Matthew Bryan

Dr. Bryan grew up a local Victoria native, who attended and graduated Cum Laude from Macquarie University, in Sydney Australia. Upon acceptance, Dr. Bryan was awarded the Vice-Chancellor International Scholarship; an award that is given to the top 1% of incoming International Students. Dr. Bryan was also recognized as the top clinical technique graduate - an award voted on by his peers and professors as the clinician most proficient in chiropractic technique. During his time in Australia, Dr. Bryan was selected as one of the team chiropractors for the Central Coast Mariners - a professional soccer team in Australia and attained his diploma of football medicine from FIFA. He was also a part of the medical team for the Avoca Beach Sharks - an Elite Rugby Union club in Australia. Although Dr. Bryan has a passion for working with athletes, his professional experience in Australia includes working in a family-based practice, becoming familiar with pediatric care, working under one of the top low-force technique Chiropractors in Australia. Since coming back from Australia, Dr. Bryan has worked in various integrative clinics in Victoria, and continues to find working with athletes a passion of his. He also enjoys working alongside multiple different practitioners to take an eclectic, multidisciplinary approach which tends to provide the greatest results for his patients. Prior to studying at Macquarie University, Dr. Bryan attended McPherson College in Kansas, USA, on a baseball scholarship and was appointed as team captain in both 2015 and 2016. During the summers back home, Dr. Bryan also played outfield for the local elite summer baseball team - The Victoria Harbourcats of the WCL. Dr. Bryan believes that the future of healthcare is collaborative, and preventative. Where each profession brings its strengths to help patients achieve real, lasting results, and addressing the root problem and not masking a symptom. Outside of work, Dr. Bryan is especially passionate about travelling, staying physically active, and giving back to others. Having travelled to 23+ countries so far. His most rewarding experience thus far, which has given him a humbled perspective on life, was being able to volunteer at and donate to a school in Nairobi, Kenya. Dr. Bryan knows how impactful nutrition and physical activity is on our overall health and loves everything about the nature BC has to offer.
