Rod qualified from the Surrey Institute of Osteopathic Medicine and completed further training in western acupuncture. He has recently attended further training courses in the treatment of post-natal 

mums and in the management of chronic pain. Rod previously worked as a professional sports therapist and personal trainer; as such he has a keen interest in sports injuries. He has successfully treated a wide variety of patients from international rugby stars to professional dancers, and teenagers with postural issues to senior citizens.

He suggests the most effective way of achieving the best possible results for patients is through a combined approach to patient management, which includes addressing factors relating to posture, exercise, diet and lifestyle in addition to his manual osteopathic treatment.

Chloé started her Chiropractic training in 2013 and moved to the UK to work as a Chiropractor in 2019. She studied in France (beautiful country, great food) at the IFEC (Institut Franco-Européen de Chiropraxie) but with a passion for adventure she decided to move to the North of England.

Chloé is an intuitive person, and a self-confessed perfectionist. She loves the complexity of the human body, and trying to get to the root of issues within and to treat areas in need of help. She loves to actively listen to her patients concerns, understand their goals and work together to find resolutions to their presenting complaints. She uses a range of treatment modalities such as manual therapy, spinal manipulation (clicking and popping joints to you and I), joint manipulation, massage techniques and exercise / lifestyle / dietary advice.

In her spare time, she loves to cook and is always looking for great spots to enjoy good food. She practices what she preaches and can often be found doing yoga and using the gym.

Chloe believes that it is important to have a good balance between what our bodies and mind needs. Chiropractic helps both sides of this, by enhancing your body’s potential to heal itself and push it to perform properly for every single movement, challenge and activity you undertake.
