A positive migration story that is close to home.
At West Geelong Chiropractic we have watched Lydie Carret Remedial Massage therapist choose Australia as her home, to grow a thriving business, helping to take pressure off the regional healthcare system & create a more healthy and happy community.
However our country and its migration bureaucracy has made her last 8 years in Australia difficult for her to achieve โa fair goโ, and to feel welcomed and grateful for her investment in our regional community.
Thankyou to SBS French SBS Australia for highlighting her story.
We hope that she can be helped by her local parliamentarians Richard Marles MP Christine Couzens MP before itโs too late.

- Why do people see a Chiropractor? -
This is a short list why some people chose to come through West Geelong Chiropractic this week so far.
Can you spot the common theme? ๐ง๐ค
Itโs that all these people have a nervous system that is not functioning optimally. ๐ง ๐
Chiropractors assess your spine & nervous system to see what isnโt working well, and provide some input to allow your brain and body to work more optimally.
When your nervous system is working well: pain reduces, balance gets better, emotional regulation improves, muscles relax, digestion normalizes, sleep feels more restful, you feel more like yourself.
So if you need a nervous system tune up, West Geelong Chiropractic would love to help you feel your best! ๐คฉ

I just finished up my work day and was putting away my files. ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
This may be an incredibly boring photo, but I was struck by the significance of it.
Some of these files are thick and showing wear.
These are people who have been coming to West Geelong Chiropractic to see me for in some cases 14 years!! ๐คฏ๐ณ
Some of these files have the same surnames because I see the whole family, sometimes 3 generations. ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ต๐ผ๐ด๐ป
Some are new clients, generally theyโve been referred to see me by their friends or family. ๐ฅฐ
So as I was putting the files away, it occurred to me that while these may look like boring Manila folders,
I see family trees,
I see friendship groups,
I see work colleagues,
I see sporting teammates,
I see school friendships,
I see a community. ๐
So if you have a boring Manila folder here, know that I appreciate you being part of West Geelong Chiropractic ๐๐ป๐ฅฐ

Thanks so much to Australian Chiropractors Association for bringing Dr. Tony Cassis to town so we could advance our knowledge of the dizzy client and some of the functional neurological tools to improve outcomes for those with Cervicogenic dizziness, BPPV, vertigo & concussion.
At West Geelong Chiropractic we check ALL our clients EVERY visit for balance and dizzyness.
Itโs a very important marker for neurological health and in our aging population a significant marker of life expectancy.
If you or someone you know is having trouble with balance or dizziness, get in touch, weโre here for you!
