Hi, it’s nice to meet you.

I’m Dr. Taylor Cooksley, a chiropractor in Nelson, BC. I’m originally from Edmonton, AB and completed my post secondary education in Calgary, AB and Portland, Oregon. I grew up spending most of my time acting and dancing, and am formally trained in many dance genres. It was through my active lifestyle that I grew interested in human movement and biomechanics. I went on to pursue a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree at The University of Calgary, then moved to Portland, Oregon where I completed my Doctor of Chiropractic degree at The University of Western States.

While in chiropractic school, I stayed close to my roots and took many seminars on sports rehabilitation to further understand how to use movement to diagnose and treat many conditions. I am also formally trained in Active Release Technique (ART), Smart Tools (a soft tissue technique similar to Graston), Clincial Neurodynamics, and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) Exercise techniques.

I love working with all patients, from new and expecting mothers and their children (even babies!) to athletes to the aging population. I understand that each patient is unique and deserves an individualized treatment plan. No matter who you are, I want to keep you moving so you can keep doing what you love!

When I am not treating patients, you can find me taking dance classes, walking my two dogs, hitting the ski slopes or the hiking trails, baking, or reading.
