About Us

Maurice Lowe

After suffering from back pain following a serious car accident in his late teen's,  Maurice tried many forms of physical therapy over the years to alleviate his pain but only found short term relief until he discovered McTimoney Chiropractic in his 40's which made such a huge impact on his life, he decided to re-train and become a McTimoney Chiropractor himself,  training at The Abingdon Chiropractic College and is now in his thirteenth year practising McTimoney chiropractic.

He supplements chiropractic manipulation, when appropriate, with other forms of physical therapy and soft tissue techniques such as Soft-Tissue-Release, Trigger Point Therapy and  Muscle-Energy-Technique for example. Maurice has been studying Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT) , another form of chiropractic treatment for the past 6 years and brings this to his practice as either a stand-alone form of chiropractic or as an adjunct to the McTimoney technique.  With his continual professional development he has recently studied the Emmett Technique, a very gentle form of muscle release which complements the McTimoney method of chiropractic.

While at chiropractic college he realised the effect foot posture has on the body and gained a First in his Research in this field.  In subsequent years he studied and learned  how to correct foot pronation with custom orthotics and now prescribes and makes custom orthotics when required, using the ICB system.

He has trained in the use of dry-needling at the British Medical Acupuncture Society but now concentrates on his own mix of McTimoney chiropractic and soft tissue techniques although continues his professional development, assessing alternative techniques, bringing them to his practice if appropriate.

Maurice encourages people to take an active participation in their health, advising on posture and rehabilitation when necessary and gives rehabilitation exercises when appropriate to improve outcomes.
