McTimoney Chiropractic

A gentle, precise whole body approach to chiropractic care.

Quick, gentle and accurate adjustments which ensure you experience minimum discomfort and maximum benefit.

  • Achieve and maintain good health
  • Reduce the use of prescription medication
  • Take charge of your own health and medical problems

Chiropractic therapy involves adjusting the bones of the body to maintain the correct alignment of the spine and to ensure that the body’s nerve supply works efficiently. If part of the spine column becomes misaligned a nerve may become pinched which may lead to pain or restricted mobility.

The McTimoney Chiropractic method is well known for being a precise, whole body approach to chiropractic care using quick, gentle and accurate adjustments ensuring you experience maximum comfort.

McTimoney chiropractors strive for optimal health by treating the entire person and not just the area that pains you.

The gentle nature of the McTimoney method makes it suitable for people of all ages. It’s proven to be effective in treating the following conditions:

  • Back, neck and shoulder pain
  • Pain, discomfort and stiffness in joints
  • Migraine and some headaches
  • Sport Injuries
  • Arthritic pain

Your Chiropractor will take your full case history regarding general health as well as the details of the symptoms. Some simple tests may be done. The therapist will make appropriate adjustments to your joints when necessary. McTimoney Chiropractors use light, low force adjustments.

You will also be given advice on good posture, the best way to sit and to carry shopping, etc.

Usually the treatment can be done through light, loose clothing.

Meet the team

Practitioner: Annwen Jones
Treatments: Herbal Medicine

I have been a qualified medical herbalist since the beginning of 2012. I graduated from The University of East London with a BSc (Hons) first class degree in Herbal Medicine and received the Arthur Barker Award from the National Institute of Medical Herbalists for the best graduate.

Initially, I worked in London as part of the 'Herbal Barge' project, which took herbal medicine across the city via the waterways, giving health advice, learning more about medicine making and harvesting herbs. I then moved to Bristol and started working with Becs Griffiths at the Rhizome Community Herbal Clinic. Together we teach evening classes, weekend courses and one-day workshops in herbal medicine all over the city and have built a busy herbal medicine practice.

Practitioner: Anwar Ratha
Treatments: Aromatherapy, Holistic Massage, Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Sports Massage, Thai Massage

In 2005, I qualified with a diploma in Aromatherapy.  In 2010 I graduated with a BSc Hons in Complementary Health and joined Wellspring as a massage practitioner.

I work with many health issues and I always try my best to help every individual. What I love about my job is seeing a client walk into my room with pain, sad facial expressions and worry but leave the room smiling, with more energy and improved movement.

I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists.  Membership requires therapists to demonstrate regular CPD training and skills updates.

Practitioner: Becs Griffiths
Treatments: Herbal Medicine

I am a fully qualified medical herbalist, graduating with a BSc (Hons) First Class degree in Herbal Medicine in 2009, with two awards from the National Institute of Medical Herbalists for top clinical examination in the UK.

In my first year of practice, I worked in a free clinic in New Orleans supporting chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome. I feel passionately that herbal medicine should be available as a health option for people whether they choose to use solely herbal medicine or to use it alongside conventional medicine. I set up Rhizome Herb Clinic 5 years ago as a sliding scale clinic, attempting to make herbal medicine more affordable.

Massage is one of my passions in life. I first studied Reflexology in 2000, since then I have gone on to study Aromatherapy, Swedish, Indian Head and Thai massage and have attended many advanced massage weekend courses.

In 2012 I began a Clinical Sports and Remedial Massage BTEC Level 5 Diploma. The course has allowed me to refine my skills making me more effective and efficient.

I am a highly committed and professional massage practitioner and I draw on the skills I have to create a unique treatment for each client according to their needs and expectations.

Practitioner: Trevor Jefferies
Treatments: McTimoney Chiropractic, Diversified Chiropractic

I qualified as a chiropractor from McTimoney College of Chiropractic. Since graduating I have undergone extensive training in the Diversified Chiropractic technique. Understanding both these techniques gives me the opportunity to choose which adjustment is appropriate to the patient and when to apply them.

Alongside these techniques I am also qualified in soft tissue work and personal training. My expertise and experience in these areas gives me a unique and complete Chiropractic approach. The added value of these additional skills means I have the ability to relieve muscle tone as well as provide individual exercise rehabilitation and rehabilitation programmes.

My aim is not for clients to be dependent on chiropractic care to live with pain but to be able to self-manage and limit the experience of discomfort in everyday life through the understanding of their condition and actively participating in programmes provided.
