Meet Dr. Lucas Bennett
Modern Chiropractor. Movement Optimist. Everyday Human.
Dr. Lucas Bennett isn’t your typical chiropractor—and that’s exactly why so many people trust him with their care.
Curious, calm, and genuinely committed to helping others feel at home in their bodies, Lucas brings a new generation of chiropractic care to the coast. His approach is grounded in science but shaped by empathy—blending manual therapy, movement education, and evidence-informed techniques to treat people, not just pain.
A graduate of RMIT University in Melbourne, Lucas holds a Bachelor of Health Science / Bachelor of Applied Science (Chiropractic) and has continued to train in areas such as functional movement, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, and nervous system regulation. But what truly sets him apart is his ability to connect—with the body in front of him, and the person behind it.
Lucas takes the time to understand what’s really going on—beneath the symptoms, the stress, and the surface story. His clients often say, “This is the first time I’ve felt truly listened to,” and leave their sessions not only moving better, but feeling more empowered and in tune with themselves.
Outside the clinic, you’ll find him surfing, lifting, walking barefoot through nature, or deep in a podcast about biomechanics and human behavior. He’s passionate about helping others build stronger, calmer, more resilient lives—starting with the nervous system and the way we move.
Dr. Lucas believes chiropractic care isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building long-term trust, supporting real change, and making sure each person feels seen, understood, and supported every step of the way.
Our Expertise
Where Science Meets Intuition, and Movement Becomes Medicine
Coastal Motion Chiropractic is built on the belief that precision care and genuine human connection can transform how you move, heal, and feel in your body. Expertise here means more than technical skill—it’s about listening deeply, assessing holistically, and applying the right techniques at the right time.
Dr. Lucas Bennett blends evidence-based chiropractic care with a deep understanding of biomechanics, functional movement, and long-term injury prevention. From everyday tension to complex performance challenges, every treatment is tailored with intention and clarity.
Rather than chasing symptoms, we focus on the underlying patterns driving pain and dysfunction. Through advanced hands-on techniques, movement retraining, and nervous system support, we help your body do what it’s designed to do: move with strength, ease, and confidence.
Healing doesn’t start with a crack—it starts with insight. And that’s where our work begins.
Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp pinch, or radiating sciatic pain, lower back discomfort can be incredibly limiting. We assess the spine, muscles, and surrounding joints to identify what’s driving your pain—then use gentle adjustments, soft tissue work, and specific movement strategies to bring stability and relief. Our goal? Get you back to walking, moving, surfing, and resting without the tension.
Modern life = screens, stress, and stiffness. If you’re experiencing headaches, neck tension, or jaw discomfort, you’re not alone. We explore how your posture, bite alignment, and nervous system might be contributing—and work to unwind the muscular and joint imbalances that create the cycle. Relief often comes quickly—and lasts longer when we combine treatment with lifestyle adjustments.
Slumped over your laptop or glued to your phone? That forward-head, rounded-shoulders posture can lead to chronic upper back pain, tension headaches, and even wrist and elbow issues. We’ll guide you toward better posture—not by telling you to “sit up straight,” but by restoring strength, mobility, and awareness to the areas that need it most.
From weekend warriors to serious athletes, injuries happen. Whether it’s a rotator cuff tweak, hip imbalance, or restricted shoulder mobility, we’ll look at your full kinetic chain to find the true cause—not just the site of pain. Lucas works with surfers, yogis, runners, lifters, and active folks of all levels to reduce injury risk, speed up healing, and optimise performance.
Does your body always feel “tight,” even after stretching? Chronic tension is often a symptom of deeper imbalance—like joint instability or nervous system overdrive. We assess movement quality, not just range, and use hands-on therapy plus functional rehab to build more strength and ease where your body needs it most.
Your body goes through incredible changes during and after pregnancy. We offer gentle, supportive care to help manage common challenges like pelvic pain, sciatica, mid-back stiffness, and postpartum recovery. Our approach is safe, empowering, and always tailored to your unique stage of pregnancy or new motherhood.
Shooting pain down the leg? Tingling in your arms or feet? Nerve symptoms can be scary, but they’re also treatable with the right care. We’ll work to gently decompress irritated nerves, reduce inflammation, and address the underlying cause—whether it’s a spinal issue, muscular tension, or poor movement patterns.
Living with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or nervous system dysregulation? We take a trauma-aware, holistic approach—focusing on small, sustainable improvements over time. Chiropractic care can help restore movement, decrease inflammation, and improve your connection to your body without overwhelming it.
Not in pain, but feeling “off”? We treat a lot of people who don’t have a diagnosis—just a sense that something isn’t right. Maybe your hips feel uneven, or your shoulders won’t sit straight. We help tune into those subtleties, assess imbalances, and create a plan that brings you back into alignment, in every sense.
True expertise is more than knowledge—it’s knowing how to apply it with care, precision, and presence. Dr. Lucas Bennett brings together the science of chiropractic with a deep respect for each person’s unique body, story, and goals.
Whether you’re here to recover from pain, improve performance, or simply move through life with more ease, you’ll receive personalised, attentive care that meets you exactly where you are—and guides you toward where you want to be.
Because healing isn’t just about feeling better. It’s about moving better, living better, and feeling connected to yourself again.
