At Active Chiropractic, I'm committed to providing personalised and effective spinal care. With a focus on advanced technology and holistic treatment plans, my aim is to improve lives through chiropractic care.
Hi, I'm Dr Robert Moore (Chiropractor) with over 15 years chiropractic experience. I graduated from RMIT Melbourne in 2009 with a Master's degree in Clinical Chiropractic and began my career in Australia. I moved to New Zealand in 2013. Initially for a short trip, I fell in love with the region and have practiced in the Queenstown Lakes district since 2013. I reopened Active Chiropractic Wanaka in July 2018.
My aim is to provide effective chiropractic care to people of all ages and backgrounds so that you can remain active in your life.
I have a particular interest in Sports Chiropractic and completed post graduate studies in Sports Chiropractic in 2014 with further studies in 2021. I was the chair of Sports Chiropractic New Zealand from 2016 - 2022. I am now working towards an instructor role in Sports Chiropractic.
I have been privileged to work with athletes of all levels including:
- International and New Zealand national competitive skiers and snowboarders
- National and regional ice hockey teams

I look forward to helping you stay active and enjoying your life to its full potential.
