I first discovered the power of Chiropractic when I was 11 years old, having injured my back whilst playing sport, my father took me to a Chiropractor. It is thanks to this Chiropractor, who was funny and inspirational that I became a Chiropractor, even if I didn’t realise it at the time! Having graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic in 2008, one of only two European accredited programs in the UK. I am now a Chiropractor and owner of Chiropractic Works, Ecclesall Road, Sheffield. Since graduating I have studied further national and international courses in extremity adjusting (adjustments specifically for the elbow, wrist, shoulder knee and hip) and paediatric techniques.
I have spoken reguarly on BBC Radio Sheffield, advising listeners who call in with their health questions. I have also been invited to give health talks to Hallam University employees, discussing such topics as back care at work, ergonomics and the importance of posture.
I enjoy seeing a wide range of conditions in patients spanning from the young to the elderly often within the same family. I am a good listener and am passionate to get the message of the many benefits of safe and natural Chiropractic care can give people by optimising the function of the nervous system, enabling the body to work better.
Having worked in chiropractic clinics located in Broomhill and Chapeltown for 11 years, Sophie has decided to bring her excellent range of Chiropractic skills to Chiropractic Works. Sophie has built up a wide range of experience in a number of areas of Chiropractic having done further training in the Chiropractic assessment and treatment of babies and toddlers, the pregnant pelvis, sports injuries and dry needling. This is alongside the wealth of knowledge in the treatment and management of the more common lower back and neck issues we see on a daily basis.
I love what I do! It’s great when I can help people get back to doing what they enjoy with less pain and discomfort. People usually say they wish they had started with Chiropractic years ago!
I first came into contact with chiropractic when visiting my cousin in my late teens. He was able to treat each patient with so much care and you could tell how much of an impact he had made on their lives. It was then that I decided that I wanted to do. What I love about chiropractic is being able to help everyday people be able to live their life to the fullest. From small things like being able to walk a little further than last week to being able to sleep pain free for the first time in years, I enjoy seeing functional improvement in patients.
I am big into my outdoorsy activities like climbing, hiking and wild swims, which all inform my approach to healthcare and my belief that activity and movement has a massive effect on the body’s health and function. My hope is to help patients continue to do what they love and live a happy life!
Chiropractic has always been an important part of life for me and my family. It has kept us feeling and functioning at our best through everything from sports injuries to pregnancy, as well as the general ups and downs of life.
After graduating with a Master of Chiropractic (MChiro) from the AECC School of Chiropractic at Health Sciences University, I feel so lucky to do a job that I love and am so passionate about. It is a real honour to help people to get better and stay well. My approach is holistic, considering the body as a whole. I use an evidence-based, hands-on approach alongside rehabilitation and lifestyle advice to help you reach your goals as efficiently as possible, and to support long-term health and function.
I have particular interests in paediatric and infant care, women’s health and functional neurology, having completed further studies in these areas.
Aside from work, I love spending time with friends and family, and am outdoors surrounded by nature as much as possible, whether it’s hiking, running, wild swimming or with my horse.
