DOCTOR of CHIROPRACTIC
FOUNDER
Ruth graduated with honours from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic in 2004. Since this time she has been working in private clinics throughout the area of south west London and Surrey and has built up an excellent reputation within the communities of these clinics, thanks to her success in the treatment of a wide spectrum of patients from children and pregnant women, to athletes and the elderly. During her professional career she has developed her interests and trained further in dry needling, rehabilitation, pregnancy and paediatrics, IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation), kinesiology taping and is a qualified CCEP (Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner). The extremity work is particularly important when treating sports injuries. Her history in professional dance gives her a unique foundation to help understand the stresses put through the body by such strenuous physical activities. In 2006 Ruth established her clinic in Weybridge and in 2015 has expanded with a clinic in St Margaret’s where she has built a team of like-minded professionals providing the best quality care in musculoskeletal health for the community. The techniques that Ruth uses will vary depending upon the requirements of the individual. Techniques may include diversified adjusting, mobilisation, extremity specific adjustments, cranial therapy, trigger point therapy, scar tissue treatment, dry needling, exercise and rehabilitation, active and passive releases, fascial unwinding, IASTM and taping. Ruth is registered with the GCC and is a member of the British Chiropractic Association, the Council on Extremity Adjusting and the International Chiropractic Association Council on Chiropractic Paediatrics.
Ruth is recognised by BUPA, AXA PPP, HSA and most other UK and international insurers.

For Zara, one of the many joys of being a Chiropractor is the capacity to work with people from all walks of life. Her purpose is to be present and connect with those she cares for, to work together to improve their health and overall wellbeing.
Outside of practice, you can find Zara delving into a diverse array of hobbies. Following a resolution to do or see something new every month, Zara has discovered a love of kayaking, surfing and anything and everything to do with history.

Kanika graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic in 2012 with a Master's degree in Chiropractic. Her desire to become a chiropractor stemmed from the notion of delivering a naturalistic way of healthcare, as she believes that people are now far more aware of the benefits that complimentary treatments can offer.

She is passionate about helping people that require Chiropractic care, which utilises natural and safe methods without the use of drugs and surgery. Kanika believes that the power of using a simple tool such as one's hands to relieve pain through Chiropractic treatment, is the very thing that drives her passion for natural medicine.

She has worked in various clinics in West London and Surrey and treats both children and adults. In her spare time, Kanika enjoys working out at the gym and spending time with her family and friends.
