Russell established Glenferrie Chiropractic in Hawthorn, Melbourne in 1987 after graduating from RMIT School of Chiropractic in 1983 and working for several years in his native Western Australia.
In 2002 Russell established Parade Chiropractic in Ocean Grove, Geelong, as part of a longer term “sea-change” plan. About 6 years ago Russell moved his Melbourne practice to Chiropractic Balance in Hampton. He now spreads his time working between Hampton and Ocean Grove.
Professional and personal development over the years has seen Russell’s therapeutic approach diversify to encompass the healing possibilities found within a broad variety of Chiropractic and Bodywork techniques.
He draws from traditions and training in orthodox Chiropractic, myofascial therapy, acupressure and shiatsu, trigger point dry needling, exercise rehabilitation and craniopathy.
In addition to treating the full range of ailments traditionally associated with Chiropractors (see services), Russell works and lectures throughout Australia in the field of jaw (TMJ), and head (Craniofacial) pain.
He has contributed to an internationally published textbook on this subject titled “Headache, Orofacial Pain and Bruxism” by Elsevier Press. Over the last 20 years he has been lecturing in the undergraduate program at RMIT and in professional seminars to Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Dentists throughout Australia.
Russell is a member of the Australian Chiropractors Association (ACA). He has met the requirements and been admitted to membership of the Australasian College of Chiropractors (ACC) and the Australian Chapter of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain (AACP) in recognition of his long association and expertise in the treatment of jaw and head pain.
He is married to Angela and has four sons and 3 grandsons (hoping for a granddaughter!!). He is currently in the grip of a mid-life surfing obsession.
