She was the first animal chiropractor in SA to work in the thoroughbred race and stud world and pathed the way for many to follow. She certified in canine rehabilitation through the University of Tennessee and is on the faculty of North East Seminars.
Drs Broadhurst, together with her chiropractor and acupuncturist husband, owned their human chiropractic and multidisciplinary clinic for 15 years. The clinic was renowned for having a special focus on integrating myofascial work with chiropractic adjustments, therefore optimizing the nervous system.
