Brad Moore

Brad Moore

Chiropractor

Dr Brad Moore (Chiropractor) was born and raised in Adelaide. He was keen on sports, particularly football, and played at a high level until he tore his hamstring while in his teens. To his frustration, the injury just didn’t seem to settle, making it hard to maintain his sporting fitness. Eventually, one of his mates suggested Brad went to see a Chiropractor to see if an adjustment to his lower back or pelvis might help. It did. It helped a lot. And it also sparked Brad’s interest in becoming a Chiropractor.

After gaining a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Master of Chiropractic from Macquarie University in Sydney, the newly accredited Dr Brad Moore moved back to Adelaide and opened his practice. Eleven years later, that became Active Health Co.

Outside of Active Heath Co, Brad is married to a Physiotherapist and has a young son. Brad keeps active with cycling and longer distance running, completing a Marathon and Ultramarathon. Weekends involve family time, friends and a few beers whilst watching the footy.

Nathaniel Thorpe

Chiropractor
Dr Nathaniel, like Dr Brad, is a Macquarie University graduate. Born in Adelaide’s Northern suburbs he grew up in the Adelaide hills before moving to Sydney for his studies.
 
He has practiced for the last 7 years across practices in Mount Gambier, Adelaide and most recently Kilkenny in the Republic of Ireland. His first experience of chiropractic came at 6 years of age, from which his passion and love for the profession grew. As a Chiropractor he is passionate about providing chiropractic care to people of all ages and backgrounds and believes all of us can benefit from the powers of chiropractic care. He has a special interest in helping athletes perform at their optimal capacity and recover well. He has a special interest in gonstead chiropractic technique and also practices diversified techniques.
 
When not at work Nathaniel loves to be out and about with his wife Niamh whether that’s going for a hike, climbing at the bouldering gym. As keen travellers they have spent the last 18 months working in Ireland whilst travelling around Europe. They are now looking forward to returning to Adelaide and settling into the next phase of their lives.

Josh Gauci

When he’s not caring for his clients, Josh is playing local AFL and loves watching a wide variety of sports including footy, cricket and Formula One.

His love of sports is what got Josh into becoming a physio, so he can live his passion of helping people get back to their full potential and living well.

Jordan Hevesi

Remedial massage therapist
Hey there! I am Jordan and I am Remedial Massage Therapist with passion to see positive changes in the lives of my clients. 
 
I have a strong commitment to providing the best service I can and with my knowledge and understanding I will strive to repair and maintain your body.
I have a Diploma in Remedial Massage Therapy through Evolve College.
I am extremely passionate about the industry and love every minute of the work that I do, having built many great friendships with the regular clients that I see.
 
I use techniques of muscle manipulation, massage, trigger points and frictions to release tension to problematic areas which in turn provide a relief of pain, improving blood flow, encouraging lymphatic drainage and increasing mobility. 
 
With my tailored treatments I aim to see results, using progress notes to track observations and record improvements to your health, posture and wellbeing. 
The style of treatment that I provide isn’t all that relaxing, Remedial Massage can cause a level of discomfort, but the results speak for themselves.
 
I love being part of the Active Health Co team, with some talented people to bounce off of and in working with them I can learn, grow and ultimately provide client’s with the best treatments.
 
Thank you, I look forward to seeing what I can do for you.

Ebony Spadavecchia

Ebony Spadavecchia

Remedial massage therapist

Hi I’m Ebony! I am so excited to meet you and collaboratively work together to help improve your quality of life through Remedial Massage Therapy.

For the last decade I have worked within the beauty industry, predominantly in day spas where my passion for massage and its healing effects on the human body developed. This fascination lead me to completing my diploma in Remedial Massage Therapy.

I provide a unique treatment that incorporates a touch of relaxation, as I believe calming the mind and nervous system is as important as treating the muscles themselves.
However, don’t let “relaxation” mislead you; getting stuck into those stubborn knots in your shoulders is as satisfying for me as it is for you.

There is nothing more rewarding than helping people improve their quality of life; whether through increasing range of motion, relieving muscle aches and pains, supporting injury recovery, alleviating headaches or just providing an experience that helps you decompress from the stresses of life.
Every human body tells a different story, so it’s important for me to provide a tailored approach in order to help treat your individual needs.

Aside from massage, I would consider myself a foodie and find so much joy being in the kitchen, nourishing my body with delicious produce alongside a glass of vino (or two). I love fine dining, good coffee, live music and spending time with my beautiful border collie, Lila.
