FINDING WHAT WORKS

Get to know Greentree Chiropractic

At Greentree Chiro, we understand healing. We know and understand the journey because we’ve lived it. Located in Kotara, we’re not just about spinal adjustments; we’re about pioneering a process that nurtures your body’s natural ability to heal. Ian Rufford, our founder, turned his 17-year battle with chronic back pain into a revolutionary five-step healing process. This method doesn’t just address symptoms; it reboots brain connections and jumpstarts the body’s recovery.

OWNER & PRACTITIONER
Ian Rufford

A Practitioner’s Journey to Healing

With over 20 years of experience, Ian has refined a unique blend of skills to aid healing. His expertise spans chiropractic to Quantum Neurology, focusing on emotional and neurological health. Ian’s personal encounter with enduring pain has deepened his commitment to healing others. His approach starts with the brain, believing firmly that “the brain must heal first, for the body to follow.

Ian’s journey as a practitioner started almost thirty years ago as a Remedial Massage Therapist. He then went on to study chiropractic and a range of energy healing techniques to help him understand and effectively treat not only the body but also the mind-body connection. He tested techniques until he found and perfected the Greentree Five-Step Process. Ian continues to refine his treatment process as new technology and treatment methods become available.
