#012 Jonny Hirtenstein - Navigating Trauma with Chiropractic Care

Jonny Hirtenstein DC is a chiropractor who specialises in a functional medicine based approach helping patients with chronic and complex health issues. He graduated from the Anglo-European Chiropractic College in Bournemouth in 2013. He now works in his practice, Foundation for Life Healthcare, based just outside Oxford. After beginning life as a more typical "structural" chiropractor, he soon found that this left a lot of unanswered questions and so he began delving into other treatment modalities inside and outside his profession, allowing him to explore the health of his patients in a deeper, more holistic way. This culminated in learning the Gateway System developed by renowned Osteopath Richard Holding, whose system is an evolution of those developed by his mentors George Goodhart and Alan Beardall (Applied and Clinical Kinesiology). He now delivers Seminars to other Chiropractors and Osteopaths.
