Empowering Wellbeing in Basingstoke

Connective Chiropractic opened in 2016

Connective Chiropractic was established on June 6th 2016 by multi-award winning Doctor of Chiropractic, James Harrison.

The history behind why Connective Chiropractic started

Starting small with big vision

Connective Chiropractic always had big intentions. As an already very active member of the Chiropractic professional community, James knew that Connective Chiropractic would be looked upon by both patients and the profession as a standard of Chiropractic care. Whilst the intention and goal to develop matured, practicalities meant the clinic started small.

The clinic started life as a small 2-day-a-week clinic as part of a leading health club in Basingstoke. (Beechdown Health Club). The clinic room was small, at the back of the building and was shared by other budding healthcare professionals across the week.

Within weeks of Connective Chiropractic launching, James’s father passed away. What followed was a philosophical explosion of motivation and a reconnection to his original vision on becoming a Chiropractor. Connective Chiropractic became less about offering Chiropractic care, but more about becoming a force towards getting the most out of life free from aches, pains and restrictions. Our handle ‘Empowering Wellbeing’ was born, as a concept that health and healing was an ever-growing process and something that we all have to do to get the most out of life.

The Arena Years: The Heal Room

Arena was the perfect place for the clinic to mature, with the site serving in the centre of the town’s business regeneration area. Initially Connective Chiropractic ran out of one small room at the site, later called ‘The Heal Room’.

Following the move, Connective Chiropractic became a limited company in 2017 and won the North Hampshire New Business of the Year INSPIRE award in 2017-2018. James too continued to win awards, including some of the more prestigious Chiropractic awards in the UK.

The clinic launched its Ultimate Wellbeing Community as it started to develop greater understanding of its core visions, intentions and values.

Basingstoke’s Best Kept Secret

Following the many challenges of the pandemic, it became clear that we needed to have our own purpose-built space to grow and manage our clinic. To some degree the clinic saw itself as ‘Basingstoke’s best kept secret’ as most of its customer base came from word of mouth referrals and most had to know about us via the website or referrals for being based behind the closed doors of serviced offices.

The clinic took additional space, later called ‘The Freedom room’. The intention was to have additional space to grow the capacity of the clinic but later turned into ‘move HQ’ as the clinic aimed to move from its Basing View base. Connective Chiropractic hired the first additional member of its Chiropractic team in this time.

Making history with our Empowering Wellbeing Community

We are continuing to make Connective Chiropractic history along side our likeminded patients, guests and team of likeminded individuals. We believe that life is for living; free from aches, pains or restrictions that hold you back and that together we are stronger to feel better, be better and stay better.

We couldn’t be here and do what we do without our community and are grateful for all the support and success stories over the years that enable us to turn up the contrast of life and allow us all to grow, do more and smash through whatever expectations or goals we have…
