Hello, I’m a Chiropractor and the Clinic Director at Lushington Chiropractic Clinic, Eastbourne’s most popular chiropractic and sports massage clinic.

Chiropractic and Headaches

I grew up locally in Sussex and first went to a chiropractor when I was a teenager with headaches and back pain. The chiropractor I saw was kind and patient, but I was most impressed by the results of the chiropractic treatment. It worked – and quickly too. After years of backaches I felt better and my headaches resolved almost immediately with the chiropractic adjustments.

I was inspired by the chiropractor’s medical knowledge and the common sense to treatment. It made sense to me that if your muscles and joints are not working as well as they should, then the best way to treat them would be to actually do something, rather than painkillers or trying to ignore it – which is what I had been doing.

So, I finished my A-Levels, completed a Degree in Biology, and then began my chiropractic studies. I took a four-year Chiropractic Degree and Masters in Chiropractic Sciences at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic.

As a chiropractic student I embraced hard work. I observed dozens of chiropractors and osteopaths in their clinics, including some excellent chiropractors here in Eastbourne. I also took, and organised additional chiropractic courses and travelled to chiropractic conferences in the US, Canada and Europe. I used every opportunity to attend seminars with thousands of chiropractors and students, keeping up with the latest chiropractic treatment techniques and to hear from some of the most experienced chiropractors across the world.

I was inspired by the scope, effectiveness, scientific approach and range of chiropractic techniques being developed across the world. That inspiration still drives me to deliver the best possible care and highest standards at our chiropractic clinic here in Eastbourne.

After graduating I worked as an associate chiropractor in two chiropractic clinics along the Sussex coast. I finally settled as a chiropractor in Eastbourne, near where I grew up. I had fond memories of Eastbourne from childhood and loved coming back.

Opening a Chiropractic Clinic in Eastbourne

In 2004 I opened a clinic which I called “Eastbourne Family Chiropractic” at the Apollo Centre (now called the Horder Centre, near Princes Park Health Centre). I’ve always had an interest in pregnancy and paediatric chiropractic care, because it had helped me so much when I was young.

In 2005 my wife and I moved into Lushington Road and we opened Lushington Chiropractic Clinic with my sister, here in Eastbourne’s town centre. I’ve enjoyed living and working in Eastbourne, it’s a wonderful place to live and work. I hope my children enjoy it as much as I did when I was their age.

The clinic has gone from strength to strength. We’re Eastbourne’s largest and most popular chiropractic clinic with a fantastic team of practitioners and a range of awards and accolades. What’s most rewarding though are the results and the kind words of the people who come here.

We’ve helped thousands of people with chiropractic treatment, sports massage and acupuncture. In fact, we’re so confident you’ll be satisfied and happy with the thoroughness of your assessment and the care you receive, that we offer a money back guarantee.

Eastbourne’s most Popular Chiropractic and Massage Clinic

I’m as passionate about chiropractic and helping people as ever. Our Eastbourne based clinic has attracted an excellent team of chiropractors who are passionate about helping people. As well as chiropractic treatment, we also provide massage therapy, acupuncture, counselling and more. We’re Eastbourne’s most popular chiropractic and sports massage clinic, and carried out over 20,000 treatments last year alone.

Chiropractic treatment is booming in popularity. My experience as a chiropractor here in Eastbourne is that people want to take control of their health, and to do something about their aches and pains, rather than just numbing them with painkillers.

We work hard at our clinic, constantly striving to improve our results and the care we offer people. The most rewarding aspect has been the clinic’s reputation, the kind words and recommendations we’ve received from our patients.

All our chiropractors and clinic assistants strive to create the best possible welcome, and highest standards of care for everyone who wants to try chiropractic treatment in Eastbourne.

If you’re looking for a chiropractor in Eastbourne, or you’ve got any questions, then contact us either to book a consultation or for a free complimentary chat.

I would like to say a big thank you to the thousands of local people who regularly recommend Lushington Chiropractic to their friends and family across Eastbourne and Sussex.

