Dr Michael Grieve

Michael graduated from Macquarie University with a Master of Chiropractic. Following his university training he started work here at Umina Chiropractic Centre. Over the following years he expanded his knowledge base with courses that focused on Paediatrics and Neurology. There are still many long weekends a year dedicated to further study with the aim of improving health outcomes for our patients.
Michael is married to Natacha Flohr, who works as a physiotherapist at Kincumber and is often used to refer to when her special skill set is required.
Michael enjoys snowboarding on a regular basis over winter. Surfing, Kiteboarding and Stand up paddle boarding keep his interest over summer.

Dr Dean Roods

Dean has been passionate about chiropractic care since the age of sixteen. He graduated from Macquarie University (NSW) in 2013 and since then, has been dedicating his time to furthering his education so that he can help as many people as possible.
​He has a great interest in vestibular rehabilitation which involves helping with issues such as: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), dizziness, balance disorders, dysautonomia and migraines.
Dean’s goal is to keep adding to his clinical ‘bag-of-tricks’ so that he can offer patients the best care possible.  Dean wants people to be able to come to him and ask:
– “Dean, I often wake up of a morning with either a stiff neck or an aching back. I think it’s just muscular, but could it have something to do with my spine?”
– “My daughter keeps spraining her ankle at sport. Is it just a weak ankle or could there be something else underlying?”
– “I keep bumping into things. Do you think it could be related to my spine being out of alignment?”
Dean has a natural curiosity about almost everything and enjoys inspiring people to find out why something may or may not be happening.  One of Deans hobbies is cooking and, in many ways, he likes to think of each patient’s case as an open pantry of ingredients - every person’s nervous system is different, and (like cooking) requires unique ‘ingredients’ to help ‘switch on’ the body’s healing processes, appropriately.  So, when it comes to caring for people, there’s no ‘cookbook’ approach; there’s no, “One-size-fits-all” model – it’s very much a tailored approach which is why I love what I do.
