Dr Canh Ly
Chiropractor
Canh grew up in a small Canadian town, he journeyed to Sydney for his Bachelors and Masters in Chiropractic Science at Macquarie University, and then settled in rural Mount Gambier. His chiropractic philosophy centres on the notion that movement is medicine, and he tailors treatments to patient’s individual needs. His clinical interests lie in injury prevention, and he assists clients with a broad range of concerns, ranging from pain associated with desk work to acute sports-related injuries.
Techniques Canh utilizes include:
- Soft tissue techniques
- Dry needling
- Stretching and rehabilitation advice
- Joint mobilisation and manual adjustments
- Activator
Canh thinks that by providing proper education, patients gain insights into the root causes of their issues, empowering them to prevent recurrences and limit future injury risks.
Outside of work, he enjoys free diving, training at the gym, boxing, and supporting the Vancouver Canucks in ice hockey.
Dr Naomi Fleming
Chiropractor
Naomi, a lifelong Portland resident, has devoted herself to delivering chiropractic care to the local community since 1992.
She started her journey at Henty Chiropractic Centre, working alongside her mother, Helen McKenzie, who was also a chiropractor. Chiropractic seems to run in the family, as Naomi's daughter, Eloise, is now also practicing as a chiropractor on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Naomi's practice centres around muscle testing techniques, particularly applied kinesiology, enabling her to identify areas of weakness accurately. She combines manual adjusting, activator methods, blocks, and soft tissue therapy to provide comprehensive and effective treatment.
