Dr Paula Brown loves the variety that comes with caring for people across all stages of life and has a particular appreciation for the families and communities she works with throughout Taranaki.

As a proud “dance mum” to a daughter involved in high-level competitive dancing, Paula has gained a firsthand appreciation of the physical demands that competitive dance and sport can place on a young, developing body. Long training hours, repetitive movements, strength, flexibility and the pressure of competition have given her a particular interest in the biomechanics and physical demands experienced by young athletes and dancers. Paula brings this perspective into her clinical practice, where she sees many local teenagers and young adults, taking the time to understand the sports, activities and goals that are important to each person.

At the other end of the age spectrum, Paula equally enjoys caring for the “older and wiser” members of the community. Taranaki is home to so many fit, vibrant people who want to remain engaged with the things they enjoy in retirement. Paula particularly enjoys working with people who take a proactive interest in their health, movement and wellbeing.

For Paula, one of the most rewarding parts of chiropractic practice is building long-term relationships with people and families — from teenagers finding their feet in sport and life, through to parents, grandparents and active retirees throughout Taranaki.
