Iain and Kelly wanted to create a practice where everyone could enjoy the benefits by combining the best of traditional chiropractic and modern analysis technology.
Armed with their vision they restored a 1950’s house into a modern chiropractic office in eight weeks flat – and they did it on schedule, with a lot of help.
Opening their doors on the 2nd October 2006, Thrive Chiropractic provides spinal health, wellness, and health education from pregnancy and new born babies through to elder care.
Their main point of difference is the attention to detail, and the education and empowerment of clients to understand the significance of their spine and its relationship to overall health. This shows upmost in their professionalism from first to last appointment.
This caring attitude coupled with their extensive training shows in their keeping up-to-date procedures and manuals defining every aspect of their operation – reassurance that you are in safe, expert hands.
Iain and Kelly needed to restore a tired building into a modern attractive premises, build a car park, install an office and consulting rooms and an x-ray facility while hiring and training staff.
Despite numerous council hold-ups and having only 2 weeks of tradesman time available, they opened on time and ready to go.
Next was marketing the new business: “Wellness and maintenance spinal health care is a different perspective to traditional healthcare”.
As a new business in the area, they met resistance from established medical referral networks. This meant that all of their business had to be generated through external marketing activity.
They needed those first customers to be so impressed that they referred others. And it worked.
Through external marketing they built a customer base that now gives them over 68% of their new business.
And to ensure those interested people can find out more about them they used Web Genius to grow their website into the first port of call for enquiries.

“From the first day, Thrive has provided an excellent level of service, offering planned, explained and effective treatment by an efficient and caring team of professionals who love what they do.
The team at Thrive Chiropractic are my champions.” – Hilda Prasad
“… the team are sensational. I can honestly say that since I started visiting Thrive in August 2014, I have never felt better.” – Paul Brittain-Morby
They led an initiative to get local small businesses to donate and promote the Coastlands aquatic centre project.
Iain and Kelly also donated time and resources to the Kapiti Mountain Bike Club to develop a proposal for a skills park in Kapiti.
They also participate in the Kapiti and Paraparaumu College careers fairs and provide work experience days for students wanting to explore chiropractic as a career.
And by using local services, and being part of the well-being of its community, they have become very much part of the Kapiti community.

I came to Thrive Chiropractic at the beginning of 2016 with a painful injury, I started seeing Kelly for treatment. I find Kelly and the whole team really friendly and personable, it’s nice to feel welcomed, valued and cared for. I value the nutritional advice I receive also and I am glad they have a range of supplements available.
I have been receiving treatment for a back problem from Iain for 4 years now and I would not go anywhere else. I feel safe and cared for at Thrive.I know that if I urgently need a treatment the wonderful team at Thrive will get me an appointment asap and that takes away the fear of thinking I will be flat on my back in agony for days. Thrive has taught me a lot about how to manage my own back and learn more of what I can and can not do. I spent years (30) in fact going to different professionals trying to get help but it was always only temporary. I feel finding Iain and Kelly and their wonderful team a Blessing. I would recommend Thrive to everyone and I do!!!!!!! Our 16 year old son Angus has also been to Iain and has noticed a great improvement.
Down to earth people who enjoy what they do and are very good at it. It’s that simple. I particularly like the progress check which gives an overview of the issue and a visual comparison of results. Good going team THRIVE, you get my vote!
The Thrive team are a friendly professional team. Everything well explained. My family are well looked after
A great team, and great service from Thrive Chiropractic. Ian fixed my back a treat!
Exceptional knowledge is presented in a caring and professional manner. The thorough investigation and communication about the plan of care is outstanding, and Ian’s genuine interest in clients is remarkable. I highly recommend the Thrive Team and wish them the best.
Had the pleasure of working at Thrive in the early days when Iain would be away with family. His were sure tough shoes to fill! I was always impressed with the efficiency of the office, friendliness and empathy of the staff, and the satisfaction and gratefulness the patients expressed with regard to Thrive and Iain’s care.
Wonderful personal service given by dedicated personnel throughout.
Great treatment for both John and myself
It is wonderful to have Thrive chiropractic team in the Kapiti area. Thank you for being part of my successful wellness plan,
My total experience is very positive – the treatment Ian and Kelly provides is first class, the other staff re friendly, courteous, obliging and efficient. I am delighted with Thrive
I have had previous back surgery so do not like anybody adjusting my spine but I have full confidence in Ian making adjustments. I have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. They all look happy in their job and that says a lot. I would have no hesitation in recommending Thrive to any of my friends.
I have been under the care of Iain and Kelly since February 2012 with excellent results. The staff are always friendly courteous and efficient. I wish them all the very best.
