Suzi qualified as a Chiropractor from the world-renowned Anglo-European College of Chiropractic University College, Bournemouth in 2001, before taking up her position at our previous home in The Stubbington Sports Injury Clinic the following year. Having competed
to a reasonable standard in a number of sports herself, it was of no surprise that her career would take her into the world of sports injuries. However, her hands on approach to injury management and rehabilitation are equally useful to injuries sustained in daily life and therefore are used to treat a whole host of non-sports related conditions as well here in the clinic. Suzi has enhanced her skills through continual education within the field of musculoskeletal injuries, enabling her to assist patients, young and old, to be as active as they wish and to achieve their own personal goals.
When she’s not in clinic working, Suzi is working in the field of sports – literally! She can be found most weekends running around the rugby pitches of the UK and sometimes beyond, providing immediate medical care to injured players from amateur to professional. She carries the RFU ICIS level 3 qualification – the highest in the country for this type of specialist work, and also helps to train new graduates in this subject area. She has worked on the pitches of Twickenham on numerous occasions as well as forming part of the medical team at the European Touch Rugby Championships and the Commonwealth Games. Suzi has also held the position of lead medic for Hampshire Rugby and Trojans Rugby club for over 15 years, having previously worked at a number of other prominent Hampshire Clubs. Suzi is also a trustee for her favourite charity ‘Rugby Against Cancer’, a cause close to her heart. Suzi is an Internationally certified sports Chiropractor therefore is licenced to work with anysport, amateur and professional anywhere in the world.

Luckily for us, Carly managed to move back to the area in 2023 and immediately joined the clinic once again, it was almost like she had never left. Whilst away, Carly gained further qualifications including The International Federation of Chiropractic in Sports, and most
importantly, had two little boys – Percy and Henry.
Carly has regained her qualifications in RFU ICIS level 2, meaning she can continue her 10 year career working as a pitch side medic, which she does for Hampshire rugby U18’s girls and the children’s tournaments during the season. She also manages the U7’s rugby
at Trojans Rugby Club, where her sons are already loving the sport running up and down fields getting muddy! Along with all this, Carly helps local charity, Rugby against Cancer when they need any first aid cover for any of their fundraising events they hold.
Outside of work and rugby, Carly is an avid cake maker, making spectacular cakes for special occasions including her own wedding! And she values family time she gets to spend with her boys.
