I have always played several sports including tennis, football and rugby union. My time spent playing rugby at school resulted an injury to my neck in a particularly poorly timed tackle for which I sought the help of a chiropractor after many years of suffering. The relief I felt after being under the care of a Chiropractor inspired me to enter the profession and having a family that included a GP and a nurse I was always interested in pursuing a health based career and after such a positive response to care this resulted in an application to study Chiropractic at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic in Wales and I still visit a Chiropractor regularly to this day.
I am a dedicated chiropractor who is passionate about providing exceptional care and promoting well-being. I graduated with a MChiro degree from AECC University College in Bournemouth. I possess a strong educational background and a deep understanding of chiropractic principles.
Prior to joining Guildford Spine Centre, I have gained valuable experience working at a renowned clinic in Kent, where I honed my skills and developed a profound commitment to patient-centered care. My time there allowed me to fine-tune my chiropractic techniques and establish a solid foundation in delivering effective treatment.
Sam joins our team as a qualified and registered Sports Therapist. 'My job is to firstly identify the obstacles and challenges which are preventing you from achieving these goals and then to either resolve the issue by my own hand or to advise and guide you on how to do so independently (often both are involved!)'.
Having received my training through one of the leading providers for Sports Therapy in the country (Active Health Group) I am equipped in offering a wide range of soft tissue manipulation techniques to counter the above-mentioned obstacles and challenges no matter how common or uncommon they may be.
