Narrative: Mainstream chiropractic was introduced into Australasia in 1914 through Henry Otterholt, a Palmer graduate, who set up practice in Dunedin, New Zealand. Walter Williams, Helen MacKenzie, Hector and Janet McBeath, had been referred to the Palmer School by Otterholt. The fifth practitioner was Mary Emma Redmond, an Australian, who had been referred to Palmer by Harold Williams.
Most remarkable is the story of Dr Ross Coulthard, which I present in detail drawing from personal information, historical research and oral histories.
We honour our Chiropractic pioneers by remembering them and connecting with their stories.
