Outside of the clinic, Naomi is a keen swimmer and enjoys spending time helping on her family’s livestock farm.

Dan Rampling
Clinic Director and Chiropractor
Dan graduated with a Master’s degree from Anglo-European College of Chiropractic. At the age of thirteen Dan had recurrent ankle injuries from various sports activities, however, after consultation and treatment from his local chiropractor the issue was soon resolved. From that moment he knew he wanted to become a chiropractor to enable him to help people recover from injuries and alleviate their pain.
Dan has a keen interest in sport and has worked with several different professional sports including premier league football teams, professional golfers and cyclists. He currently works as the Wales Women’s Football Chiropractor. He works with wide range of patients, not just athletes. He aims to uncover the root cause of the complaint as early as possible and then tailors the treatment to suit the individual’s needs. This process increases the likelihood of a successful and swift treatment as well as reducing the likelihood of a reoccurrence of the problem.
