Before becoming a chiropractor, Eleonor worked as a massage therapist. A native of Sweden, she attended massage school in Gothenburg. While there, she was exposed to chiropractic care, as the school was considering offering it as a programme of study. Although that didn’t happen, Eleonor was able to try different chiropractic techniques.
The experience made her realise that there was so much more to the human body than simply massage. Then a relative of Eleonor married a chiropractor. Eleonor observed him adjusting patients and decided that she, too, would become a chiropractor.
