Meet the Back in Shape team

Elizabeth is our wonderful director here at Back in Shape Chiropractic! Elizabeth graduated from The Welsh Institute of Chiropractic at the University of South Wales where she received a distinction and the Academic Excellence award by getting the highest marks in her year as well as the Leadership Award for her contributions to the University and fellow students. Elizabeth has worked in Reading and Andover Chiropractic Centre before setting up Back in Shape Chiropractic.

Her passion for health and for helping people is what urged her to make the decision to become a chiropractor. Having had a double stress fracture and a vertebral slip in her spine through National level gymnastics, she is acutely aware of the difference that chiropractic can make to people's lives.

Although she is urged by her orthopaedic consultant to have spinal surgery, she is happy in the knowledge that chiropractic care is keeping her surgery free. Elizabeth practices a diversified Chiropractic technique as well as Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) and has also qualified in Acupuncture, Sports taping and pregnancy and paediatric Chiropractic. She is a member of the British Medical Acupuncture Society and is registered with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) and The British Chiropractic Association (BCA). Elizabeth has also completed post graduate qualifications with the Royal College of Chiropractors (RCC) to become a Licentiate member.

Liz is a registered PRT trainer of other chiropractors. Liz also works with the General Chiropractic Council (the UK regulator for Chiropractors) as a Test of Competence Assessor for Chiropractors wishing to work in the UK.

Megan graduated from the Anglo European College of Chiropractic with a First, following an additional degree in Human biosciences. She has been interested in chiropractic ever since experiencing the benefits for herself after getting injured playing hockey at Exeter University. 

Megan realised how much chiropractic treatment can influence and have an impact on someone’s life, whatever their age. These benefits are what attracted her to the profession and Megan happily uses a variety of techniques to get optimal results. She is diligent in her examination of the problem and will work hard to find the underlying cause. Megan has a keen eye for rehab and works hard to ensure she advises preventative advice to avoid relapses.

Megan was also a finalist for the British Chiropractic Associations Chiropractor of the Year award. She has recently achieved a post graduate qualification with the Royal College of Chiropractors and is now able to give dry needling as part of her treatments.

Megan is a keen sports woman and currently plays hockey for Bournemouth. Megan enjoys walking and cycling, especially around the Jurassic coast. 

Lee graduated from the Anglo European College of Chiropractic with a Master of Chiropractic and has had a diverse career; having worked in a vibrant mix of inner city, semi-rural and teaching clinics. He loves to educate patients about their complaints and instil confidence that he can restore them to optimum function and reduce their pain.

He has a special interest in afferentology - the study of muscles - and has been taught by a renowned chiropractor and afferentologist. 

Lee easily builds a rapport with his patients and utilises a completely tailored approach to each treatment; where his easy-going nature really shines. Lee is a certified swimming coach and keen runner; he is currently in training for the Winchester Half Marathon.

Because of his interest in sports, and recovery from a shoulder injury, Lee’s main goal is to help patients return to active, daily living and believes that home exercises are an integral part of a rehabilitation plan. Lee is registered with the General Chiropractic Council and the British Chiropractic Association.

Ali graduated from the Anglo European College of Chiropractic with a Master of Chiropractic. 

It was always in Ali's destiny to become a healthcare professional, due to her mum and sister both working in nursing.

She was attracted to chiropractic because she saw the huge benefits she could make to people's lives. Ali will streamline the diagnosis process and empower patients to not only feel well again but to fulfil their health goals by focusing on patient education. She hopes to motivate all her patients to return to normal daily living - whatever that entails for their individual needs. 

Ali is currently undergoing further post graduate training with the Royal College of Chiropractors and is broadening her skill set learning extra techniques such as Thompson Technique and SOT; she currently uses diversified technique. Ali is registered with the General Chiropractic Council and is a member of the British Chiropractic Association.

Cydney graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a first class BSc (Hons) in Sports Therapy. She has previous experience working in semi-professional rugby and football, as well as professional rugby. 

Cydney's passion for Sports Therapy began at a young age, upon experiencing multiple injuries herself and the beneficial impact that Sports Therapy can have. During a sports therapy treatment, Cydney will apply a combination of hands-on treatments, use rehabilitation, and 'prehabilitation' techniques, and give detailed injury assessments to determine the cause of your complaint and achieve optimal outcomes. Cydney aims to provide a positive influence on physical function, movement, fitness, and overall quality of life and health.

Cydney also enjoys participating and spectating in multiple sports including rugby, football, netball, and tennis and regularly partakes in cycling, hiking, and paddle boarding.
