Sports Chiropractor
Gold Coast
Whether you're managing an injury, rebuilding after one, or looking for a clinical approach that takes performance seriously — INVICTUS is built for you.
Where clinical treatment
meets performance training.
UK-trained at the AECC
Rudy trained at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) in Bournemouth, UK — one of the world’s most clinically rigorous chiropractic institutions.
The AECC’s five-year Master’s program places a high emphasis on evidence-based clinical practice and differential diagnosis. For patients with complex or persistent conditions, that depth of training matters.
Rudy’s background in personal training and strength and conditioning changes the way he thinks about injury: he doesn’t just treat tissue — he understands what that tissue has to do in training, competition, and daily life.

Runners, cyclists, CrossFitters, surfers, AFL and team sport players, golfers. You need a practitioner who understands performance, not just pain. Where clinically appropriate, Rudy works to keep you training throughout your recovery — modifying load rather than stopping it.
You're not here because something's broken. You're here because you take your physical capacity seriously and want to keep it that way. Whether you're managing the demands of a high-output career, staying competitive into your 40s and 50s, or building a protocol that keeps you functioning at your best long-term — INVICTUS offers the clinical infrastructure to support that.
Seen multiple practitioners without lasting results? INVICTUS starts with a thorough clinical assessment — taking the time to identify what's driving the problem and build a clear path forward.

Frequently asked questions
A sports chiropractor specialises in musculoskeletal injury assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation — particularly for physically active people. Unlike standard chiropractic practice, sports chiropractic integrates soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercise, and movement-based approaches alongside manual treatment. At INVICTUS, this extends further to include performance training and injury prevention programming under one roof.
Most chiropractic clinics offer spinal adjustment and basic soft tissue work. INVICTUS offers a complete continuum — initial clinical assessment, treatment, structured rehabilitation, 1:1 performance coaching, and injury prevention programming. All delivered by a single UK-trained clinician with a background in personal training and strength and conditioning.
No referral required. Book directly online via our booking page.
Your initial consultation is a full clinical assessment. Rudy will take a detailed history, assess movement and function, and outline a clear treatment plan. You'll leave with a clear picture of the assessment findings, a working diagnosis or differential, and a proposed treatment direction. Where imaging or further investigation is needed, Rudy will tell you that too.
Absolutely. The clinical and rehabilitation approach at INVICTUS is valuable for anyone with musculoskeletal pain, movement issues, or recurring problems — not just competitive athletes. Many patients are active people, office workers, or anyone who's been dealing with something that standard treatment hasn't resolved.
No. A significant portion of patients at INVICTUS are not in acute pain — they're athletes and active people who want assessment, prehab programming, or performance coaching to stay ahead of injury. If you're training consistently and want to keep it that way, a clinical assessment is a useful starting point regardless of whether something is currently wrong.
