Meet Dr Bruno Lai –  Chiropractor (B. Chiro. Sc.)(BClinChiro)

Dr. Bruno graduated from Murdoch University with a double degree in Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and Clinical Chiropractic. Originally from Macau, he is multilingual and fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, which helps him effectively communicate and understand his patients’ needs and concerns.

While Bruno was studying at Murdoch in his 2nd year, he suffered an ACL (ligament) tear to his knee while playing soccer. Since then, he started experiencing more neck and back pain due to a relatively stationary lifestyle, spending hours at school using computers and studying. This experience drove him to seek chiropractic care for his spinal pain and knee recovery. He eventually found long-term pain relief and management strategies (rehabilitation exercise) from chiropractic services. He experienced the effectiveness of chiropractic care for back, neck problems, and other injuries (extremities), including knees, shoulders, and hips. From that point onward, Bruno committed himself to using his knowledge and skills to assist individuals who suffered from injuries and persistent discomfort. He aims to positively impact his patients, helping them get better and achieve their goals, such as being able to sleep through the night without pain or working comfortably all day – without enduring back pain and headaches over a specific period.

Naturally, due to his experiences, he has a particular interest in sports injuries (including gym injuries) and neck and back pain resulting from incorrect posture and excessive stresses and strains at work.

Proficient in spinal adjustments (re-alignments), extremity mobilizations, exercise and stretch programs, dry needling, soft tissue therapy, strapping and with his clinical experiences, Bruno looks forward to helping you get better.

Beyond his professional life, he has a passion for various sports, including soccer and skateboarding, and is a gym enthusiast. He also has a fondness for fashion and clothes. You may occasionally find him setting up a store in a Sunday second-hand fashion market – a great way to relax.