Emma Johnson – Eastbourne Chiropractor

My First Introduction to Chiropractic

I grew up in Hampshire and first discovered chiropractic at a young age when my dad suffered from low back pain.  Even as a child, it was clear to me that chiropractic care hugely improved his quality of life, and this really is where my chiropractic journey started. 

As I got older and studied Biology at school and college, I found myself fascinated by how the human body functions.  This interest was sparked further when a chiropractor visited my local equestrian centre (where I was working at the time) to treat both horse-riders and the horses.  I asked if I could shadow her for the day and this really opened my eyes to the broad range of treatment options a chiropractor can offer.  A few months later I suffered from shoulder pain and visited the chiropractor that treated my dad.  It was at this time that I realised the importance of musculoskeletal health.  Ultimately, this inspired me to pursue a career in chiropractic as I wanted to help others in the same way I had been helped. 

Studying at AECC University College  (formerly known as the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic)

I finished my A-Levels and moved to Bournemouth to study a Masters in Chiropractic.  Throughout my first couple of years at AECC University College, we covered a vast variety of subjects in order to develop the skills to diagnose, treat and prevent disorders of the musculoskeletal system using a wide range of treatment and rehabilitation techniques.  I loved the practical, hands-on approach to learning that we were exposed to from our first day, and it was great to be surrounded by people with the same interests as me.  

My time in Bournemouth flew by and I spent my final year practising as a chiropractic intern onsite at the AECC University College Chiropractic Clinic.  I thoroughly enjoyed using all of the skills I had learnt at university to diagnose and manage patients with a range of conditions.  I was fortunate to see a wide range of patients from newborns through to the elderly and really enjoyed helping every one of them.  I was also involved in various projects including working with patients with musculoskeletal complaints at a local GP surgery.  Another project involved working with midwifery students to help mothers overcome breastfeeding issues with newborn babies.  It was at this time that I realised I enjoy treating a whole range of patients, from newborn babies right the way through to elderly patients, and everybody in between. 

Lushington Chiropractic Clinic in Eastbourne

I visited lots of clinics before settling in Eastbourne, but Lushington Chiropractic Clinic stood out for me.  I knew that the clinic had a great reputation, both in the chiropractic world and locally in Eastbourne, and I was excited to see everything it had to offer.  From my very first visit to Eastbourne I was warmly welcomed and was thoroughly impressed with the high standards of personalised chiropractic care provided to every patient.  I felt that every patient was listened to and valued, and for me this is very important.  The chiropractors, massage therapists and chiropractic assistants work as part of a great team and I am now very grateful to be a part of this.  I look forward to continuously providing high quality, personalised chiropractic care to patients of all ages in Eastbourne. 

Why I love being a Chiropractor

As a chiropractor I am a real ‘people’ person and really enjoy seeing a huge variety of people from Eastbourne and surrounding areas every day.  No two days are the same and it is very fulfilling to see patients feeling better.  I understand that everybody has a different goal and I love to help people reach their goals.  Whether you want to run your next half-marathon or tend to your tomato plants in the garden, I am happy to help you achieve this. 

If you have any questions or would like to see a chiropractor in Eastbourne, please contact us and I’d be happy to help you.

What I Love About Chiropractic 

My passion is to help you thrive again. 

As a chiropractor in Eastbourne, I am able to help people from all walks of life and I enjoy the fact that each day brings a new challenge. 

It brings me joy when I see patients transition away from pain towards achieving their individual goals. 

Is Chiropractic Right for You? 

Do you want to feel as though you are being listened to and valued?

Do you want to receive personalised treatment which focuses on the root cause of your issue? 

Do you want to be actively involved in your treatment? 

Lushington Chiropractic embodies these principles and can be a fantastic option for you to explore. 

Why I Chose Chiropractic 

My first taste of chiropractic came aged fourteen. Throughout my youth I competed at a national level in tennis. During this time, I sustained injuries to my back and shoulder.

