Dr. Robyn Leeder Doctor Robyn has been in practice for over 15 years.
Dr. Robyn has a keen interest in womens health, pregnancy and pediatric care, seeing many mums during their pregnancy and their precious babies post the trauma of delivery. Her patients have received help with a wide range of issues including breast feeding, colic, reflux and babies mobility problems.
Dr Robyn is Webster technique certified and a member of International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and gentle adjustment that reduces interference to the nervous system, and especially balances pelvic muscles and ligaments. This in turn decreases the cause of intra-uterine constraint and allows the baby to get into the best possible position for birth. Dr Robyn has helped correct breech and posterior presentations in pregnant women to achieve a safe natural birth.

Dr. Evette Christopoulos Warm, Friendly and 12 years chiropractic experience - great with Mum and Bub
In our busy society, many people have forgotten what it feels like to take care of themselves and to be healthy. The World Health Organization defines health as ‘not merely an absence of disease’, and point out that overall wellbeing includes a good quality of life and generally ‘feeling good’.
Every person’s potential to express ‘health’ is different: some of us are born with lifelong illnesses and others have the capacity to train for triathlons. Whatever our capacity, we should each be encouraged and guided to explore ways to improve our health and live our best life possible. Many people in our world are so stressed and so busy that they seem to have lost their way in making health a priority.
Dr Evette is committed to working with each of her patients to reach their individual health goals. Dr Evette draws on her 12 years of chiropractic experience and coaching skills to find personalized health solutions for her patients.
Dr Evette is especially interested in paediatrics, working with mums-to-be, new mums and bubs (yep, even really tiny ones). Using very gentle and specific Chiropractic techniques, Evette aims to work with families to make pregnancy, post-birth and childhood more comfortable. She enjoys caring for kids and showing them that being healthy can be fun too. Many of the children that come to Greensborough Family Chiropractic arrive with postural challenges, childhood migraines, foot problems or ‘growing pains’. Once their problems are addressed, their good health is easily maintained through supportive care as desired by mums and dads.
Evette is experienced in Webster technique, a technique designed specifically to balance the pelvic area during pregnancy to relieve aches and pains and to facilitate optimum positioning of the baby within the uterus in preparation for birth. Webster technique has a very high success rate.
Evette works with both low-force and traditional Chiropractic techniques that are suitable for babies, to bodybuilders, to elderly folks. She is a great advocate of active participation in regaining and maintaining health, and encourages her patients to fully understand and participate in the recovery process.
Dr Evette is a very experienced chiroproviding special care during and post pregnancy for both mum and baby. TO KEEP IN THE BEST SHAPE POSSIBLE DURING YOUR PREGNANCY, be sure to contact us.

MORE ON NEUROLOGY
Dr Robyn is a Diplomate of American Chiropractic Neurology Board. Dr Robyn has completed more than 2.5 years of post-graduate study of FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY. This is the study of brain-based conditions such as balance, vertigo, learning & behavioural problems, mood disorders, chronic headaches, decreased performance of parts of the Brain, to name a few! This study enables her to use non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical (Drug Free), natural approaches to help correct any underlying problems that may be associated with a persons brain and its many connections with the rest of the body.
When you consider that the brain is responsible for the health, repair and maintenance of every cell, tissue, organ, joint in the body - it is not surprising that functional neurology techniques can have a major impact on the body self healing. The effectiveness of these treatments will amaze you! Dr Leeder has already had tremendous success with very difficult cases, normally considered impossible by standard chiropractic methods.

The Chiropractic Approach to treating Back Pain, Lower Back Pain and Sciatica
Chiropractic care restores the spine to more normal position, motion and function; Chiropractic care reduces symptoms of pain and improves function. Chiropractors have helped millions of people with low back problems, often making the difference to enable a life of ease, better health and comfort. Spinal manipulation applied by highly trained chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for low back pain. The Royal Commission has found it established beyond any reasonable degree of doubt that chiropractors have a more thorough training in spinal mechanics and spinal manual therapy than any other health professional.
The percentage of chiropractic patients ‘very satisfied’ with the care they received for low back pain was triple that for patients of family physicians. We will be happy to help you! Tel: 9432 4644
