Originally from London, I graduated from the prestigious Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, Bournemouth in 2000 and have been living and working in Cheshire and Manchester since 2001. I took over the clinics in Alderley and Didsbury in 2007.
As well as the clinics, I have worked for a number of professional football clubs. I spent 8 years working in-house with clubs, but now just see players on a private basis in the clinic. I am one of only a handful of chiropractors in the UK to have worked at Premier League football clubs.

As a keen sportsman I fully appreciate the benefit of chiropractic, physiotherapy and sports massage. After a serious fall in 2008 I elected not to have the proposed operation on my shoulder and 12 weeks later completed the Blenheim Triathlon, following fantastic treatment from my chiro and physio colleagues.

When not at work I enjoy keeping fit, dabling in a number of different sports (depending on the season, weather and time!), cooking and a bit of DIY. I’ve done a number of events over the years but the biggest, most recent, was my first marathon two years ago (a much overdue thing I said I’d do before I was 40!). I have an amazing wife Sophie, two kids growing up fast in secondary school and last but by no means least our lovely cockapoo Freddie.

If you’d like to talk about whether I may be able to help you please call the clinic or drop the clinic an email and I’ll be more than happy to do so.

Sophie qualified as a Doctor of Chiropractic from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, with distinction, where she received awards for both Leadership and Graduate of the Year. Her interest in chiropractic began when she witnessed various family members gain huge benefit from chiropractic treatment, ranging from rugby injuries to chronic back pain. Seeing how chiropractic could help so many different people, from all walks of life, ultimately led Sophie to pursuing a career as a chiropractor.

Whilst studying at university Sophie was a very active member of the student community and displayed her excellent leadership qualities. As well as being President of the Chiropractic Student Society, Sophie was a committed course representative and a dedicated member of the World Congress of Chiropractic Students, travelling to South Africa, Australia, and Denmark to represent the university. Alongside her studies, she played netball for the university team, moving towards umpiring in recent years.

She also enjoys following rugby whenever she can. Sophie enjoys treating a range of patients and conditions, with a special interest in the treatment of athletes and sporting injuries. She uses a variety of techniques during treatments to reach the best possible outcome for her patients, and she is eager to add more skills to her toolbox through additional studies. Through her thorough approach to treatment, Sophie aims to reduce pain and return patients to optimal function, as well as preventing the recurrence of injuries. She believes this, as well as encouraging patients to take an active role in their recovery, is vital to maintaining both physical and mental health.

I really enjoy meeting & greeting our patients & find it immensely satisfying to work alongside a team of practitioners who are able to draw from a wealth of knowledge and experience to provide treatment which can help make a difference to the general wellbeing of their patients. When not at work I enjoy spending quality time with family & friends, particularly visiting two of my sisters in Wales where lovely coastal & country walks are only minutes away. When the opportunity arises, I also enjoy ‘hopping’ over the channel to France. I have done a number of house-sitting jobs there over the years in various regions of the country, including Pay-de-la-Loire, Limousin, Aquitaine & Pyrenees. This enabled me to gain a taster of life in France – ‘tres bon’ 😊!
