Kay Pearce, BSc (Hons) MSc, DC, ICSSD. PgDip MSK Ultrasound. Chiropractor. Sonographer. Clinic Director.

Kay has wanted to be a Chiropractor since she was 14 years old! Even at this age she had the ambition to help improve the quality of lives instead of saving lives. She went on to graduate from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in 2001 with an honors degree in human science and a Masters of Chiropractic and worked in two busy Wiltshire practices until opening Maristow Chiropractic Clinic in 2003. The demand was such that expansion was required, and in 2010 the Clinic moved to the larger, current premises.

Kay has a special interest in treating sporting injuries and completed the International Chiropractic Sports Science Diploma (ICSSD) in Turin, Italy in 2006 to be a certified sports Chiropractor. In 2012 she was selected as a “Gamesmaker" for the Paralympic games as part of the medical services team. More locally, Kay was the team medic for Trowbridge Rugby Football Club from 2004-2017 where she was responsible for all pitch side first aid and both pre and post match treatments.

Kay has been a European Instructor for Graston Technique and in 2012 was a partner in the formation of Kinnective Ltd. Kay has instructed in and supplied instruments of IASTM techniques to many of the medical team at professional sports clubs such as the Royal Ballet, Cardiff FC and The Welsh RFU.

Kay was honoured as a Fellow of the Royal College of Chiropractors in 2015 in recognition of her continuous work and dedication to improving the profession with a clear focus on self-improvement aimed at providing the very best chiropractic care. She has acted as an expert witness in a professional conduct hearing by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). 

In 2016, Kay completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Ultrasound (PgDip), which is the Consortium for the Accreditation of Sonographic Education (CASE) accredited course, recognised by the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS). This allows the clinic to use diagnostic ultrasound to accurately diagnose many musculoskeletal injuries, give a more specific prognosis and provide a specific treatment plan.

Kay has continued to contribute to the care of athletes at major international sporting events, being selected to be part of the Medical Services team at the 2017 IAAF World Championships London and the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Kay is registered with the GCC (no.01280) is a member of the British Chiropractic Association and a Fellow of the Royal College of Chiropractors (Sports Faculty).

David came to chiropractic later in life. Having previously worked as a personal trainer and studio instructor in his twenties, he always had a strong interest in health, fitness, and helping people improve their wellbeing.

In 2018, after suffering a back injury, David visited a chiropractor for the first time and was amazed by the impact treatment had on his recovery. The experience reignited his passion for working with the body and helping others achieve better health. It was a true lightbulb moment and the beginning of his journey into chiropractic.

David went on to study at Health Sciences University, graduating with a Master of Chiropractic degree. His approach combines hands-on care, rehabilitation, and patient education, with a strong focus on helping people understand their condition and regain confidence in movement.

His aim is not only to help patients find relief from their symptoms, but also to meet them where they are in their health journey and provide them with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to build stronger, healthier, and more resilient bodies for the long term.

Outside of the clinic, David has a keen interest in health and wellbeing, enjoys spending time in nature, and can often be found exploring the beautiful West Country. He is also a keen foodie and has a fascination with ancient civilisations and their history.
