BSc (Pharmacology)

Clinical Excellence. After 12 years of full-time practice in Singapore, Dr. Tae Young Kim managed hundreds of complex clinical cases before returning home to New Zealand. His expertise lies in corrective chiropractic care focused on restoring optimal biomechanics and posture.

A Science-Based Journey. Dr. Tae holds a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology from the University of Auckland, a background that uniquely informs his chiropractic philosophy. He transitioned to chiropractic care to empower individuals to take control of their well-being naturally, addressing root causes rather than symptoms.

Holistic Alignment. Dr. Tae believes that a well-aligned spine is the bedrock of vibrant health. He places exceptional emphasis on patient-centered care and the alignment of goals between himself and each individual to achieve genuine, long-lasting outcomes.

Ritual What is one simple wellness tip you swear by?

Prioritize posture every day—ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips. Good alignment reduces unnecessary stress on your spine and nervous system.

Recovery How do you like to de-stress after a busy day?

I enjoy unwinding with a brisk evening walk. No screens, just fresh air and movement—ideally at the beach if time allows.

Connection What do you do for your mental wellness?

I am a people person. Meeting family and friends for good food or catching up over the phone always lifts me up.

Priority What is your favorite way to prioritize wellness?

Stretching! It’s something I always teach my clients—it's quick, improves posture, and keeps the body sharp.

Motivation What inspired your career in wellness?

My pharmacology background focused on medication, but I wanted a path that empowers individuals to take control of their own health naturally.

Joy What is something that makes you laugh?

Someone cracking their own neck on the table before I start. It's the classic chiropractor's irony—please don't do it!
