Dr Jacob Garrad - MChiro DC
Jacob graduated from the AECC university college in Bournemouth with his master’s degree, studying many subjects and all aspects of the body.
Jacob believes in treating each patient as an individual with their own specific goals in mind, there’s no one size fits all. Communication is going to be key throughout the entire process just to make sure that there is good understanding from both patient and practitioner, always making sure any patient is comfortable and has a great understanding of what to expect from their care, how they are progressing as time goes on and that goals are being met.
Jacob incorporates many different treatment methods and will choose the most appropriate for each individual case. Depending on the nature of the issue, different approaches can be used to help alleviate and resolve whatever is going on, often a combination of different techniques will be used for the maximum benefit of the patient, of course allowing some personal preferences too.
A few of examples of Jacob’s techniques and approaches are as follows:
Joint mobilisation, manipulation or adjustments (Diversified technique)
Soft tissue treatment (massage, trigger point therapy, fascial mobilisation)
Dry needling (acupuncture)
Posture and daily living advice
Nerve mobilisation
Blocking (Orthopaedic and SOT)
Corrective exercise instruction and coaching
Common conditions that Jacob can help treat and manage include:
Spinal, joint or muscular pains
Disc bulges
Nerve compression (like sciatica or carpal tunnel)
Tennis/golfers elbow
Headaches and migraines
Jaw or TMJ issues
Shin splints, plantar fasciitis
Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff, SLAP tears)
Pregnancy-related pain

Dr Ashraf Ali - MCHIRO DC
Due to his background in rugby and powerlifting, Ashraf enjoys working with a range of people of all ages, from athletes to those who wish to just get the most out of life. Chronic pain is of particular interest to Ashraf due to its complex and unpredictable nature. This provides him with the drive to understand his patient’s individual presentations, taking into consideration their daily lives and personal experiences.
Ashraf provides evidence based, patient centred care by developing personalised treatment plans that help guide his patients through their recovery. He understands that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to achieving personal health goals. Ashraf is passionate about empowering and educating his patients so that they have a better understanding of their bodies and how they may react to and overcome different situations.
To treat his patients Ashraf utilises a variety of techniques including joint manipulation/mobilisation therapy, soft tissue work (active/passive release, dry needling, passive stretch and sports massage) and rehabilitation exercises to help his patients reach their goals whether it is improving their performance in the gym/sports or just carrying out daily tasks with ease.
Ashraf aims to provide patients with a comfortable environment during their treatments and can even speak Urdu or Punjabi to those who need it.
Dr Ellie (Elisabeth) Richardson - MCHIRO DC
Ellie qualified as a Doctor of Chiropractic after previously working as a Pilates instructor in London for 7 years and undertaking a bachelor's degree in dance at Dartington School of Arts.
She initially spent the first two years of her professional life training and performing as a dancer between London and New York before undertaking Pilates and Personal Training qualifications. Following this, Ellie built up her Pilates and Personal training business in Canary Wharf, training a variety of different clients. As her business grew, Ellie experienced people attending her classes who were in acute pain, often unable to walk or move. She wanted to help those she could not help with Pilates and so this inspired her to train as a Chiropractor.
She has 7 years experience as a Pilates instructor and personal trainer in commercial and corporate wellbeing - working as a lead personal trainer at HSBC HQ in Canary Wharf for a number of years.
Within the clinic setting, Ellie utilises a range of techniques including manipulative therapy, soft tissue release techniques, kinesiotaping and sports massage to help minimise pain and improve performance. She enjoys treating anyone who can benefit from treatment - but she particularly enjoys treating dancers and performers
Tom Mansfield - Founder/Chiropractor (MChiro LRCC DC)
Tom was first exposed to chiropractic by accident, after he sustained a rib injury playing county rugby for his native Cambridgeshire: a short course of treatment from a friend's father, who happened to be a chiropractor, saw him soon back to health and returned to the pitch.
Given his strong family connections to South Wales and the Welsh Valleys, Tom chose to study at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic. Its proximity to the Brecon Beacons and stunning Gower Peninsula were – for this keen outdoor sportsman – a deal maker, and he graduated with a Masters degree in Chiropractic (MChiro).
Tom’s clinical approach is a diversified 'evidence based' technique integrating established principles in human health science: where appropriate he uses sacro-occipital technique (SOT), activator method and Derrifield technique to assist in fully understanding, diagnosing and treating your condition.
Ultimately his aim is to understand the root cause of symptoms so as to reduce or lessen the recurrence of any issues in future.
Setting up his own clinic has always been the goal. Tom wanted to be able to provide Chiropractic care in a relaxed and friendly manner, and Hoxton Square in Shoreditch presented as the perfect location for this approach. 4 years after opening and the clinic is going from strength to strength.
Tom is experienced dealing with most Orthopaedic conditions and is able to assist all age groups. My special interest is Sports Chiropractic (mainly Snow Sports, Rowing, and On/Off-Road Cycling). I have undertaken further training to work towards ICCPS and FICS accreditation.
