Dr Ravi Rudner
Chiropractor
Chiropractor and Director of Village Chiropractic, serving the Manly community since 2005.
I have been a Chiropractor since 2001 and have worked with thousands of people in Australia and abroad to help them achieve optimal health. It's extremely rewarding to see people regain their health as they learn to trust their body’s innate capacity to heal without excessive intervention.
I'm a father of two children and I love the ocean. My happy place is Manly Beach early in the morning with my kids. As a father, husband and small business owner, I know how vital great health is to living a quality life. I look forward to working with you.

Georgia Lloyd
Acupuncturist
Hi I'm Georgia and I am a registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner (BHSc, UTS) based in Manly.
I have a background in community acupuncture, which has taught me that prevention is key to better health, and community is a pillar of our well-being.
Achieving better health is not a solo journey, it’s a group effort.
As a practitioner, I am passionate about treating individuals exactly where they are, with a keen interest in evidence-based acupuncture for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, pain management, digestive issues, women’s health, insomnia, as well as stress and anxiety management.
What motivates us to do what we do.
At some point in your life, health will be your main priority. The most important discovery you can make is that you can decide when that time will be. It can be a voluntary decision or it can occur as a result of a health crisis.
If for you that time is now, we are here to help.
A common concern for those living the modern western lifestyle is a mismatch between what we need to enjoy flourishing health and what we actually do day to day. Our modern lifestyle does not align with our health requirements. This imbalance results in chronic stress and dis-ease.
What we eat, where and how we move, and our thoughts all impact on our ability to be healthy.
What has made Chiropractic unique since its inception in 1895 is the premise that a healthy spine also contributes to general health and wellbeing.
Whether it's back pain, neck pain, headaches or something else, in order for you to heal efficiently it’s essential to reduce stress in all its forms.
Based on a scientific approach to the detection of inefficient healing, Village Chiropractic will create a strategy to optimise your key health requirements:
- Movement
- Mindset
- Fuel
- Brain/Body Connection
So you can enjoy abundant health and vitality in a modern, fast paced and increasingly demanding world.
We call it the pursuit of modern wellbeing.
