Introducing Cleveland Chiropractor Dr Kitty Satiu (Chiropractor)
"It was incredible", continues Dr Satiu (Chiropractor). "I'll never forget my first adjustment. It was as if a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. That's when I decided I wanted to be a chiropractor".
“I played representative netball and tennis throughout high school and after a collision on the court I found myself curled over like a hunch back unable to stand up right. My Father played golf with his Chiropractor, and as a result sought regular chiropractic care- no doubt to improve his handicap. When he had to pick his daughter up early from the school one day, strangely his “golf buddy” the Chiropractor was NOT the first port of call. Days of lower back discomfort and stiffness turned into weeks. Ironically I was with my Father when he went to his next “golf improving” chiropractic appointment. As we walked into the office the Chiropractor took one look at my posture and automatically assumed the appointment was for me! (Talk about being in the right place at the right time). And this is where it all began. I was amazed that the chiropractor associated my lower back discomfort with a previous shoulder injury. After my first chiropractic adjustment, the relief was beyond belief. From just a few gentle manoeuvres I was stunned at how freely I could move - I didn’t understand it, but I loved it.
Whilst she still calls New Zealand home, her tertiary education was completed in Australia. Dr Satiu (Chriropractor) graduated from Macquarie University Sydney where she attained a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science, then went on to complete a two-year Master of Chiropractic degree. During the five years at Macquarie University courses included sciences such as biochemistry, neurology, X ray diagnosis, and various chiropractic techniques. It was in physiology and human anatomy however that Dr Satiu (Chiropractor) recognized her true passion for Chiropractic. Dr Satiu (Chiropractor) has gained vast experience working along side some of the best chiropractors throughout Sydney and Brisbane.
“We love sceptics,” smiles Dr Satiu (Chiropractor). “I still remember the concerns and apprehension I had when I went to the chiropractor for the first time. So we make it a point to explain everything in advance, answer questions and attempt to over communicate. Patients appreciate that.”
Chiropractic is all about optimal health. "Nature needs no help, just no interference", This simple quote is the basis of our philosophy. In practice we apply this principle with both the techniques we use and lifestyle advice. The techniques we use clear interference (or communication problems) between the brain and the body, particularly the spine, which helps the body to heal itself. And the Chiropractic life style avoids the ‘unnatural’ interferences to health such as toxins in our food, cleaning products etc throughout our environment. Most importantly, we find lifestyle habits which will make you thrive. Wellness science is an area which has become very strong now, however this wasn’t the case when I first went to see a Chiropractor. Much has changed.
