Meet the Chiropractic Health Centres Team
Fay Waiting – Doctor of Chiropractic
BSc (Hons), MSc, DC
Growing up on a working family farm, I have always been aware of the need to take an active role in my health and wellbeing. I had never really heard of a Chiropractor until during my A level studies when I undertook some reception work at a Chiropractic clinic. The combination of both learning about Chiropractic, and seeing the obvious benefits to patient’s health was the turning point in my life. I realised that Chiropractic was the perfect career choice I had been looking for. I enrolled and studied at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, where I graduated with distinction and was awarded the European Chiropractors’ Union prize for being the ‘Graduate of the year’. Since finishing University, I have undertaken further training focusing on Chiropractic care for pregnant women, babies and children. This is an area which holds a particular interest for myself, and I practice a variety of treatment techniques including cranial work and the Webster-Breech Protocol.
I have also completed further specific training in dry needling, treating temporomandiublar joint disorders (TMJ) and extremity complaints (shoulders, knees, elbows, wrists etc.). Read more about Fay »
Adrian – Osteopath
I’m from Hong Kong and after studying in the UK for a few years, I went to Swansea University and I graduated with a Master of Osteopathy.
As an osteopath, I have always been curious about chiropractic and I wanted to expand my knowledge beyond osteopathy. I decided to join the team here because I’ve found functional chiropractic very fascinating, and it also produces great results with patients. Learning about functional chiropractic has opened my mind to the relationship between the upper neck and brain function, which has a big impact on healing.
I love practicing osteopathy because finding the cause of pain is like being a detective, and it keeps my mind constantly ticking over. There’re many techniques in my toolbox and they include manipulation, mobilization, stretching, and soft tissue techniques. These are all very gentle.
I’m motivated by helping people feeling better physically and mentally, and getting them back to doing things that they love. Many conditions fall within the scope of osteopathic treatment, including back/joint pain, headache, pregnancy-related pain, arthritic/rheumatic pain, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries.
Cornelius Musonda – Sports/Orthotics Therapist
I was born in Zambia, central Africa and this is where I first began playing squash. My love of the sport increased and I began to play professionally. I have been lucky enough to represent Zambia in many major competitions including the commonwealth games. Unfortunately I suddenly found myself injured and not knowing quite what to do. I’d always had a very keen interest in sports injuries and rehabilitation and it was while researching my own injury that I stumbled upon the idea of studying as a sports therapist. Little did I know that from my own shoulder injury the career that was to shape my life was starting to grow. In 2006 I became a fully qualified sports therapist.
I specialise in deep tissue sports massage, sports injuries and rehabilitation, neck and back pain, muscular and joint injuries, posture correction and orthotics. Having been injured myself I believe it gives me a wide understanding of the stresses and strains that chronic and acute pain can put on not only the body but also our mental health. I believe that chiropractic treatments and deep tissue manipulation work in harmony with each other and are now proven to have enormous benefits. We must listen to our bodies and service and maintain them as we do our cars without a second thought. Resorting to pain killing medication time after time is simply a quick fix to mask the pain but by doing so we ignore the underlying reason or cause. I now have regular treatments once a week to help maintain a healthy mind/body balance. There is no need to wait until an injury happens. Simply having a deep tissue massage once a week helps release the build up of toxins in our body, revives us and gives our immune system a great boost.
Darcie Butler – Massage Therapist
Hi i’m Darcie. I use massage as a way to help people and I think a lot of people could benefit and improve their quality of life through regular massage and treatments. I love to live a healthy and happy life and am happiest when I’m exploring somewhere new with good people and positive energy!
I believe massage and a healthy lifestyle work perfectly together and people will always see better results with the two, it’s about what you can make from it as well as what we can provide you with. Every body is unique, I’m just here to keep yours in sync!
Oneida Bramble – BSc (Hon) Sport Rehabilitation
Prior graduating in 2021 from the University of Bolton I always had an interest in sports. I have dedicated time to my community and volunteered in major and local events in Manchester such as Great Run, Colour Run, Cancer Research Winter Run, Sainsbury’s School Games and many more.
As a registered Sport Rehabilitator, it is my duty to aid people with musculoskeletal pain and injury but also taking in consideration the psychological elements.
At the Chiropractic Health Centres, I provide sport massage to aid with the work of Chiropractors and Osteopaths whilst educating patients on how to recover from and prevent injury, reduce pain using exercise or therapeutic techniques such as massage, frictions, strapping and taping.
I look forward to meeting you all!
