From City Clinics To Coastal Care With Chiropractor Hasan Helou

After Holidaying in Airlie Beach with his wife and kids for over 14 years, Dr. Hasan Helou decided in 2021 that it was time to start living here instead.

Relocating with his wife and two kids from Melbourne, where he obtained his degree from RMIT, Helou has since been working with Barefoot Medicine Whitsundays, bringing with him his wealth of experience as a chiropractor.

Helou works with a broad range of clients, from young children to older adults. His treatments include dry needling, soft tissue work, cupping, and kinesiology taping, as well as prescription exercises specially tailored to each patient.

Whether it’s helping an athlete get back on the field or assisting someone through post-injury rehab, Hasan’s goal is simple: to heal bodies, support minds, and serve his community.

“I just enjoy working with people and helping the community,” said Helou.

“There's an interrelationship between body and emotional state and physical state and mental state… and so, it's not only about getting their bodies in tune, it’s also related with their mind as well.”

Dr. Helou has been a long-time admirer of the Whitsundays community. “We fell in love with it 15 years ago and eventually I said ‘you know what? Let's do it,’ and we’ve never looked back. We love it here," he said.

"We just love the slowed-down pace, and I think having the kids in this close-knit community, in a country environment, is so much better."
