Chiropractic Treatments
What is Chiropractic?
Benefits of chiropractic care
Chiropractic care is a diverse and dynamic health profession that puts the patient’s needs first. We use a range of treatment and rehabilitation techniques to help patients with a variety of conditions and goals.
At MOVE Clinic & Studio, our treatment plans can be broken into 3 main phases and depending on why you come to us, we will start in a different phase to accommodate:
- Pain relief: this is where many of our patients start. We begin by working to get you moving again. This might be relieving a minor niggle that has been bothering you for a long time or treating a severe flare up of pain. This needs to be achieved before moving onto the next phase of care.
- Functional Correction: this is where we progress to when patients start to feel better. Our program changes, becoming less about treating specific painful areas and zooms out, focussing more on how you MOVE and how this might be contributing to your symptoms.
- Maintenance Care: This about being 1% better every day is the final stage of care and the place we hope all of our patients get to! We work with you on an on-going basis to try and keep you operating at your best. From performing at the world championship, being pain-free at the office, or playing with the grandkids we work with you towards your long term goals.

Meet your chiropractors
Having always been active as a youth, Charlie first received chiropractic care to help with the aches and pains associated with bodybuilding training and working as a personal trainer.
After moving to the UK, Charlie spent 5 years training to be a chiropractor at the prestigious Anglo-European Chiropractic College (now AECCUC). He also completed post-graduate training following his chiropractic program with the Royal College of Chiropractic and AECCUC.
When he isn’t working with patients or teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Charlie enjoys spending time with his family. Further, he enjoys keeping active with running, the gym, mountain walking, and DIY.
After growing up as an active child with a keen interest in a multitude of sports, Kieran discovered Chiropractic care for injury recovery after studying biology and physical education in sixth form. This interest led him to spend 5 years studying the profession at the highly regarded Welsh Institute of Chiropractic at the University of South Wales.
During his time at university, Kieran was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes which was an experience that transformed his outlook on life and reinforced the critical value of prioritising health. This also gave him first-hand experience with how Chiropractic can provide a broad selection of healthcare options tailored to support people on an individual basis.
When he isn’t working with patients, Kieran has a strong passion for running and training. He spends a lot of time watching many different sports including football, mixed martial arts and athletics. In addition to this, he enjoys his new hobby of taking Jiu Jitsu classes here at MOVE.
