🏑 Congratulations to the Central Otago Women’s Hockey Team! 🎉

We’re incredibly proud to have sponsored such a talented and dedicated group of athletes through the tournament. An amazing achievement to come second place against so many competitive teams from around the South Island.

A special shoutout to our very own Physiotherapist, Sophia Kersten, who not only played alongside the team but also kept everyone in top form with her expert care and support. Your dual role as player and physio truly embodied the spirit of commitment and community 💪👏

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey — we can’t wait to see what you achieve next!

Starting in October, Meg Davidson will be joining the Queenstown Health team new Physiotherapist and taking over from Mark Sheehy.

"Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, my love for the outdoors and passion for health and movement were shaped early on. Playing competitive tennis for many years gave me a firsthand understanding of both the power and fragility of the human body. After experiencing my own musculoskeletal and orthopaedic injuries, I developed a deep respect for the rehabilitation process—not just the physical recovery, but the emotional resilience it demands.

That personal journey led me to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy at the University of Cape Town. Working in South Africa’s healthcare system was incredibly rewarding and taught me the value of innovation, empathy, and adaptability in resource-limited settings.

What truly motivates me is seeing people rediscover what their bodies are capable of—especially when they’ve been told otherwise. I’m passionate about working in rehabilitation, particularly in neuromuscular, orthopaedic, and neurological conditions, and I strive to bring both empathy and clinical expertise to every person I work with"

We are excited to have Meg joining our team and bringing her skill sets to our team.

We’re living longer than ever before. But are we living better?
While life expectancy increases, healthspan—the years we live in good health—is shrinking.

Our current healthcare model is built for crisis management, not prevention. It waits for disease instead of working to prevent it. And it rarely addresses the underlying causes: inflammation, stress, lifestyle mismatch, and system breakdown.

Chronic inflammation has become the hidden engine behind many of today’s most common diseases - from arthritis to Alzheimer's. But this isn’t inevitable. It’s a response to modern living: ultra-processed diets, sedentary routines, disrupted sleep, and chronic stress.

Here’s where chiropractic enters the conversation.

As a profession rooted in whole-person, neuro-musculoskeletal health, chiropractic is uniquely positioned to lead the lifestyle and longevity revolution.

Chiropractors:

◾Address root causes, not just symptoms
◾Help patients manage stress and inflammation
◾Support nervous system regulation
◾Guide sustainable lifestyle changes
◾Collaborate across disciplines for whole-person care

Chiropractic care isn’t just for back pain, it’s a preventative, proactive model of health. It helps people thrive, not just survive.

In this new Knowledge Hub article, Dr Faye Deane, explores the intersection between longevity science, lifestyle medicine, and chiropractic practice, with emphasis on inflammation, the gut-brain axis, and the evolving role of chiropractors in public health.
