Laura May Dean MChiro, MMCA, LRCC
Laura has long been aware of the benefits of chiropractic, not only because she is from a chiropractic family, but because she found it a huge aid in her own recovery after a significant injury. In particular she was drawn to McTimoney chiropractic because of it’s approach to the body as a whole, something that she holds as central to her own practice, as well as the gentleness of the technique which means it is suitable for all ages and stages. As a result Laura sometimes works with several generations from one family! She graduated in 2015 with a chiropractic masters degree, has trained in a number of soft tissue techniques and is registered with the General Chiropractic Council, Royal College of Chiropractors and is a member of the McTimoney Chiropractic Association. She also has a particular interest in working with those who are hypermobile, in elderly care and helping to improve athletic performance. Having welcomed a little boy in June of 2022 Laura enjoys spending her spare time with him, her family and friends.