Fortunately, I discovered chiropractic. My chiropractor took the time to truly listen to my situation and was able to formulate a tailored, chiropractic treatment plan which got me back to doing what I loved, pain free. 

Chiropractic left a great impression on me, and it became my ambition to pursue a career in this field. 

Studying at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (WIOC) 

Throughout my educational journey, I delved deep into the science and art of chiropractic. I enjoyed the practical element of the course and thrived in my final year where I established my own patient base within the universities’ clinic. 

WIOC provided me with a solid foundation and a profound understanding of chiropractic, shaping me into a skilled healthcare professional dedicated to promoting health and well-being through chiropractic. 

Why Lushington Chiropractic?

After four years of studying in the Welsh valleys, I knew that I wanted to return to the south coast of England. Lushington chiropractic felt like the perfect fit for me. 

I love the sense of community within the clinic and in Eastbourne.

It is evident that Lushington chiropractic is a place where patients experience high quality, personalised chiropractic care.

The warm, welcoming atmosphere in the clinic is something I love being a part of.  

Being a Chiropractor in Eastbourne. 

Being a chiropractor in Eastbourne is highly rewarding. 

What makes being a chiropractor in Eastbourne special is its sense of community. The opportunity to provide chiropractic care in Eastbourne allows me to establish fantastic relationships with patients and witness their progress first hand. 

Eastbourne’s blend of a health-conscious community and seaside charm makes being a chiropractor here thoroughly enjoyable. 

Some More Information About Me

While away from clinic, I have a diverse range of hobbies which keep me active and connected with the outdoors. 

Racket sports have always been my main passion. Growing up, tennis was a huge part of my story. I had success at regional and national levels and represented my county on multiple occasions. More recently, I was part of the badminton first team at university.  

Camping and hiking are my go-to choices for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I have climbed many of the UK’s highest peaks and am always on the lookout for new trails and vistas. 

Recently, I have immersed myself in golf, this is proving to be challenging and I am always appreciative of any tips.

Why Chiropractic?

I have seen first-hand at Eastbourne chiropractors the positive impact that chiropractic treatment can have on those suffering pain. Having someone that will not only listen to you but also do their best to make you feel valued, as well as providing personalised care plans to allow you to thrive, is important.

What Chiropractic means to me

My first experience of chiropractic was when I started out in my career as a sports massage therapist here at Eastbourne chiropractors Lushington Chiropractic, where I naturally spent a little time learning about chiropractic techniques. As the years sped by, I found myself constantly using and applying chiropractic influences in my own treatments. I came to realise that I wanted to be able to offer more help to my clients, so I made the decision to go back to university and study for a Master’s Degree in Chiropractic, in order to join the profession that I had become so inspired by.

Studying at AECC

Known as one of the best institutions in the UK for teaching and developing chiropractic, it was an honour to count myself as one of the alumni of the AECC University College. Chiropractic, along with most health disciplines, embraces change and promotes the ethos that to improve and develop is the best way to help people.

Why Eastbourne?

I have always enjoyed living in Eastbourne. Growing up here I felt safe and it allowed me to explore the sea, which I love. I was for many years a competitive swimmer, and the Eastbourne Swimming Club played a big part in my early life.

I also like to run on the beautiful South Downs and feel the freedom that the views have to offer. I also like the feeling I get on returning to Eastbourne, having lived away at university; I think it’s that feeling of being back somewhere you know well and belong.

Returning to Lushington Chiropractic in Eastbourne

So if you didn’t know, I used to work here at Lushington chiropractic as a sports massage therapist. Qualifying at Cardiff Metropolitan University with a Sport Conditioning Rehabilitation and Sports Massage (first class) degree, the work was hard and demanding but the joy of helping people in pain was always a driving force for me.

