Hailsham Chiropractic Clinic

My interest in chiropractic started in 1991 when as a sports scholar I had to visit Richard Rummary (original owner of Hailsham CC), with severe low back pain and was amazed at how after only a few treatments my mobility and pain improved hugely.

Having gone on a hockey scholarship to the USA to study Anthropology and African studies for 4 years, and spending lots of time in the training room, I knew I wanted to work with the body. So I decided to continue my studies back in the UK studying for a Master’s of Science in Chiropractic at the University of Surrey. Graduating in 2003.

After working for Ian Hutchinson a Chiropractor in Chelmsford for 3 years, I decided to set up on my own nearer family and friends in Sussex. Uckfield Chiropractic Clinic was set up and opened in July 2006. The clinic in Uckfield has flourished and we now have a multi disciplinary team including two chiropractors.

In 2012 I expanded my business and purchased Hailsham Chiropractic Clinic, which is also multi disciplinary, with three Chiropractors.

As a chiropractor I thoroughly enjoy treating generations of families. Having a strong background in high level sports, this is always of interest me helping people to perform to their optimum. Also being a parent has given me the impetus to undertake additional courses on chiropractic treatment during pregnancy. At the clinics we use a wide variety of chiropractic techniques depending on the patients needs - this includes Becky being an advanced level Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique practitioner.

I still enjoy playing and watching sport when I have the time, most of it now taken up by my two young sons who love having treatments and have their own toy activators to perform treatments on familly.

Becky will be treating patients in our Hailsham Clinic on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and our Uckfield Clinic on a Thursday.

After finishing school I completed a foundation course in art and design and subsequently a degree in jewellery design at Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London). Alongside studying I worked part-time at The Orpheus Centre, an arts centre for young disabled adults, as a care/support worker.

On graduating for the following few years I worked part-time in the arts sector as a designer/maker and teaching on widening participation projects for the university, and part-time in the care sector as a care worker at a Residential Nursing home and domiciliary visits in the community. Through care work I became aware of podiatry, I felt it would really suit me and decided on a change of direction. I completed an access to medical sciences diploma at Sussex Downs college, Lewes and then a podiatry degree at the University of Brighton.

Following this I spent 3 yrs. working as a general, then specialist NHS podiatrist. During this time I gained invaluable experience and enjoyed developing my skills in all aspects of podiatry, treating a varied and complex caseload. I then transitioned into private podiatry as it offered greater flexibility and a better work life balance. I enjoy the practical, problem-solving aspect of podiatry and meeting a large variety of people. I’m happy when I’m able to keep people pain free and enjoying the activities they want to do.

Outside of work I enjoy swimming, gardening, walking my little dachshund x poodle - ivy and riding my new forest pony - Belle.

I work on a Monday and Thursday in Uckfield and Friday and Saturday in Hailsham.

Lisa first studied Sports Therapy at a local college and then went on to complete her Sports Massage training with The London School of Sports Massage. Lisa began her Reflexology training more recently with the Natural Therapy Studio, so she was able to offer her clients another treatment option.

With the massage work that Lisa does she is able to help with both releasing the tension held in the muscles from a hectic work life or rehabilitate after an accident/injury gained during sports. Lisa finds that this treatment compliments the chiropractic work.

With reflexology Lisa is able to relax the body using a few deep breathing techniques before and after each session and help the bodies natural rhythm through working on the reflex points in the feet. This is a less intrusive form of therapy as Lisa is able to work on the whole body through the feet.
