Sean Phelps D.C.
A nurse and a chiropractors story.
We are here to help you and your family, working from a residential studio in Highbury, Cosham. My name is Lauren Phelps and I am suporting my husband in clinic when I am not working as a nurse in Royal Bournemouth Hospital.
We have created a bright, peaceful and healing space for you to maximize your health potential.
Sean remembers highbury when he stayed here as a child every school holiday. He remembers the 1977 street party celebrations in Highbury and his family have lived In Highbury since 1970.
He graduated with a masters degree in chiropractic from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic , Bournemouth in 2011.
Sean Says, "My favourite childhood film is Stars Wars.
Star Wars (directed by George Lucas) was credited to mythologist Joseph Campbell who suggests that each and every single one of us, is on a "hero's journey", each with the potential to be a Mother Teresa or Joan of Arc or even a Luke Skywalker or Nelson Mandela.
Navigating my own hero's journey has taken me to work in some interesting places around Europe, including Netherlands/ Holland, Glasgow/ Scotland, Harley Street London, & Sandbanks Yacht Company, Poole, U.K.
I was introduced to chiropractic when I experienced a very painfull period during my younger years and my interest in extreme sports and peddle to the metal lifestyle in the 1990s. I had an intertest in bodywork there afterwards. "
We are blessed if we can Lift weight or even heavy weights but Injuries are part of parcel life. Even just sitting can mess our bodies up! I needed to find someone to help with my messed up body from my BMX cycling, skateboarding etc.. so, I have not just done a masters degree in pain academically, Proper movement of your spine is a must for one to be strong. The spinal cord sends vital messages to your muscles and can enhance strength or weakness.
My specialized interests include maintaining wellbeing with evidence based medicine. I prefer nutrition in the form of natural food and study developments in functional integrative medicine.
I love the recent neuro-science and the brain psychology discoveries and how we can address faulty movement and strength deficits.