Lushington Chiropractic is a great place to work, the team here are fantastic and I have met some of the most influential people I know in these very halls. I’ve seen how the practitioners have shared and developed their skills, and that is why there was no hesitation from me to explore my future in chiropractic here at Lushington, one of the main Eastbourne chiropractors.

More about me

As mentioned above, I do have a sporting background in competitive swimming. Growing up I used to represent Eastbourne Swimming Club, where I worked and trained hard (7 days a week) to compete at County, Regional and National (ESSA) competitions, before work-life eventually had too take precedence.

I also spent several years as a swimming teacher and as a sports massage therapist, before moving into chiropractic. Finally, my best way of escape and to find some thinking time, is achieved by taking my family’s dogs out for walks on the beaches around Eastbourne and Pevensey Bay, as well as over the South Downs.

I knew that I still wanted to help people, but I decided not to go down the care work route, so started to think of something else.

While shopping in Eastbourne I over-heard 2 ladies talking about the Graduation Ball at their Massage School – the ‘Jing Advanced Massage Training School’.

John Dyer – Sports Massage Therapist Eastbourne

Hi I’m John and i’m proud to be part of the team of Sport Massage Therapists here at Lushington chiropractic clinic in Eastbourne.

When i’m not a work I enjoy volunteering for the RNLI and raising funds for all the amazing work they do.

Bethany Lenihan – Sports Therapist Eastbourne

MSci Sports Therapist and Accredited SST member.

Hi, my name is Beth and I am a Sports Therapist here at Lushington Chiropractic in Eastbourne. Apart from temporarily moving away to University, I have lived in Eastbourne my whole life and I have loved it so much!

Background:

Sport has always been a passion of mine throughout my whole childhood and after seeing first hand how injuries can affect so many people, my interest in sports therapy rapidly developed.

I studied at the University of Chichester where I initially started a Bachelor’s degree in sports therapy, but quickly upgraded this to an integrated Masters degree where I had the amazing opportunity to work within professional women’s football for a whole season.

Throughout my career so far, I have worked in many different environments with a wide variety of people with different injuries and problems. I work here at Lushington Chiropractic in Eastbourne on Fridays, while also working with multiple rugby teams throughout the week. All of these jobs allow me to pursue my passion of helping people feel healthier and happier.

Sports Therapy and Massage:

My sports therapy services can help a whole variety of people with different situations. A few key factors that I can help with are, reducing pain and soreness while also preventing further injury and discomfort. This can be done by rehabilitating and treating the affected area effectively through exercise prescription and different soft tissue techniques including massage.

Sports therapy and massage work together well to treat, prevent and manage injuries while still improving physical and mental performance.

If you can reduce the tension in muscles around a joint while also strengthening the area, the joint will be under less tension and pressure during daily activities. This can then reduce pain and discomfort, allowing you to feel happier and more comfortable.

What To Expect:

When you come and see me at Lushington Chiropractc clinic, there are a few things you can expect.

At the start of the appointment, I will ask you some questions about your main problem to help me gain a clear picture of your situation. Every appointment is individually planned based on you and your symptoms so the more information I have, the better!

Next will be the physical examination, where I can carry out a few different tests to see how the body is feeling and to help finalise the diagnostic process. These tests will vary depending on your problem and will help me piece together bits of information to be able to treat you effectively.

The main section of the appointment will consist of treatment where I can use massage, stretching and many different soft tissue techniques to help improve your current problem. I will check up on you throughout the session but don’t hesitate to ask questions or chat to me throughout the session and if you are unhappy or have any worries, please let me know!

At the end of treatment, we will chat about the diagnosis of your problem and go over a summary of the session so we both have a clear picture of what treatment was carried out and why! From here, we will discuss your appropriate treatment plan and I will prescribe any exercises and stretches that I feel will further help you improve your current problem!

Ewan Taylor – Sports Massage Therapist, Eastbourne

Associate Sports Soft Tissue Therapist
Level 4 Sports Massage Diploma | Accredited FHT Member | BSc in Sport and Exercise Science

I’m Ewan, one of the Sports Massage Therapists here at Lushington Chiropractic in Eastbourne. I’ve lived in Eastbourne my whole life, and I’m proud to call it home.

