Biography

Meet James

I have been a Chiropractor for over 20 years, graduating in 2002 from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth. Coming from a medical family, I suppose I was destined to work in the healthcare field. I have always been fascinated by the complexities of the human body — how it works, how it falters, and how it can be repaired.

I considered studying Medicine, Osteopathy, Physiotherapy or Chiropractic, but Chiropractic interested me the most. After five years of study, I qualified as a Chiropractor and began a career that has taken me through many different clinical settings, from small single-practitioner clinics to large multidisciplinary practices. I also had the unique experience of providing chiropractic care in an industrial setting while working at HUM (Honda UK Manufacturing) in Swindon.

Throughout these varied roles, I have stayed true to my core principle of providing evidence-based treatment to restore function and resolve symptoms. I have trained in a range of techniques including Dry Needling (medical acupuncture), KT taping and extremity adjusting. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, recognising that what works for one person may not work for another.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my partner Claire and our two young daughters, Esme and Zoë. I’m an avid Gloucester Rugby supporter and enjoy following various motorsports.

Real Experiences, Real Results

From Paul Clayton

For Sam Lane, Physio

I was very impressed with Sam’s knowledge and professionalism. I am confident that he will help me with my issues.

From Maris Cole

For Sam Lane, Physio

I was seen on time. The form I submitted beforehand had been read, was referred to and set the context for my visit. My problem was with my left foot and leg. The examination compared both feet to detect possible sources of my problem.

From Nicky Shepley

For Georgina King, Sports Therapist

I was very optimistic about a good outcome as she totally understands my problems and has a very encouraging attitude

From Pete Berryman

For Matt Sherrington, Physio

Fantastic…really good to have a proper discussion about the issue, plus get a holistic view as to the overall issues…AND a whole lot better afterwards!

From Lawson Jenkins

For Matt Sherrington, Physio

Excellent physio session with Matt during which he worked to improve the movement in my lower back, shoulder and (arthritic) neck. Everything feels, and is, more mobile and, in particular, my neck pain had significantly reduced and is hardly noticeable.

From Ann Skinner

For Ria Woodland, Podiatrist

I really appreciate Ria’s knowledge, caring and enthusiasm. It gives me hope that I may be able to reduce my pain to manageable levels and carry on doing the things I love without the need for surgery”

From John Florence

For James Forrester-Wood

James acted very professional, put you at ease, at the same time laughed and joked at the right time. Thoroughly recommend

From Rachel Bostock

For Liz Walker, Foot Health Practitioner

Liz was brilliant. I was hesitant about having someone look at my feet as it can be a bit embarrassing. I wish I’d done it sooner. My feet feel so much better and the experience was really lovely. All of the staff I met at the clinic were lovely too.

From Michelle Stamp

For Liz Walker, Foot Health Practitioner

Liz was amazing! I felt at ease and Liz knew exactly what to do and what the problem was. It was my first appointment and I am so grateful as my pain has gone. Liz gave me some good advice too. Really happy and would definitely recommend Liz
