Chiropractors
Stuart Cooper
MSc (Chiro) DC Doctor of Chiropractic
Ever since Stuart was young he had been interested in health and fitness. After graduating from high school, Stuart initially pursued a professional football career with Portsmouth Football Club. It was around this time that Stuart first discovered chiropractic. A career threatening injury resulted in Stuart turning to Chiropractic when all other medical interventions had previously failed and his injury was completely cured. After this life changing experience, Stuart’s chiropractor was always the first person he went to see for any health condition whether it be colds, headaches, allergies or back pain.
Stuart later decided that this was the route he wanted to take in his career and consequently took on a five year masters degree in chiropractic at the Anglo- European College of Chiropractic (AECC). It was here at the college where he began to understand the importance of a healthy functioning nervous system and how you cannot reach optimal health unless you’re nervous system is free of any interference.
Stuart has personally attended over 200 extra hours of intense training all over the world through the Gonstead seminar of chiropractic, in Places such as USA, Denmark, Paris and Manchester. Whilst in his final year at college, Stuart was also fortunate enough to get the opportunity to travel with another student (chosen from 150 other students) to go on a chiropractic missionary trip to Costa Rica. The two students were the first two students chosen from Europe to attend this trip. During the 3 week trip Stuart and his team were responsible for adjusting/treating hundreds of patients from varying areas of Costa Rica, some of which included the poorest places in the world. Each week involved travelling to a different Barrio (area) to help as many people as possible.
Stuart is also in the process of taking the Gonstead Extremity Certification (GCEC), and becoming only the 3rd chiropractor in the UK to obtain such a distinctive qualification.
Shauna Dunbar
MSc (Chiro) DC Doctor of Chiropractic BSc (Hons Human Nutrition)
Shauna first experienced the benefits of chiropractic when she was adjusted regularly as a teen to ensure that her spine developed in a healthy manner. Her interest in chiropractic care continued to grow when her older sister experienced a debilitating pain in her hands that made it almost impossible to move them. After seeking medical advice and not finding a solution, her sister turned to chiropractic care. Within a few months, she had regained the total use of her hands. It was then that Shauna decided to train to be a chiropractor herself.
After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition in Canada, her home country, Shauna moved to England to study at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic. Her passion for chiropractic medicine led her to travel, along with Dr Stuart Cooper, to Costa Rica in October 2006 where she offered care to people of all ages and nationalities. This experience had a great impact on her life, and made her more determined to educate as many people as possible on the power of the chiropractic adjustment.
She is eager to help her patients, of all ages, not only get rid of their pain but also to encourage them on their pursuit to overall health and wellness.
