Inner-city practice re-brands

New owner of chiropract­ic centre

SANDIE Cavanagh has been visiting the same chiropract­ic centre in town since she was three years old. Now, she owns it.

For more than 50 years the Russell St practice has been known as the Kennedy Chiropract­ic Centre.

Mrs Cavanagh and her husband Tim bought the business and re-branded, naming it Elevate Chiropract­ic and Wellness Centre.

“We purchased the business from Tracy Kennedy-Shanks who had bought it from her father Hart Kennedy. Both of them still work in the practice,” she said.

“It has taken a while for me to re-brand as I have two small children. I couldn’t have done it without the help of my amazing team, especially Carolyn who does all the behind-thescenes work that I can’t get to.”

Mrs Cavanagh worked at the centre as a chiropract­ic assistant when she began studying pre-chiropract­ic at the University of Southern Queensland in 2006.

After four years at the New Zealand Chiropract­ic College she returned in 2011.

Elevate offers gentle lowforce chiropract­ic and a few of the chiropract­ors also use manual techniques for those who prefer it.

Nutritiona­l therapy practition­er Amanda Ford, from Cascade Wellness, is also working out of the centre.

Mrs Cavanagh said she saw people for many different reasons, from the very young to the elderly.

Elevate Chiropract­ic and Wellness Centre is open from Monday to Saturday.
