About Synergy Health

When Stephanie was practicing as a chiropractor alone, she quickly realized she didn’t have all the answers when it came to her patients. So she decided to add a few more experts to the mix and that is how Synergy Health came about.

As an accomplished professional golfer, Justin set out to establish Synergy Golf so he could help people find the swing that works the best for their body. While on tour, he had the privilege of playing with hundreds of golfers and one thing he noticed about each of their swings is that not one of them were the same.
Even when it came to the best golfers in the world, Justin had a hard time figuring out what they were doing that he wasn’t. Finally, it came to him – they were embracing their natural swing.

This is why Justin focuses on helping people find their signature swing that feels the most natural to them. He also works with a team of health and fitness experts to help people build strength and flexibility, so they can reach their full potential.
