My name is Matt le Roux and I was born in Pretoria, South Africa. I was first introduced to Chiropractic at the age of 19 after sustaining a shoulder injury while playing professional rugby. My intense involvement in the sport at the time did not allow me the time to be injured and I was amazed at how effectively and efficiently Chiropractic care supported my recovery. I personally experienced the healing-facilitative, beneficial effects of Chiropractic on my body. Initially, I was unaware of Chiropractic’s full potential, however I quickly became interested in learning more about this unique profession and I am passionate about assisting others to have similar experiences.
I graduated from the University of Stellenbosch in 2002 with a Bachelor of Sport Science, after which I pursued my lifelong passion and graduated from the University of Johannesburg in 2008 with a Master of Chiropractic.
Since graduating, I have worked in various clinics across South Africa and Australia, and have been involved with various sports teams (from weekend warriors to professional athletes). As a lifelong learner, I have attended various training seminars by international experts. My curious nature commits me to engage in continued education and explore the latest research and treatment protocols for my patients and unique challenges. I believe in a holistic approach to any condition, targeting the cause of the concern and not only the presenting symptoms. Ideally, aspects that need to be addressed in every patient are the structural components (e.g., joints, bones, muscles and organs), systemic and acquired toxins (e.g., high mercury levels), deficiencies at cellular level (e.g., low neurotransmitters), as well as emotional aspects (e.g., environmental and lifestyle stressors). I am committed to facilitating and empowering the optimal health of each of my patients.
Personally, I walk my talk by keeping physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy. This starts with basic strategies like sleeping enough, eating a balanced diet, and staying active. I have experienced that input equals output – what I put in or do with my body determines the quality of my life. As a Chiropractor, I am committed and passionate about playing a role in the healthcare of others and encouraging similar values. I enjoy maximizing the health and wellbeing of all family members, from infants to the elderly. I also have a special interest in assisting active individuals in recovering from sports injuries and reaching peak, physical performance from professionals to weekend warriors. I look forward to assist you as your body restores and amplifies its inherent optimal health.
