Meet Our Team
Dr. Brandon Kehoe, Chiropractor and Co-owner
Dr. Brandon Kehoe is a chiropractor and co-owner of Restore Health and Sport in New Minas, located in the heart of the Annapolis Valley. He operates the clinic alongside Dr. Jenny Connolly, with a shared focus on providing collaborative, patient-centred care. Growing up in Falmouth, Brandon spent much of his youth involved in sports, including kayaking, hockey, and volleyball.
Brandon earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Mount Allison University before completing his Doctor of Chiropractic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Since entering practice in 2021, he has taken a comprehensive and individualized approach to care, recognizing that no two patients are alike. His treatment plans are built around each person’s goals, needs, and presentation, and may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, acupuncture, radial shockwave therapy, laser therapy, and tailored exercise programs. He also works closely with the rest of the Restore Health and Sport team to help patients receive well-rounded, multidisciplinary care.
Brandon has pursued advanced training in several areas of musculoskeletal care. This includes neurodynamics for nerve-related conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and lumbar stenosis; the Shift Concussion Management Program for concussion care; integrated needling; and the Selective Functional Movement Assessment, which helps guide movement-based rehabilitation. He is also certified through GLA:D Canada for arthritis management. Dr. Brandon is a member of the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors and the Canadian Chiropractic Association.
Outside the clinic, Brandon enjoys disc golf, curling, and spending time with his son Reilly and dog Ollie, who often tags along to keep him company at work.
Dr. Jenny Connolly, Chiropractor and Co-owner
Dr. Jenny Connolly's path to chiropractic started on the ice. Growing up in Newfoundland as a competitive hockey player, she had her share of sports injuries — and learned firsthand how the right hands-on care could keep her in the game. That experience shaped the career that followed.
Jenny earned her Bachelor of Physical Education from Memorial University, then completed her Doctor of Chiropractic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. In practice since 2021, she treats acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions with an evidence-based, individualized approach that pairs hands-on treatment with exercise prescription and patient education.
Her methods include spinal adjustments and mobilizations, Active Release Techniques (ART), instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy, and radial shockwave therapy. She holds additional certifications in Functional Range Release (FRR), Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), and GLA:D (Good Life with osteoArthritis: Denmark), and is always building on her clinical skills. Jenny is a member of the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors and the Canadian Chiropractic Association.
Outside the clinic, Jenny enjoys running and getting outdoors for walks with her son Reilly and their dog Ollie. She's dedicated to giving patients the tools to take an active role in their own health and feel their best, day to day.
