Meet Dr Lawrence Chiu (Chiropractor)
Dr Lawrence came to chiropractic through his own sporting injury. As a competitive road and track cyclist, he was training towards a shot at national level when a back injury interrupted his progress. The chiropractic care he received during his recovery sparked something bigger: a genuine curiosity about how the body works and responds to injury.
Originally from Hong Kong, Lawrence moved to Australia at 18 to study chiropractic at Macquarie University. Since completing his studies, he has practised in several parts of Australia, from the fast pace of the city to several years in regional Wagga Wagga, where he built a strong connection to rural and country life. He’s fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, and has continued to build his clinical skills through further training in Gonstead, TPT, and SOT techniques.
A Focus on Endurance and Everyday Life
Dr Lawrence welcomes patients from different walks of life and has a particular interest in working with athletes. He especially enjoys working with people involved in endurance sports such as cycling and running. His own competitive background gives him a firsthand understanding of the physical demands these sports place on the body.
He’s equally passionate about the family and education side of care. Dr Lawrence enjoys helping people understand their bodies better so they can make informed decisions about their own health and their family’s.
Life Outside the Clinic
After his competitive cycling days, Lawrence took up running to stay active and keep exploring what the body is capable of. Having spent several years in regional NSW, he found that busy city life wasn’t quite the right fit. That’s part of what drew him to Canberra, which offers a blend of city convenience and a slower, more grounded pace of life. He brings that same balance to his work with patients, with an approach that’s measured, considered, and focused on the long term.
