Dr Abbey Wiseman
BSc (Chiropractic), MChiro, Certified Applied Kinesiology
Dr. Abbey Wiseman is a Macquarie university graduate of chiropractic, having obtained both a Bachelor of Science in chiropractic and a Master of Chiropractic. Since graduation Abbey has practiced in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales at a family based centre, where she established a thriving paediatric practice based on word of mouth.
Abbey grew up in the chiropractic paradigm and knows first hand the role that effective chiropractic has to play in the lives of the infant to the elderly. She believes in the body’s ability to express its natural state and therefore, given the right help will heal itself naturally. Abbey’s core beliefs regarding wellbeing encompasses chiropractic, nutrition and exercise believing that good heath starts with what we do, what we eat and what we think.
Just as Abbey has been checked regularly by her local chiropractor from 7 months old, Abbey is passionate about adjusting the infant. She believes that prevention and correction should begin young, thereby allowing the body to grow healthy and strong. Abbey has seen first hand the powerful role chiropractic can play on not only the child but also on the family unit. A child who is comfortable in their own skin is happier and more interactive with their environment whether that be at school or at home.
With a desire to be holistic and specific in her care as a chiropractor Abbey’s postgraduate studies have been focused on providing gentle and effective care for all ages, from newborn to the elderly. Abbey practices chiropractic using Applied Kinesiology (AK), Sacrooccipital Technique (SOT), Webster technique (for pregnancy) and Gonstead.
Abbey deeply treasures the role she has to play as a Chiropractor in the lives of her patients and looks forward to helping you and your family reach your natural inborn potential.

Dr Brad Jones
BSc (Chiropractic), MChiro, Certified Applied Kinesiology
Dr. Brad Jones became interested in chiropractic following an injury to his over worked spine that came about due to the accumulation of many sporting commitments during his teenage years. Being introduced to chiropractic, initially for pain management, Brad developed a great understanding of the wide range of benefits to long term chiropractic care - optimising body function.
Brad began chiropractic study at Macquarie University and after a three year Bachelor degree and two year Masters, he reached his childhood dream of being able to help others.
He has practiced in Erina on the New South Wales Central Coast, Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast, and Glasgow in the United Kingdom. At all clinics, Brad's focus has been on helping all family members achieve better health and wellbeing through chiropractic.
Experienced with many chiropractic techniques, Brad's interest and focus in Applied Kinesiology started back in his final year of University in 2004. Treating young children has always been an interest for Brad. Seeing their movement and behaviour improve dramatically keeps him interested in understanding more.
Outside the office, Brad's interests are all things active and outdoors. He has a particular passion for travel and adventure!
Brad joins the YourBodyWorks team with a vast experience and an in depth understanding of chiropractic. Brad urges all people, young and old, to have their spine and nervous system checked to ensure they are functioning at their best... to get the most out of their bodies for life!

Dr Jill Hopley
BSc, MChiro, NET Certified
Jill graduated from Macquarie University in Sydney, with a Masters of Chiropractic after previously completing a Bachelor of Science (Anatomy) at the University of NSW.
Upon graduation, Jill worked in a fun beachside clinic in Sydney and then relocated to the UK and lived there for eight years. In the UK, she owned a successful and busy chiropractic clinic in the centre of London.
Jill returned to Australia with her husband and twin toddlers and newborn baby. She returns with a passion and enthusiasm to serve the community through chiropractic health and education at Your Body Works.
Jill practices chiropractic using Applied Kinesiology, however as a Certified NET Practitioner, Jill has a special interest in helping people with conditioned physical responses to emotions.
Neuro Emotional Technique recognises that it is normal and part of our survival, to experience emotions and their related physical responses. However, if we are in a weakened state due to poor nutrition, stress or physical trauma, the physical response may not resolve naturally. We may get a physical pattern locked into the body.
Later in our lives when we experience a similar situation, or what the body perceives as a similar situation, the old emotional response kicks in. The body reacts the same way as it did with the original event. This is why some patients always get a locked jaw, tight shoulders, and digestion problems with stress, fear or any other emotions. It is now known that emotions not only reside in the brain but in the body too, hence the term “butterflies in your tummy”, “pain in the neck” and “carrying the world on your shoulders.”
Through a vitalistic, progressive approach of looking at the body’s physical, chemical, toxic and emotional state, Jill is dedicated to helping patients of all ages to live a healthy, vibrant and productive lives.
