About Us

  • Dr Christopher Hodgetts - chris@igotyaback.com

With a Welsh mother and an Australian father I was born in Singapore, spending my first year living in Indonesia. Growing up locally in Perth, my family and I have been Chiropractic patients since my early teenage years after I suffered from debilitating headaches for some time. Since my first experience many years ago Chiropractic has been a large part of my life. With my grandfather being a general surgeon and practitioner in Wales, my grandmother a nurse and my mother a nurse here in Perth I have always felt drawn towards health care.

So with a family history of health care and an enthusiasm to understand the intricacies of the human body my chiropractic journey continued when I began studies at Murdoch University Chiropractic School in 2005. After 5 difficult yet rewarding years, in 2009 I completed the Bachelor of Science (Chiropractic) and Bachelor of Chiropractic, graduating with merit honours. In early 2010 my professional career began at Hillarys Chiropractic, joining Dr Lucy and Dr Pam.

You can spot me in the surf at various beaches along the Perth coast early most mornings. My passion for surfing has allowed me to maintain an active lifestyle and has constantly drawn me towards the coast, professionally and socially. However, my love of sport also extends through cricket and australian rules football, both of which I spent much of my youth and adult life involved in.

Chris currently works at Hillarys Chiropractic
