Maxwell Knight – Chiropractor
Max grew up on a cotton and sheep farm in Wee Waa, New South Wales, and has since found his home on the Redlands Coast at Wellington Point. He holds a Masters of Chiropractic and a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science from Macquarie University in Sydney.
Max’s approach centres on one simple idea: understanding the gap between where someone is now and where they want to be — and building a clear path to get there. Whether that’s returning to the sport you love, moving without pain, or simply functioning better in daily life, Max works to understand what matters to you before deciding how to help.
His clinical philosophy is grounded in active, outcome-focused care. Rather than managing symptoms, Max looks at how the whole body moves and loads, identifying the underlying drivers of pain and dysfunction. He uses a combination of manual therapy, movement assessment, corrective exercise, and dry needling to make lasting change — not just temporary relief. Max holds a Level 1 qualification in Neuro Muscular Dry Needling.
