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

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.
