Background:
Sara graduated from RMIT Australia in 1999 and has worked in Victoria and South Australia before moving to the UK in 2001. Since then she has also worked throughout England and Scotland before finally settling in London. She has owned and operated a successful chiropractic, health and sports injury clinic in Putney since 2002 and has recently set up ChiroPeople (specialising in chiropractic and MRI services) in Waterloo in 2008.

Even before beginning Chiropractic, Sara had a special interest in sporting injuries and completed further training and education in this area in the form of an International Chiropractic Sports Science Diploma (I.C.S.S.D.) in 2006. She is currently an Executive member of the British Chiropractic Sports Council.

With a 20 year history of dance including jazz, Latin, ballroom and recently salsa, as well as 7 years as a fitness and aerobics instructor, she is passionate about helping people reach their fitness and sporting goals. She has worked with the Leeds Football Club (2001), London Rowing Club (since 2002), the Merton Football Club (2006 - 2007) and various professional and amateur athletes in a spectrum of sports, especially runners, as well as assisting the Southampton Sailing Club train and prepare for the fastest race of 2003.

The techniques Sara uses predominantly in her treatments include: Gonstead, applied kinesiology (muscle testing), massage, Kinesio-taping, and supportive taping using zinc-oxide.

Having experienced health problems in 1991 with stomach ulcers and intestinal upsets that could not be cured by medical treatment (and having sustained head and back injuries through sport), she understands exactly what others with discomfort experience. She believes in the importance of chiropractic care, combined with a healthy diet, exercise and mental attitude to achieving and maintaining optimal health, as this is what helped her regain her strength and wellbeing.

Sara has a passion for fun and adventure and loves dancing, jogging, scuba diving, water and snow skiing, to name but a few. She has competed in dancing, swimming and triathlon competitions and has just enrolled for her first half marathon in October 2008.
