CHIROPRACTOR & CLINIC DIRECTOR
GCC Registration 02973
My name is Kerri, and I originally discovered chiropractic through personal experience. Working as a theatrical stage and production manager in the early 1990′s led to the inevitable low back pain. Following a successful course of chiropractic treatment, I decided to retrain as one and spent 5 years full-time at the Anglo European College of Chiropractic. I graduated in 2008 with Masters degree with Distinction in Chiropractic.
Further qualifications include a Postgraduate Certificate in Chiropractic Practice, a Diploma in Western Medical Acupuncture and a Postgraduate Diploma in Animal Chiropractic. I am registered with the General Chiropractic Council and am a member of the British Chiropractic Association, the Royal College of Chiropractors, the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association and the British Veterinary Chiropractic Association.
Additionally, I’m a registered PRT Trainer with the Royal College of Chiropractors. This means I am able to guide and mentor new graduates through their first 18 months of practice. For the last four years I have also taught practical orthopaedics classes on the Teesside University Chiropractic Masters degree course.
In the clinic I use a variety of treatments as part of my chiropractic management strategy. These include manipulation, massage and trigger point therapy, fascial release techniques, activator technique, sacro-occipital technique (SOT), western medical acupuncture (also known as ‘dry needling’) and rehabilitation exercises and lifestyle advice.
I always discuss treatment options with my patients to make sure they are comfortable with what I’m proposing. I particularly enjoy the challenge of working out a tricky case!
My favourite part of being a chiropractor is being able to provide practical treatment and help for my patients. I love seeing them return to the activities they enjoy following chiropractic management – be that gardening, knitting or kite surfing! It is great to be able to be part of that transformation
Outside work my interests include enjoying spending time with my family (both two and four-legged!), horse training and riding, walking, gardening and camper vanning.

Hello I’m Jack!
I’m from Sunderland and I originally got involved in Chiropractic because I was a keen football player when I was younger. I found myself injury prone which led me into the world of healthcare and rehabilitation, so it’s safe to say that everything that I do is tried and tested! My experiences as a young sportsperson led me to be fascinated in everything I was doing and how I could prevent it from occurring in the future.
I have a special interest in sports, movement and rehabilitation. My approach to practice is working in co-operation with you so you can become the version of yourself you want to be. Together we produce a tailor-made management plan that will benefit you. A number of different techniques feature in my practice such as manipulation, mobilisation and soft tissue work.
Treating people from all different walks of life is very rewarding. As is helping you understand everything that is going on and how you can improve whatever situation you find yourself in. I have always loved puzzles and problem solving so I enjoy the more unusual case. A graduate of the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic I am also a member of the British Chiropractic Association.
In my spare time I am an avid gym goer with a focus on strength training and enjoy sports such as football, boxing and MMA. This really helps me use all my knowledge of the biomechanical aspect of sports and technique to help to improve your functionality.

Hi. My name is Emily and I’m from Teesside.
I first discovered chiropractic after I shadowed the team at Stockton Chiropractic Clinic when I was at college. When I was younger I saw my fair share of healthcare professionals. One of the team at Stockton Chiropractic Clinic offered to help with my neck pain, which I had been suffering with since being in a car accident. After seeing the results from this I decided that Chiropractic was the right career for me, and went on to study at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic.
I am now a proud member of the British Chiropractic Association as well as the Royal College of Chiropractic.
In the clinic I use a variety of treatment modalities to best suit each individual in order to provide a personalised care plan. This can involve manipulation, trigger point therapy, active release, massage, activator technique and I am qualified in Western Medical Acupuncture. I also ensure to include rehabilitation and lifestyle advice to help your recovery.
I have always had a keen interest in sport after being a competitive swimmer and runner when I was younger. Now in my spare time I enjoy going to the gym and doing weight training. I also really enjoy going on hikes with friends and spending time outdoors.
so, I look forward to meeting you all and getting the opportunity to work with you!

I’m Chris
I first required chiropractic treatment after an accident which left me with back and leg pains. This was mid-way through my first science degree at Leeds Metropolitan. I was so pleased with the results of my chiropractic care that I decided to attend the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) after finishing my degree at Leeds.
Completing 4 years at the AECC I attained my Masters degree in chiropractic in 2007. In 2010 I studied animal chiropractic, again at the AECC. I went on to also treat horses and dogs in the northeast of England.
At Stockton Chiropractic Clinic I use a variety of techniques as part of my chiropractic management plans. This includes joint manipulation/adjustment, trigger point therapy, sacro-occipital technique and rehabilitation exercises and lifestyle advice. My interests in nutrition, stress, sleep quality and exercise are all a part of looking at the whole person.
In my spare time I like to play tennis and do strength training using only my own body weight.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you!

My name is Rachel
From Teesside, I graduated with a degree in Sports Therapy in 2013. I was driven by my longstanding passion for sports, which includes participation in activities such as horse riding, netball, and hockey. In January 2014, I joined Stockton Chiropractic Clinic as a sports therapist. Here I discovered my dedication to helping individuals recover from injuries and return to their chosen activities.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with various rugby teams. It provided me with remarkable opportunities to travel, including trips to Australia and Dubai. My experiences as part of the team at Stockton chiropractic clinic deepened my appreciation for chiropractic care, prompting me to return to university to pursue a degree in Chiropractic.
I graduated from Teesside University as part of its inaugural cohort in July 2024. Since then, I integrate my expertise in sports therapy and chiropractic care to develop comprehensive treatment and management plans for my patients. It is incredibly rewarding to see their progress and achievements.
In addition to my clinical work, I have been practicing Pilates since childhood and I completed my matwork certification with The Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute in 2014. As a Pilates instructor I teach various classes and one-on-one sessions, helping people improve their strength, flexibility, balance, and overall well-being. I have also pursued continuing professional development in specialised areas, including Pilates for menopause, ante-natal and post-natal Pilates, HIIT Pilates and Reformer Pilates.
To complement my Pilates instruction, I hold qualifications in personal training and fitness instruction. These allow me to create tailored management plans that align with individual goals and training preferences.
Outside of my professional commitments, I maintain an active lifestyle by regularly training at the gym, focusing on weight training and cardiovascular exercise. I also enjoy spending time outdoors going for walks with my two dogs, who keep me busy.
Simon Hunter
MASSAGE THERAPIST
My name is Simon
I have been working as a sports therapist based in Hartlepool for the last twenty five years have had the pleasure of working with some amazing therapists here in Stockton over that time.
After becoming ill due to the chemicals I was working with in my previous job I needed to find a new career. I decided to retrain as a therapist. Although going back to education wasn’t easy I was determined to embark on this new health focused path.
Over the years I have trained in many different therapies and continue to educate myself through books and courses as well as working alongside other therapists.
For the past nine years I have been training as a craniosacral therapist. This is a very gentle non invasive treatment working with the connective tissue, cranial bones, nervous system and the emotional side of pain and trauma.
I use many therapies in my daily work looking at the mechanics of movement, muscular and connective tissue restrictions. A trained clinical hypnotherapist, I have also studied N.L.P (Neuro Linguistic Programming). N.L.P helps me to better understand how pain and discomfort can have an effect on our emotional health.
I now have the pleasure of doing a job I love and am passionate about.
In my spare time I love spending time with family, walking, camping and enjoying the countryside.
