Chiropractic at Resilient Health is a little different! With a background in massage, and sports chiropractic, Resilient Health Chiropractic has a whole-person approach to all aspects of the body including their management, rehabilitation, and prevention.
Dr Stewart Ward graduated from RMIT in 2012 with a Bachelor of Health Sciences and a Master of Clinical Chiropractic. He also holds a Diploma in Remedial Massage & Advanced Diploma in Myotherapy, and practiced in Melbourne for five years while studying Chiropractic. These skills and experiences equip him with a unique perspective and mix of modalities and techniques; he combines soft tissue work and traditional chiropractic methods.
Stewart is also continuing with post-graduate studies in sports rehabilitation and functional neuro-orthopaedic rehabilitation which includes concussion.
Stewart loves working with all people whether they are in pain or simply looking to improve their body’s ability to move well and be able to do what it is that they love. He is particularly passionate in working with athletes of all ages, sizes and sports; in both injury management and enhancing performance. Aside from general back pain, hip and leg pain, or shoulder pain, Stewart enjoys helping you to get to the bottom of your jaw pain, headaches and chronic low back pain. He focuses not just on pain but getting people back to doing what they love; supported and empowered.
In his free time Stewart is an avid weightlifter, recreational golfer and gigantic nerd who can easily jump from back squats to Batman in the same sentence. He is a voracious reader, occasional gamer, a decent cook, loves listening to podcasts, and spending time with his family and friends.

Chiropractic University graduates like Dr Stewart Ward hold a Master qualification and complete a minimum of FIVE years of university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general medical diagnosis and chiropractic techniques. This also enables them to perform standard medical examinations of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems.
