CRAIG DE GROOT

Chiropractor

DC, CCEP

Registered member of the General Chiropractic Council

I trained as a Chiropractor in Durban, South Africa, completing my studies in 1998. In South Africa I worked in the professional sports field as part of multidisciplinary health care teams and in a busy private practice. After emigrating to England in 1999, I have continued to work in multidisciplinary clinics specializing in musculo-skeletal and orthopaedic dysfunctions. I am a certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner and a certified Graston Technique soft tissue practitioner. My Chiropractic philosophy is based on integrating the physical, emotional and chemical well-being of the body to attain maximum health status. I have a special interest in treating spinal dysfunction, chronic neck pain and headaches.

 

Weekends see me playing or watching sport and spending time with my family.

ALEXANDER MANNING

Chiropractor
MChiro DC
Registered member of the General Chiropractic Council

I have always been eager to help people which led me to healthcare. I decided to join the chiropractic profession due to its hands-on approach towards enhancing the function of the nervous system whilst looking at the body as a whole. During my time studying at the University of South Wales, I took further courses in sports massage and kinesiology taping which I can utilise as part of an individualised package of care.

 

I will consider your personal goals and listen to your story when we decide a treatment plan tailored towards you and your general wellness. I also take a biopsychosocial approach to care which addresses factors from the body to the mind, helping you tune in to your body's full potential.

 

In my spare time I enjoy following Bristol Rovers as well as playing golf and darts, alongside hiking up the Welsh mountains.

I have always been interested in health and well-being and I have always wanted to help other people. With an ageing population, many people suffering with obesity and a general lack of foot health professionals, my calling was to help people with their feet.

AVIVA STOCH

Massage Therapist
MTI Level 4

I am a Level 4 qualified Holistic Massage Therapist with an interest in how the body works and interacts. This relates to injury and lifestyle, and my practice considers all these aspects.

 

Every body is different and unique and so is every massage, with depth and pressure all tailored to the individual.

 

Massage is an incredible away to relieve pain and tightness in the body. By using a range of techniques, the body is eased into a relaxed state where healing is allowed to happen in a variety of forms.

 

I am also a dancer and a lover of nature and being outdoors. Massage has proven to be an invaluable tool for helping me be more comfortable in my body and for recovering from injuries. It is important to be as happy as possible in our bodies and I bring this acknowledgement and care to my practice.
