Kia ora, I am Ihipera Mackey a doctor of Chiropractic. I’m from Gisborne on the East Cost of New Zealand, and I played a variety of sports growing up. My primary sports are kick boxing and muay Thai, where I have represented New Zealand internationally and, as of last year, became the WKA Champion in kick boxing. I had numerous injuries from playing sports as a child, so I went to the chiropractor every week to keep my body in top condition and ensure that my brain-body connection was working as it should Chiropractic care can improve bodily communication, reduce stress, and improve sports performance.
