Meet The Team
Dr Russell Jensen
In January 2015, I started my chiropractic practice as an associate chiropractor at Canning Healthcare. After the birth of my son Oliver in September 2021, I made the decision to transition into operating my own independent practice.
My career highlight was and is opening my own chiro clinic here in Bicton, which was both a challenging and fulfilling experience. Prior to that, I consider my trips to the United States for training in Integrative Diagnosis Treatment as a major highlight, as it greatly shaped my approach to practicing chiropractic.
As a chiropractor, I place a high value on spending quality time with my patients. I believe that being an effective practitioner requires strong listening skills and a knack for asking the right questions.
My current therapeutic approach is multi-modal and holistic, utilizing chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue treatments, and shockwave therapy.
In my experience, the key to making progress with patients lies in asking the right questions, which often requires taking the time to thoroughly understand their situation.
I always aim to provide patients with the best possible solutions, and if I am unable to assist, I will help them find a practitioner who can.
In my spare time I play indoor beach volleyball at Fremantle Indoor Beach Volleyball Centre in O’Connor and I ride a road bike just about everywhere in Perth. Some of my favourite routes pass through Bicton and Attadale, the beautiful foreshore is a welcome addition to any ride.
Like all good Dad’s I love spending time with my Wife, Fiona, and my sons, Ollie and Jimmy.
Dr Nicola Colebrook
Hi I’m Nicola,
I’ve always known I wanted to have a career in helping people but growing up in a small Wheatbelt town, I didn’t even know that chiropractic care existed until I was in my late teens. My journey into chiropractic care began as a teenager when I started suffering from unexplained chronic headaches. Searching for relief, I came across chiropractic care and started seeing Dr Russell. For the first time in 3 years, I finally had some relief and as the saying goes… the rest was history.
It felt like a full circle moment when Russell approached me to work for him while I finished my studies. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Russell as his assistant for the last 2 years and have been grateful to learn the techniques which had such a profound impact on my own healing journey. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of the human body and has had a significant influence on my approach to patient care.
I’m excited to build a career focused on creating positive patient experiences and providing a compassionate, listening ear to those struggling to manage their pain. I truly believe that a little bit of empathy and understanding can go a long way in helping people feel heard, supported and empowered on their pain journey.
When I’m not at work I love to go for walks while listening to a half decent podcast, reading a good book or taking my dog to the beach. My favourite time of the week would have to be Sunday morning when you can generally find me sitting in the sun with a coffee and a good book in hand.
Elise Jensen
Hi I am Elise, the Lead Chiropractic Assistant here at Southside Spine and Sport.
I have a diverse background that spans across various industries, including agriculture, retail, and support work. My unique perspective and approach set me apart from other assistants at the clinic. But what truly sets me apart is my passion for science.
I have always been fascinated by human anatomy, biological science, and environmental science, and this love for science has given me a tremendous advantage in understanding the complex issues that patients face every day.
Since joining the team, I have found that I love getting to know the patients and watching their journey towards optimum health and recovery. I bring my warm and cheerful disposition in to everyday to put patient’s minds at ease and help them feel safe and taken care of.
