Meet Dr. Michael Standen

Chiropractor. Nervous System Advocate. Lifelong Learner.

I’m Dr. Michael Standen, dedicated to helping men reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous system, and reclaim energy, strength, and vitality.

Many men push through pain, fatigue, or stress, believing it’s just “part of life.” The truth is, your nervous system, posture, and movement patterns have a huge impact on your energy, mood, and performance and addressing them can change everything.

My Approach

I combine advanced chiropractic training, nursing experience, and a nervous-system-informed perspective to create personalised care that:

• Releases tension and chronic stress through spinal energetics & somatic therapies

• Optimises function with movement and biomechanics analysis

• Restores balance using lifestyle and body-awareness techniques

• Regulates stress with polyvagal-informed practices

Whether you’re dealing with chronic tension, fatigue, anxiety, or want to improve performance at work, sport, or in life, I meet you where you are and guide your body back to balance.

Credentials & Specialities

• MChiro, Macquarie University (2024) – Master of Chiropractic, focused on musculoskeletal and nervous system health

Why Nervous System Health Matters

A dysregulated nervous system can leave you feeling:

• Low energy or fatigue

• Stiffness, tension, or chronic pain

• Anxiety, overwhelm, or poor sleep

• Slow recovery from stress or activity

Supporting your nervous system helps your body move, rest, and perform with ease so you can thrive instead of just survive.
