Dr. Toneya Hywood first experienced the life changing benefits of chiropractic in her late teens, when upon the suggestion of a family friend, she sought chiropractic care for the relief of chronic severe headaches. After relief of her symptoms Toneya was inspired to share this experience with others, and so started the journey of a career in Chiropractic.
Graduating from RMIT University, Toneya achieved a Bachelor of Health Science and a Masters in Clinical Chiropractic with Distinction. She has enhanced her clinical skill-set with further study in Sacral-Occipital Technique, Activator Methods, SD Protocol, Yoga and rehabilitative and preventative Rock-taping.
Through her own experiences and with a particular interest in the nervous system's response to everyday physical and mental demands, Toneya focuses her clinical efforts in combating what she considers one of our society's biggest health concerns, "The Epidemic of Stress". Headaches, fatigue, anxiety, digestive and hormonal issues, poor sleeping habits and pain are not just symptoms to be managed, but rather a body's attempt to raise awareness of underlying dysfunction. Toneya's goal is to equip her patients with the knowledge and therapeutic assistance required to regain control of their health and wellbeing.
She uses manual adjustments, soft tissue and low force techniques as well as stretches and exercises to improve posture and facilitate nervous system optimisation. Toneya advises stress management techniques and nutritional supplementation.
