Meet William, our skilled and passionate chiropractor at Skelian. Graduating from the prestigious Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, William’s journey into chiropractic care began very early in his life as he saw the vast benefits it had for his family and friends. Witnessing the transformative effects of chiropractic care on someone close to him, William developed a profound interest in the field and its ability to reduce pain and improve how the body works, leading to an enriched and healthier life.

William’s dedication to personal fitness extends beyond his professional life. He actively maintains his physical well-being by engaging in activities such as attending the gym, training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and skiing when the seasons permit!

His commitment to staying fit and healthy not only sets an inspiring example for his patients but also reinforces his understanding of the importance of an active lifestyle in achieving an overall better sense of well-being. As the science of health is a constantly evolving subject, William is always striving to be on the cutting edge of our understanding of how to get the best out of the human body.

William believes everyone could benefit from Chiropractic care. First and foremost, his approach is to offer a thorough examination to truly understand what his patients want to achieve out of their treatments and how to tailor their treatment to suit their individual needs. He combines a variety of hands-on techniques including soft tissue work, manipulation and home exercise advice to strengthen the body in any weaker areas. He also uses other forms of advice for day-to-day life, giving patients the environment they need to recover and improve their overall well-being.

“Chiropractic care has been an important part of my life for many years. Being a chiropractor allows me to follow my passion for helping people from all different backgrounds. Seeing the benefits of chiropractic time and time again is such a fantastic reminder of why it makes so much sense to look after your body to get the best of life and yourself.”
