Joe Shepherd has been a Chiropractor since his graduation from the AECC in Bournemouth in 2022, gaining an MSc in Chiropractic. This was following the completion of his BSc in Sport and Exercise Rehabilitation in Newcastle upon Tyne.
His passion for helping people all stemmed from a footballing injury which he obtained in his late teens and he felt like he could emulate the care he had received at this time and turn it into a life long profession. Joe’s ambition lies in helping people who feel like they have nowhere left to turn, and loves to see the people he cares for reach their health goals.
In his spare time he practices what he preaches, goes walking frequently, reluctantly signs up to marathons and goes to the gym regularly.
