Background and approach
With over a decade of clinical experience across Australia and New Zealand, Dr. Simon Hardy brings an evidence-informed, patient-centred approach to the Morley and Bassendean community. He established Bassendean Chiropractic to offer a different kind of chiropractic experience — one built around longer appointments, honest explanations, and a rehabilitation-focused model that prioritises your long-term independence over ongoing passive treatment.
Clinical philosophy
Chiropractic is grounded in the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. Restoring movement to restricted joints reduces mechanical load and allows the nervous system to function the way it's designed to. That's the foundation — and it's why the adjustment matters.
But pain rarely has a single driver. How you work, how you move, how long you've been managing something — all of it contributes. A thorough assessment looks at the full picture, not just the area that hurts. Treatment is tailored to that picture, not applied generically.
That means realistic care planning, honest explanations, and no open-ended treatment programmes. The goal is to help you understand your body well enough to manage it.
"My goal is to make myself less necessary over time — not more. A good outcome is one where you understand your body better, move better, and need me less."
