Dr Dan Tilley, Chiropractor
How It All Started
Dr Dan has been under chiropractic care since he was 5 years old, first seeing Dr Peter Marshall, the original founder of Tamar Chiropractic. Growing up on the Gold Coast, he spent much of his time fishing and boating before being encouraged by chiropractor Dr Brett Ireland to pursue this path himself. At 17, that conversation shaped his future, and he has not looked back since.
He completed his Master of Chiropractic at RMIT University in Melbourne, graduating in 2011. During his studies, Dr Dan was surrounded by a positive community that encouraged him to aim high. Being born with a hearing loss, he values the role that strong people and environments can play in helping someone reach their potential.

A Personal Approach to Care
Dr Dan begins by listening. He takes time to understand what is happening, how it is affecting daily life, and what each person wants to get back to doing.
With more than 14 years in practice, he has worked with a wide range of people, from athletes to those dealing with ongoing discomfort. His focus is always the same. Understand the person first, then work through the problem together.
