The clinic is attached to the house which was designed by the previous owner, Kenneth Newman, an architect. The extension to the front of the house, clad in cedar, was built in 1960, for his architect’s office. 

In July 2001, my parents, Elizabeth and Bryon Sanders bought the house with the intention of my dad creating his clinic from the extension. In September 2001, he did just that. My dad’s patient list increased very quickly and in 2005 he further extended the clinic to provide a reception and waiting area.

He was very committed to his patients’ wellbeing and his patient list grew to over 3000 in the 20 years of him providing chiropractic care and advice. He was very well liked and appreciated by his patients, many of whom visited him for regular maintenance and care for the whole 20 years. He also helped many patients with their health and fitness.

I was involved in the business over the years and helped him with I.T support, from designing Yellow Pages adverts to website design, and managing his social media accounts whilst I was studying Chiropractic at university.

Sadly, my dad was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease over Christmas and New Year 2018/19 and wasn’t able to continue working. I travelled up from Hampshire to look after his patients until the end of March 2019 but was unable to continue so the clinic was closed.
