ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE chiropractor in melbourne
A Chiropractic Brain First Approach™ for Peak Athletic Performance
Peak athletic performance starts in the brain, not the muscles.
Strength, speed, coordination, reaction time, balance, and recovery are all driven by how efficiently the brain and nervous system process information. When this system is underperforming, athletes may plateau, compensate, or become more injury prone even with excellent training.
A Brain First Approach™ focuses on
optimising neurological efficiency so performance gains are supported safely and sustainably.
Common performance limiting issues
Coordination and balance limitations including reduced stability and spatial control.
Speed and performance changes including slower reaction time reduced agility and power output.
Musculoskeletal strain and recovery issues including ongoing tightness recurrent injuries fatigue and delayed recovery.
Movement quality and return to sport challenges including poor movement efficiency and difficulty returning after injury or concussion.
When to see a Sport Performance Chiropractor
This approach is suitable if you:
• Want to optimise athletic performance
• Feel stuck at a performance plateau
• Experience recurrent injuries or tightness
• Want to improve coordination, speed, or recovery
• Are returning to sport after injury or concussion
Performance care is relevant for both competitive athletes and active individuals.
Why a Chiropractic Brain First Approach™ works
Athletic performance depends on how the brain integrates input from vision, balance systems, joints, muscles, and the environment.
If this integration is inefficient, the body compensates. These compensations can limit performance, increase injury risk, and slow recovery.
A Brain First Approach™ focuses on:
• Improving brain body communication
• Enhancing balance and coordination systems
• Optimising eye movement and spatial awareness
• Reducing nervous system overload
• Supporting faster recovery and adaptation
This approach addresses performance at its source rather than pushing the body harder.

TREATMENT OUTCOMES
I have been seeing Anthony for over 12 months as a camera operator Snowboard and Surfer. My body gets used in strenuous ways on a regular basis. Anthony has provided outstanding support to not only get my spine in order but also to help with neurological unblocking which has increased my physical and mental capabilities.
Highly recommend.

Anthony has supported me to change my life for the better! My shocking balance issues, my back and neck irregularities and overall general wellbeing have all improved thanks to his integrative approach. I am no easy case, yet he took such a gentle, proactive and respectful approach to my healing. I will be forever grateful our paths crossed. My body is stronger and my outlook positive. Thank you Anthony!

I highly recommend Dr Tony's Neuro rehab.
I have had significant breakthrough in the areas of chronic illness such as Dysautonomia/POTS, vestibular issues, PTSD, fibromyalgia/chronic pain and neck whiplash injuries.
My balance, tone and posture has significantly improved and chronic pain is now minimal.
Emotional traumas stored in the brain and body have been released in a safe and trusting environment.
