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 natural way of treating a variety of conditions 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 my individualised package of care with my patients. I have a special interest in neurology and headache presentations.

I will take your personal goals into consideration and listen to your story when we decide a treatment plan that will suit you. I also take a biopsychosocial approach to care which addresses factors from the body to the mind.

In my spare time I enjoy (if that's the correct word) following Bristol Rovers as well as playing golf and darts, alongside hiking up the Welsh mountains.

MOIRA DE GROOT

Foot Health Practitioner
DipCFHP, MPSPract

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. I am delighted to have qualified through the College of Foot Health Professionals in Blackheath, the only Foot Health Practitioner course recognised by the Professional Standards Authority. I have been trained in all elements of foot care and look forward to helping you and your feet.

LAUREN SMALL

Massage Therapist
MTI APNT

I am fascinated by the ‘mechanics’ of the body and how everything is connected. I qualified as a Massage Therapy practitioner with the Massage Training Institute in 2015.

Working within clinics, health spas and workplaces, I have developed a holistic approach, consulting with my clients about lifestyle factors that could be contributing to their issues, such as physical activities, emotional factors, ergonomics and environment. I adapt the depth and pressure of the massage to the level appropriate for each client - as with everything, there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach.

When I’m not massaging, you’ll find me drinking coffee, out walking in the countryside, and teaching Martial Arts.

CHEZ DUNFORD

Holistic, Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist

MTI Level 5

I am a well-being practitioner working between massage therapy, community facilitation and performance.

I trained in Holistic Massage Therapy at Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork in 2015 and continued my journey into Sports and Remedial Massage in 2021. I offer Pregnancy Massage and am happy to discuss treatment options when you would like to.

I believe massage can be a direct route to your healing process and in working together we can support a more relaxed experience in your body and even increase your movement range.

Here at Willow Brook Clinic I tailor each massage treatment to your individual needs, taking into consideration your body’s stories, postural habits, injury recovery and prevention, movement patterns and how you live in your body. I am an inclusive practitioner and work in response to where you are. I look forward to welcoming you into the clinic.

AVIVA STOCH

Massage Therapist
MTI Level 4

I am a Level 4 qualified Holistic Massage Therapist with an interest in how the 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.

KAREN FERGUSON

Practice Manager

"Karen joined Willow Brook Clinic when we opened in 2009. The easiest way to explain what Karen does is to say that she is the thread that holds our whole clinic together. With so many different disciplines at Willow Brook Clinic there are a lot of demands for a practice manager to fulfill - Karen knows what to do every single time!"
