Chiropractic - Our Team

Margaret Blacklow - Principal Chiropractor
Margie completed a five year Chiropractic degree in Melbourne in 1989 and initially
practiced in Perth, Western Australia. It was during this time her passion for working
with sports teams was established and Margie found herself as a chiropractor for
local and provincial cricket, rugby, and ice hockey teams. Margie returned to New Zealand
in 1994 and completed her Masters and Post Graduate Sports Science Diploma, creating
a more solid foundation to her interest in maximizing the potential of the athlete. Since then
she has worked with many local and elite level athletes with attendance at the Olympics
being a highlight. Margie enjoys being part of a multi-disciplinary team which she believes
is crucial to facilitating the optimal performance of the athlete.

Mark Warren - Chiropractor
Mark graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in 1991 and worked in a variety of clinics both in
Europe and NZ before joining SportsMed. He brings a wealth of experience, not only as a clinician but also as a
chiropractor lecturer, to the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal pain and injury. He has a particular
interest in the influence of posture and gait on the development of long-term muscle and joint problems and their
effects on athletic performance. He enjoys working closely with other professionals on the SportsMed team which
means that difficult cases can be 'co-managed' with input from colleagues as required.
