Your Chiropractor

Derek Mould holds the title of “Doctor of Chiropractic” following the completion of a Masters Degree in Chiropractic after six years of full time training at the Durban University of Technology in South Africa .

With a passion for active living, Derek was first exposed to Chiropractic after seeking treatment for an injury as a young sportsman. Intrigued by his remarkable recovery time, he has had a passion and dedication to the profession ever since. Dr Mould had this to say, “Since Chiropractic was founded, it has been a safe, effective and most importantly, natural treatment option for many. Chiropractic achieves its results with out the use of drugs of surgery and aims not only to alleviate pain but also to maximise on ones health potential.”

Whilst completing his research as part of his masters degree, Dr Mould became intrigued at the relationship between poor muscle functioning or co-ordination and joint injury. Following investigation of the scientific evidence, it soon became clear that current research suggests that manipulation or adjustments (as done by Chiropractors) of joints combined with strengthening exercises for the muscles which stabilize the joint, is commonly the most effective way of reducing joint pain and inflammation and also dramatically helps reduce recurrence. For this reason, the clinic has recently developed a rehabilitation suite in which a qualified exercise instructor will demonstrate your prescribed strengthening exercises on site.

The rehabilitation suite allows us to work hand in hand with a fully trained palates and exercise instructor who is able to demonstrate specific spinal strengthening exercise on site. The exercises are designed to be done by you at home, and are tailored to your ability. In other words the exercises can be very gentle for those just starting out or quite challenging for those of you who are more sporting.

Movement, exercise and healthy living are vital components of healthy spinal and other joints. The Clinic strives to educate and empower our clients to take care of their own health to ultimately improve their quality of life.
