All our Chiropractors studied at an accredited University for a minimum of four-years, full-time, to obtain a degree in Chiropractic. The degree course is followed by a post-graduate year spent in a Chiropractic clinic with the support of a qualified trainer. Upon successful completion of this the student is awarded the Diploma in Chiropractic (DC). All our Chiropractors have Statutory Registration through the General Chiropractic Council. In order to retain their registration and keep their knowledge up to date, Chiropractors have to attend Continuation of Professional Development (CPD) courses annually.
Siân Rees
I have wanted to be a Chiropractor since I was 14 years of age, and still after six years in practice there is nothing that I would rather be doing. Being a Chiropractor isn’t a job it’s a lifestyle. I spend my days encouraging patients to make certain lifestyle choices and I live them myself, so I know that they work.
.It is my aim to help as many people as possible understand the importance of Chiropractic treatment, similar to the way that people understand the importance of regular dental check-ups.
I welcome you to our clinic and very much look forward to meeting you.
Jason O’Connor
I am now in my sixth year of working as a Chiropractor. I feel my passion for my profession is growing by each patient I see. Seeing the results I have over the past few years is the most satisfying part of my job. My cases have varied from treating mechanical low back pain to shoulder and neck conditions such as whiplash and frozen shoulders. To more unusual conditions like 93-year-old ladies who want to be more active!
I have a personal interest in sport injuries after playing sport at high level including, rugby at Leicester Tigers. My main aim as a Chiropractor is to educate my patients in correcting the cause of their condition as well as improving their overall health. Most people do not realise the in depth nutrition and exercise advice we offer. I believe in illness prevention rather than waiting until you are diagnosed with a condition and relay on drugs or surgery to treat your symptoms.
Elena Rosseel
Elena Rosseel has now joined the clinic as Advanced Health’s third Chiropractor. The clinic has gone from strength to strength since it opened in November 2005 and is now delighted to welcome Elena Rosseel to the team. Elena, who was born in Belgium, was exposed to Chiropractic principles from a very young age. Her dad is a Chiropractor and gave her her first adjustment when she was just one day old. When deciding what to study at university, although Elena had a wide range of interests, a career in Chiropractic was the most appealing, even though it meant moving to the UK as there are no courses in Belgium. Elena moved to Bournemouth to study a master’s degree in Chiropractic at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, during which time she developed a special interest in pregnancy and paediatric care. After attaining her masters of Chiropractic degree with merit, Elena undertook further training in this area as she
feels it is important to optimise the nervous system from an early age to prevent problems in later life. When asked why Elena decided to move to Harrogate instead of returning to Belgium she replied, “I decided to work in the UK as I was impressed with the high standard of care and approach at Advanced Health. I felt this job provided a supportive environment which would allow me to further my interests and that I could learn a lot from Sian and Jason. So far I have really enjoyed living in Harrogate, but I am not used to the cold yet!”
