Mike and Kirsten started Adapt Chiropractic in January 2022, after working in Townsville since 2016. We saw an opportunity in this area that we have grown to love and call home to establish a business to provide exemplary care to our patients. Our aim is to provide high-quality, effective, and informative health care in a welcoming environment, to get you out of pain and back to doing what you want. The goal for our clinic space was to be fresh, clean, and warm, without being clinical and cold. We have found a place with natural light, lots of indoor plants, and a welcoming feel.


Hi! I’m Mike.

I have been a chiropractor for 9 years since completing my studies at Macquarie University in 2015. I have a clinical interest in Jaw complaints (TMJ) and in helping people with acute lower back pain. But regardless of the issue, I love helping people get out of pain, and back to the
activities that they enjoy! I love taking on Castle Hill and walking my dog along The Strand.

Hi! I’m Aysu,

I graduated from RMIT University with a Bachelor of Health Science and a Bachelor of
Applied Science (Chiropractic) in 2024. I enjoy helping people move and feel better,
supporting them to improve their quality of life and continue doing the activities they enjoy.
I have experience working across private practice, sports, aged care, and community health
settings, treating patients of all ages with a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
With a background in soccer and experience as a sports trainer, I developed an interest in
supporting patients throughout their recovery journey. I have also volunteered with Hands
On India, providing chiropractic care to underserved rural communities in India.
My treatment approach combines chiropractic techniques, adjunctive modalities, and
rehabilitation exercises tailored to the patient’s needs. I aim to provide care that supports
long-term function.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy staying active and spending quality time with family and friends.

Hi! I’m Kirsten.

(on Maternity leave)

I graduated from Macquarie University Sydney in 2015 with a Masters of Chiropractic and moved up to Townsville. (Much to the disappointment of my family who finally had their own live-in Chiropractor). I enjoy helping people get back to what they want to do. I have an interest in treating headaches /migraines and neck pain. I always want to keep learning and doing more study, so I intend on completing further study on scoliosis treatment protocols. I love running, bushwalking and swimming, snorkelling, and diving.

Let’s take a tour!
