About Us
Chiropractor – Dr. Des Deen
June 2026 marks 30 years since I first stepped into a clinic - and honestly, I still can’t quite believe where the time has gone.
My career started when I left Sydney for a small practice in Hobart, Tasmania, before life took me to Los Angeles and then London, where I ended staying away from Sydney for almost 20 years. Some of my favourite years were spent working in West London in Hounslow, near Twickenham. Treating everyday folk and professional rugby at the same time. Eventually, Sydney called me home. The people here are active, motivated and genuinely invested in their health and active wear is a thing here! (Though I’ll be honest it wasn’t the heat and humidity that won me over).
Thirty years in, I love this work just as much as I did on day one.
Chiropractor - Dr Lidiane Barros
Lidiane is a Chiropractor with over 18 years of clinical experience, dedicated to helping people move better and live with less pain. She treats common and often debilitating conditions such as lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, shoulder pain, and other musculoskeletal issues.
Her approach is hands-on, practical, and personalised, using a combination of chiropractic adjustments, muscle release techniques, dry needling, and tailored rehabilitation exercises to reduce pain, improve posture, and restore normal movement. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, Lidiane works to address the underlying causes of pain, helping patients regain confidence in their bodies and return to daily activities with greater ease.
