Dr Ryan Seaman
Chiropractor
I grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan Canada, with my parents and two sisters. The area has many similarities to Loxton; mainly family farms of medium size, mixed farming (wheat, barley, canola, peas, lentils, cattle and bison) and similar annual rainfall.
I met my wife, Lynley, when she was on the Agriventure farm exchange program on a nearby farm. The rest is history as they say and I moved to Perth in 2001 and have lived in Australia ever since. I worked my first few years in Australia as a Civil Engineer, then enrolled in Chiropractic at Murdoch University in WA in 2004.
We moved to Loxton in 2010, and have loved living here since. We found the community warm and welcoming. The community immediately invited us to get involved in many organisations and groups.
Lynley and I have 3 young daughters and love an active outdoor lifestyle. I enjoy cycling on a regular basis and have completed several rides in excess of 100 kms. I try to ride 2 times a week and would like to do more if time permitted. I also partake in CrossFit, which is a functional movement exercise program. I have found these sports keep me in shape for the demands of practice. I am a bit of a petrol head as well (no projects on the go at this time ).
Lynley Seaman
I am Lynley, co-owner of Seaman Chiropractic, a Nutritionist, former research scientist, proud mum of three daughters and wife to Dr Ryan. My interests are many, but I always come back to a love of nature and health, which go hand in hand quite nicely. I grew up in the Victorian Mallee on a wheat and sheep farm, a place I still feel deeply connected to, and wanted to be a Vet when I grew up! Instead, I pursued a career in plant science and spent many years working in herbicide resistance, weed science and conservation. In recent times I gained my master’s in human nutrition which really helped sort fact from fiction when it comes to eating for health.
Chiropractic is a really important part of my life, which I sought out as a young adult who suffered regular headaches. I have been a regular patient since, and lucky me is now married to a Chiropractor! I feel my best when I am adjusted regularly, am active, eating and sleeping well, and have a good balance between work, family and time for me (just like most people!) I am always up for an adventure or visiting someplace new and I seek out natural wonders.
Kathy Lockwood
Born and bred in Murray Bridge in South Australia, I am a country girl at heart. I met my husband in high school and we dated for a few years, before getting married and moving to Adelaide. There, we had 2 beautiful daughters, before moving to the Adelaide Hills and expanding our family to include 2 awesome boys.
My first job out of school was with a national telecommunications provider and I worked for them for 15 years, starting off in customer service and eventually travelling around Australia to provide systems training. After that, my husband and I decided that I would be a full-time stay-at-home mum, which was an awesome privilege for the 12 years that I did it.
My family moved to New Zealand in 2018, and enjoyed making some awesome memories in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, before moving back to Adelaide for work.
In my perfect world, life has beautiful beaches, interesting books, fabulous wine and cheese, great walking trails, heaps of music, lots of laughter and my amazing family and friends to share it all with. I also love hearing other people’s life stories, getting into their world and finding out what makes them tick.
Chiropractic care is central to my family’s health, as I want my family to be the best version of themselves that they can be. It keeps us functioning well in everything we do, from day-to-day activities, to work responsibilities, to sporting commitments and even sleeping.
Tegan Critchell
Hey there, I am Tegan the noisy one at the front desk of Seaman Chiropractic.
Born and bred in the Riverland (but originally from the other side of the river in Berri).
I live with my fiancé Jacob and our 2 fur-babies. Jacob is a Control Systems Engineer who runs his own company in the Riverland here so on the days that I am not in at the Chiropractor I am kept busy with that as well.
We live a very simple life and appreciate the little things, which are really the big things, like time with our families, sunshine, water be it at the river or the beach and keeping our bodies active, healthy, and strong. We are regulars at the gym and love home cooking to fuel our bodies the best way we can. We are music lovers and take lots of opportunities to travel and attend as many concerts as we can ranging from Country to Metal music (Dr Ryan is learning to accept my country music in the clinic… Hehehe.) I am an Essential Oil fanatic and love learning all the natural ways that we can support our bodies in this busy world.
We are so fortunate that I get to work in such a positive, supportive, and holistic environment with the best people ever to support our bodies even further to function as our best selves. Ryan’s chiropractic care has helped us both realise our true wellness potential and how well we can really feel. I have quite a severe case of Scoliosis and since receiving regular care I am moving and functioning better than I have in years.
I can’t wait to see all your smiling faces and welcome you into the clinic that I love so much.
