I came to my professional<\/a> work as a biomechanist and Doctor of Chiropractic through my feet! As a young college volleyball athlete, I was suffering with chronic recurring foot arch, heel, shin and low back pain, which I associated with being in a \u2018jumping\u2019 sport. I spent many hours in the training room with ice, heat, ultrasound, massage, taping, etc. with minimal success. This went on for 2 years while I was in college. When I moved up to the University level, I finally got higher quality sports medicine care. The physiotherapist introduced me to the podiatrist, who gave me orthotics. This resolved the foot and leg pain in just 4 weeks. The low back pain was a bit better, but still there. So, the podiatrist introduced me to the Chiropractor. They consulted together, modified my orthotics, and I received 8 treatments with the Chiropractor. My back pain was gone, and my foot and leg also completely resolved. I played intercollegiate volleyball for 2 more years before graduating with a degree in kinesiology (the study<\/a> of human movement).<\/p> While studying kinesiology and exercise physiology at the University of Washington (USA), I earned a bachelor\u2019s degree, plus certification as an athletic trainer (A.T.C.). I also served as an intern at the U.S. Olympic Training Centre in Colorado Springs (USA). I then worked as an exercise physiologist in the fitness industry before going on to Chiropractic College. I graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon (USA) before going on to work in private practice for 11 years in the Seattle Washington. During this time, I worked as a Chiropractor and athletic trainer at the Goodwill Games, as well as serving as a team Chiropractor for a variety of athletes and teams of both professional and amateur status. My private practice focuses on spinal health, sports injury care, the resolution of chronic complaints, functional biomechanics, custom<\/a> orthotic<\/a> therapy and nutritional support for optimal health.<\/p> During my practice years I was invited to join Bastyr University of Natural Medicine in Seattle Washington as an adjunct faculty member. I loved teaching so much that I then took a full time post as an assistant professor at The University of Western States – Chiropractic Department in Portland Oregon. In 2001 I immigrated to the UK where I worked as a senior lecturer at the University of Surrey \u2013 European Institute of Health and Medical Science, and then at the University Glamorgan-Welsh Institute of Chiropractic training programme. I then immigrated to New Zealand in 2009. From 2010 to 2013 I was on the faculty and clinical<\/a> supervision staff at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. I have lectured on a variety of topics, supervised research projects, and tutored Chiropractic interns. My areas of expertise are; spinal and extremity adjusting, functional rehabilitation, functional orthotic therapy, and nutritional support for musculoskeletal conditions, and general wellness.<\/p> Having started a multidisciplinary clinic in Albany with a great clinical and admin team providing a range of health services that included functional orthotic therapy, we now focus on the provision of custom functional orthotics, sports injury care, and rehab for the patients needing orthotic therapy.<\/span><\/p> As a practitioner, I combine a variety of Chiropractic spinal and extremity adjustive techniques with soft tissue massage, functional biomechanics, exercise\/rehabilitation advice, orthotic therapy, and nutritional advice to offer each patient<\/a> a unique care plan that will help to resolve their complaint quickly and effectively to get them back to being as fit and healthy as possible.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \u201cAs a Doctor of Chiropractic my goal is to identifying the underlying biomechanical, neurological or physiologic causes of a patients\u2019 condition, so as to help them resolve their condition, restore their normal function, enhance their performance, and help their body to express its optimal potential.\u201d Dr Cherye Roche<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Dr. Cherye Roche.
