I wanted to Help People
Fortunately for me I was too young to be a skeptic, I became a chiropractic patient long before I even knew what the word meant and have been fortunate enough to pursue it as my career. Coming from a small town in Southern Africa
I remember how my parents, who were farmers, drove hours to take me to the local chiropractor for my adjustments. As a little boy in rural Africa, it seemed like magic how this man with massive hands could gently move my spine and help me get healthy and stay healthy. I suppose it’s then that I realized that I wanted to do what he does, I wanted to help people.

An Interest in Helping People
I first became interested in helping people as I played competitive sports from a young age. As I grew up in America, I started to play baseball at a high level through college and through this time, I knew that human performance was what I wanted to focus on.
I grew up in Missouri, USA and after suffering several brain injuries of my own from sports, I developed a passion for neurology. My passion lies within functional neurological rehabilitation and functional medicine.
Dr. Harriett Wragg DC, M.CHIRO
My Background
My first experience with Chiropractic was when I was barely a toddler, my parents noticed I had some problems with the way I walked and the Chiropractic College in Bournemouth(AECC) helped me overcome these challenges.
I again visited the college and had treatment when I was dancing, running and playing sports and chiropractic care helped me stay on track with my goals and with my sport.
Experiencing all these benefits motivated me to become part of this profession that helped people with their hands and knowledge of the human frame.
Dr Gareth Lloyd
My Background
I have always been interested in sports and the effect that sport can have on our health, especially through movement. My initial goal in life was to become a professional rugby player, however along this journey I had a severe injury to my knee which put a halt to that plan.
Rehabilitation of this injury could have been much better and this instilled in me the importance of early diagnosis combined with the correct rehabilitative care. After surgery I developed several issues which caused me months of pain and highlighted the importance of pain management.

Sports Massage Therapy and Personal Training
with Oliver Hale
Oliver Hale
Soft Tissue Therapist
My Background
A career that involves and promotes exercise and rehabilitation is something that fits me like a glove. Throughout my childhood I was growing too quick for my body to handle, causing me much pain and injuries in my daily life and whilst playing sports. With constant trips to Physiotherapists and Chiropractic clinics to ensure these injuries were monitored and dealt with made me soon realise that this is the profession, I wanted to peruse.
Once completing my A-levels in 2019, I focused immediately on gaining work experience in the health and injury rehabilitation sector, with Clacton Chiropractic Clinic being one of the clinics helping me gain work experience in this field. In the Autumn of 2019, I started a 3-year BSc in Sports Therapy which has led me to gain a 2:1 degree, lots of knowledge and experience on how the human body works. In my short career as a Sports Therapist, I have gained the most satisfaction from aiding other individuals in living a pain and stress free life as well as helping them keep fit enabling life to be lived to the fullest which everyone deserves.
Outside of being a Sports Therapist, I live a very active life. I spend most of my time either playing football, in a gym or on a golf course somewhere holding everyone else up. I also love going on holiday soaking up the sun or site seeing. I plan to undertake more studies allowing me to gain more knowledge and better myself as a therapist for the future.
I look forward to meeting you all soon!
