Chiropractor
Dr. Hopper is a Neurostructural Chiropractor who focuses on restoring the full body function of patients, using a variety of specific Chiropractic techniques as well as soft tissue therapies and Functional Fitness. Upon obtaining his Doctorate from Life University in Marietta, Georgia, he returned home to Bermuda to promptly open his own Chiropractic clinic in 1998. Over the last 18 years he has helped thousands of residents and visitors restore function to their body. After running a successful practice in Bermuda for 5 years, he decided to take his experience to New York City, where he joined a large practice on Park Avenue in the heart of Manhattan. This stage of his career was very enriching, as he not only experienced the daily demands of a large community, but also gave him exposure to a wide variety of challenging cases. He returned to Bermuda in 2004 and since then has continued to do what he does best – provide quality Chiropractic care to all.
Dr. Hopper specializes in the treatment of AHS (anterior head syndrome), migraines, tension headaches, causes of Sciatica, low, mid and upper back pain, pelvic dysfunction, frozen shoulder, and overall musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Among the extensive and continuous education Chiropractic requires, he has developed a recent interest in the methods of Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), which focuses on golf performance and injury prevention. Upon completing his certification, he is eager to provide an additional service to the Bermuda golf community. As his practice expands to better serve Bermuda, Dr. Hopper is excited to welcome his wife on board with the merging of their companies, which will only enhance the quality of the services patients have been relying on for years.
Dr. Hopper’s mission prioritizes individuality, as each patient and case is unique. He therefore helps people of all ages to express a greater degree of human function, overall health and well-being, through non-invasive, natural, gentle and effective Chiropractic therapies, regardless of the presence or absence of conditions or symptoms, and always keeping in mind the detrimental effects of stress on the nervous system, and the state of one’s body and mind. He strives to offer personalized care and leading lifestyle education and expertise, as well as the most modern technologies available in the Chiropractic profession.
Chiropractor
Growing up in Bristol, England, Dr. Luckwell was very rarely indoors. He spent time riding horses, playing rugby, and just generally being outside. At 15, he was involved in an accident that left him unable to do either activity, due to a lower back fracture and subsequent chronic pain. After seeing a Chiropractor, he was enabled to be pain free and most importantly; get back to competing. This experience greatly influenced his choice to become a Chiropractor.
Upon graduating with honours from BPP University in the UK, Dr. Luckwell spent some years working with one of the leading Chiropractors in London. After which, he spent two years practicing Chiropractic medicine in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Seeking a warmer climate and new professional opportunities, he gladly accepted the offer to join Dr. Hopper at Revive Health Center in Bermuda.
Dr. Luckwell has a professional interest and great success treating headaches and neck pain. He uses a holistic model to find and fix the underlying causes, with a focus on the physical, psychological and chemical stresses that heavily contribute to his patients’ headaches, neck and back pain. Due to Dr. Luckwells personal experience of losing 70 lbs, he understands the importance of making sustainable lifestyle changes; promoting healthy habits, both inside and outside of the workplace.
While in Bermuda, Dr. Luckwell thoroughly looks forward to making friends, getting out on the water and enjoying the sunshine! He’s also hoping to be an active part of the rugby and riding community.
Dr. Luckwell has had great success treating a range of his patients’ musculoskeletal issues, including lower back and neck pain. As a Chiropractor, his clinical focus in his day-to-day practice is the diagnosis and management of headaches and migraines. He invariably sees patients who have experienced symptoms over the course of several months or years. Some have had several medical interventions or have taken headache prescriptions without having previously addressed the physical causes, such as neck disfunction, psychological stress or even chemical stresses such as diet, which are invariably massive contributors to their headaches. By making small and achievable improvements to the function of patient’s bodies and habits and keeping these changes consistent, he has succeeded in making a great difference to his patients’ lives, achieving short term reductions in pain and symptoms and most importantly, allowing them then to continue to live pain free.
Dr. Luckwell’s mission at Revive Health Center is to empower individuals to take proactive steps towards achieving optimal musculoskeletal health and overall wellness. Through communication and education, personalized treatment plans, and a holistic approach, his aim is to help patients out of their pain, achieve their health goals and as a result, improve their quality of life. His goal is to be a trusted and knowledgeable resource to our community, and to foster a culture of wellness that prioritizes a preventive mindset when it comes to health and self-care.
Certified Personal Trainer
Nutrition Consultant
Wellness Coach
Sandra has been a fitness professional for over 10 years, certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE), a certification held accredited by the Medical Fitness Association (MFA). Wellness comes naturally to her, a real life long passion leading her to study Fitness, Nutrition and multiple areas of general health and wellness for most of her adult life.
Upon getting licensed, she had a defined goal of starting her own company. She was offered a job at a health club in Bermuda and despite of it being a multi faceted position proportioning good experience in the field, she soon decided to take the career path she originally envisioned. Sandra founded Equilibrio Fitness soon after, and began then the fulfilling and rewarding career she craved and believed in, where fitness and nutrition can be taught and instructed on a personal level, where quality surpasses quantity.
Sandra has since then worked with hundreds of clients and families of different origins and ages, either on a One-on-One or Small Group training approach. She later developed a passion for Corporate Wellness. After getting specialized, she has had the privilege to work closely with some corporations in Bermuda at a professional and personal level. Sandra is also specialized in One-on-One Personal and Small Group Training, Wellness and Nutrition coaching, Ergonomics, Postural Rehabilitation, Sports Performance, Core Conditioning, Pre & Post Natal Fitness, High Intensity Interval Training and Functional Fitness. She is well known for her training style, which is not only fun filled, but also effective and goal focused. “It’s usually a love-hate relationship” as she says jokingly, “but full of mutual respect, encouragement and laughs”.
When asked about her children, she says that motherhood has been her best accomplishment yet. After having to return to work soon after her son was born, she recalls it as being a very overwhelming phase of her career as a new mom and business owner. She gave birth to her daughter 4 years later, and decided to take a longer break this time around to focus on motherhood. During this time Sandra faced health challenges of her own, and despite of some setbacks, she looks at it as enriching. “It redefined who I am as a professional and made me more diligent, while developing a deeper level of empathy towards the challenges of others. Above all, equipped me to help clients at a closer level.” She lives an active and family oriented life-style, where family and health come first.
Professionally, she focuses on providing high quality programs to clients and general public with upmost integrity, and believes that movement is a key piece of the puzzle, when it comes to mental, physical, and emotional health. “When you focus on individuality as opposed to competition, the results are amazing. We live in a time of body image misconceptions that emphasize unrealistic bodies and send unhealthy messages to society. This in itself is a reason why many quit exercise regimens, and feel discouraged or inadequate. It is my job to not only address these factors and implement effective personalized programs, but to also to encourage realistic goals. As a mother of young children and as fitness professional it is my responsibility to educate on and encourage self-esteem when it comes to body image. Our body is a unique gift, and what better way to cherish it when it is fundamentally healthy and functioning at its best.”
Sandra is excited about the merge of Equilibrio Fitness with Hopper Chiropractic Center. “It is a great space. From day one we could see ourselves getting together professionally, as what I do complements what Marc does and vice-versa. We are excited to be able to offer additional services to patients. It has been an exciting project in which we put long hours and hard work into, but we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.”
