I’ve been a Chiropractor for over twenty years. Over those years I have helped thousands of people regain their health. The last time I checked I’d adjusted well over 100,000 times.

However, my experience of how spinal adjustment can transform lives started as a client following a nasty accident.

Aged 17 I hit a parked car on my push bike and went through the back windscreen.  A bit of a stiff neck became a serious problem several years later, severely affecting my shoulder and sleep.

At the age of 19, I was advised that I would need to take painkillers for the rest of my life. My mum suggested a Chiropractor. Within the first couple of weeks of care, I experienced a significant improvement. To date, it still hasn’t returned.  Of course, there have been a few injuries since then but getting adjusted and now using our K laser, is always my first choice for treatment. I’ve seen it personally and from the thousands of clients who I’ve helped that it’s the key to a speedy recovery. Ongoing wellness care has been a continual part of my healthy living lifestyle. 

I graduated with a B.Sc Hons degree in Applied Biology from Bath University in 1992.  After a few years of working in a hard science environment as a microbiologist, I chose to train as a Chiropractor.  After 4 years of training, I graduated and began my career in May 2000.

Whilst holding true to the principles of McTimoney Chiropractic, I mostly use Activator Chiropractic methods these days. I am one of the few Advanced Proficiency-rated Activator practitioners in the UK and, to date, the only one in Devon. I have also trained in several other techniques and will use them as required.  I am proud to say that the bulk of my referrals come from personal recommendations.

Simply put, once the client’s problem is diagnosed, I use a variety of skills to create a bespoke treatment which will fit their individual healthcare needs.
