Thorough assessment · Clear answers · Treatment that fits
Show me the move that hurts. Back pain when you lift can start with a stiff hip or shoulder, so I'll watch you do it, explain what I see, and treat more than just the sore spot.

Does this sound familiar?
- Your back or neck stiffens a little more each week at the desk.
- A big day of lifting, gardening or training, and it flares up again.
- You've had treatment before. It settled, then it came back.
- You'd like someone to properly explain what's going on.
That's the work I enjoy most: looking for the pattern behind the pain, treating it, and showing you what you can do yourself.
Common conditions
What I help with
Desk workers, tradies, parents and active people across Morley, Bassendean and Beechboro.
-
Back pain
Often linked to how you lift, bend or sit. Stiff hips or a tight mid-back can add to the strain, so I check those too.
-
Neck pain
Desk hours and screen time load the neck. I look at your upper back and shoulders too, as they often play a part.
-
Headaches
Some headaches are driven by the neck. I assess whether yours might be, and treat the joints and muscles at the base of the skull.
-
Sciatica & disc pain
Pain into the buttock or leg often involves an irritated nerve. Hands-on care, exercise, and a flexion-distraction table on site.
-
Shoulder pain
Your shoulder relies on the shoulder blade and upper back to move well. I assess all three, not just the joint.
-
Desk & posture pain
Stiffness that builds through the working week. Hands-on care plus practical changes to how you sit and move.
-
Sports & lifting injuries
Strains and niggles from training, manual work or weekend sport, with a plan built around what you want to get back to.
-
Seniors & mobility
Staying active and independent. Low-force options and exercises suited to how you move now.
How I work
What you can count on
-
I watch the move that hurts
Lifting, reaching, sitting, running: whatever bothers you, I'll watch you do it and look at how your hips, shoulders and spine share the load, not just the sore spot.
-
Firm or gentle, your choice
Hands-on adjusting if you want it. Don't want your neck cracked? You don't have to. Low-force options are always available.
-
Options, not pressure
I'll recommend what I think will help most, then we'll work out what's realistic for you.
-
Honest advice
If chiropractic isn't the right fit for you, I'll tell you and point you to someone who is.

I watch you do the moves that hurt, from work tasks to everyday bending and sitting, and check how your hips, shoulders and spine share the load. Orthopaedic and neurological testing where it's needed.
-
Clear explanation
What I think is contributing, what I recommend and why, before any treatment.
-
Treatment and a plan
Hands-on treatment if it's suitable, exercises for home, and an honest idea of how many visits it may take.

Your chiropractor
Meet Dr Simon Hardy, Chiropractor
I became a chiropractor after years in the gym, watching people train around old injuries without really knowing what was going on. More than 10 years on, across clinics in Australia and New Zealand, I still enjoy the puzzle most when someone feels like they've tried everything. Away from work I'm rock climbing, golfing, surfing and chasing my dog about, so I know how much it matters to keep doing what you love. Yours might be chasing up the grandkids, keeping fit for work, cycling or just feeling mobile. Whatever it is, that's what I'm working towards with you.
