Dr. Matthew Bradshaw was raised in Denver, Colorado. For as long as he can remember, he has been health- and sports-oriented. His stepfather is a chiropractor, too, and Matt was raised on natural healing principles.

He played soccer and golf at an early age, playing both all the way through four years of college at the University of Colorado – Boulder. After four more years of school at Life Chiropractic College West, Dr. Bradshaw graduated with a Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2000. He also met his wife, Dr. Hilary Rutledge, while attending Life West.

Soon after graduating, Dr. Bradshaw and Dr. Rutledge had their first son, Noah, in 2001. Between this time and the birth of their son Levi in 2005, Dr. Bradshaw completed a three-year postgraduate course in active release technique (ART). He was fully credentialed before moving his family to Wilmington, where he opened the Leland branch of ChiroCynergy in 2007, with the Wilmington branch following in 2011.
