James’s Story

Dr James Harrison is principal Chiropractor and owner at Connective Chiropractic.

After he was diagnosed with Viral Encephalitis, James changed his career path from lawyer to Chiropractor after seeing the benefits of Chiropractic treatment as part of his care. He states that his experience became much more than just a method of treating pain, but a way of gradually fitting back the pieces of the puzzle after not having been as healthy as he could have been.

When he is not serving people as Principal Chiropractor at Connective Chiropractic, James is an expert witness for the Chiropractic profession and teaches Masters of Chiropractic students and final year interns at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic (BPP University, now owned by the College of Health Ltd and accredited by the University of Ulster). He also currently sits on the council of RAMP (The Register of Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioners)

Pam’s Story

Pam is passionate about offering tailored, holistic massage to help people with their health and healing. Despite over 5 years successful experience in the beauty industry prior to joining the Connective Chiropractic team, Pam wanted to expand her knowledge and increasingly specialise in remedial forms of massage.

Born in Brazil and fluent in both Portuguese and English, Pam has recently found a love for finding new and alternative ways of keeping fit and healthy. This has included regular (Ashtanga / Vinyasa) yoga practice, trying weightlifting for the first time in lockdown and cooking different types of food to help with #EmpoweringWellbeing and to keep things exciting.

Koren’s Story

Koren is passionate about changing lives through Chiropractic care. Whilst working as our Chiropractic Clinical Assistant, Koren is studying to become a Chiropractor at the Mctimoney College of Chiropractic.

Previously she ran her own equine freelance business providing care and exercise for horses after receiving a BSc in Equine Science. She hopes to continue her care for both horses and humans by studying to become an Animal Chiropractor after completing her human Chiropractic masters degree.

In her spare time, Koren likes to visit Wales and go to the beach. Following the retirement of her own horse, she has found a new interest for going to the gym and hopes to start running.

Ben’s Story

Ben joined as Concierge at Connective Chiropractic after a decade in retail and management, covering everything from shopping centre kiosks to nationwide department stores.

He began his own health and wellbeing journey undergoing physiotherapy for a knee injury and has since discovered numerous ways to both rehabilitate and improve his wider wellbeing. He now enjoys combining his own experiences with his customer service background to both help people and continually monitor and improve the service we provide at Connective Chiropractic.

Ben regularly attends yoga and pilates classes alongside weight training, and outside the gym is a keen cook and baker. He is currently learning to crochet, and while the finer points of grammar may now escape him, if you wish to practise your French, il se debrouille.
