how much low back pain negatively impacts people’s daily lives and this program we have created allows us to reach as many people as possible to help them to make the quality of their lives BETTER.
