Dr Daniel Shakespeare
After completing a Bachelor of Business at Newcastle University and entering a career in finance, Dan found himself facing a number of health challenges for which he was prescribed regular ongoing medication. Seeking an alternative, he began chiropractic care — and found that those issues, and a number of others he'd written off as "normal", ultimately resolved.
He fell in love with the science and philosophy behind chiropractic, left his finance career, and qualified as a Doctor of Chiropractic. Having watched his two daughters grow up under chiropractic care from birth, he's made it his mission to help others enjoy the same level of health and vitality.
"Valley Rising is not a practice, nor a business... it is a MISSION."
Dr Josh McNamara
Having been adjusted since birth, Josh has never known life without chiropractic care. It wasn't until later that he truly understood just how important it is for natural development — and how grateful he was to have had that care throughout his life.
"The power that made the body heals the body" is a core principle that resonates deeply with him. Josh loves that chiropractic doesn't aim to treat any condition or ailment, but rather enables the body to interpret and express life better through the removal of vertebral subluxation.
"Being a chiropractor is not a job for me — it's my purpose."
Dr Scott Williams
Scott's chiropractic journey began at the start of his degree — he was never adjusted before then. It wasn't until he started receiving regular adjustments that he began to understand the full benefits. As a rugby league player throughout his life, he found in chiropractic what he needed to stay on the field and keep doing what he loved.
He discovered that preserving health is far easier than waiting to get sick and trying to cure an injury or illness. That philosophy has kept him playing at a high level for many years — and it's what he brings to his patients every day.
"Chiropractic has created so many positive changes in my life — I can't wait to see if it can do the same for you."