Background:
As a young boy I never really had an interest in sports, but one day that all changed and my love for sports began which eventually lead me to study Sport and Exercise at college, then university, right here in Eastbourne.

It was during my studies that I discovered sports massage, and that’s where my journey began. I went on to complete both my Level 3 and Level 4 Sports Massage qualifications. And combined with my Sport and Exercise Science degree, this has given me a strong foundation and a deep understanding of how the body moves and recovers.

I now work at Lushington Chiropractic three days a week, having a part-time role elsewhere.
In my spare time, I’m always researching new and exciting treatment methods to bring into the clinic, approaches that I know you’ll love!

Sports Massage:

Not Just for Athletes!

Many people hear the term sports massage and think, “That’s not for me, I’m not an athlete.” But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Sports massage is for everyone and it’s my mission to help people understand its wide-ranging benefits.

Sports massage helps relieve tension, pain, and discomfort in the muscles, promoting smoother movement and reducing stress on the body. Chronic muscle tightness can lead to musculoskeletal issues, reduced flexibility, and even disrupted sleep — which is why effective treatment is so important.

What to Expect from Your Appointment:

When you book a session with me at Lushington Chiropractic, here’s what you can expect:

Firstly, a thorough Consultation & Assessment We’ll begin with a chat about the issue you’re experiencing. The more information you can share, the better. I’ll be listening carefully to understand your concerns and put myself in your shoes.

Next, I may ask you to perform a few baseline movement tests. These help me identify restricted areas and understand the root cause of your discomfort, so I can tailor your treatment to you. Every person is different, and here at Lushington Chiropractic we believe everyone deserves personalised care.

Then comes treatment, now for the fun part! During your treatment, I may use a combination of techniques including deep tissue massage, stretching, scraping, and other soft tissue methods. I’ll check in with you throughout to make sure the pressure feels right and you’re comfortable.

If you ever have a question, whether it’s about your treatment or just something you’re curious about, feel free to ask! I want you to feel relaxed and fully informed throughout your session.

Finally, aftercare & treatment planning, at the end of the session, we’ll discuss the next steps. I’ll outline a personalised treatment plan including how many sessions you may need and

Working at Lushington Chiropractic:

Being part of the team at Lushington Chiropractic in Eastbourne is fantastic. I work alongside experts in chiropractic care, sports therapy, and massage, all of us united by a shared goal: helping you feel your best.

Everyone here is friendly, professional, and committed to supporting your health journey. Whether you’re dealing with aches and pains or just want to move and feel better, we are here to help. Let’s get you moving better and feeling stronger!

Sabrina Appleyard – Clinic Manager

Hi, I’m Sabrina and I’m the Clinic Manager here at Lushington chiropractic clinic in Eastbourne. I joined the team in 2018.

My husband and I have five lovely children between us, plus five gorgeous grandchildren. We have a Labrador cross border terrier named Spod and two tortoises named Turbo and Crush. So, as you can imagine we have a very hectic household.

Moving to Eastbourne:

I moved to Eastbourne back in 2005 and will never look back, I love it here! Eastbourne is such a lovely place to bring children up. It took a bit of getting used to the quieter pace of life, but it’s home to us now and we wouldn’t want to live anywhere else! Where else do you have the sea and countryside both on your doorstep?

We enjoy getting out on the sea on our Kayaks and spend many happy afternoons making the most of the wonderful weather her on the sunshine coast in Eastbourne.

I enjoy reading crime novels and think myself a bit of a detective which is probably why I enjoy escape games so much. I also love a musical, if you have any recommendations, please do let me know.

Starting at Lushington chiropractic:

After working in Dental practices for over 25 years I decided I would like a career change. After meeting with James and the team here at Lushington Chiropractic I knew I was going to love it here. From the moment I started everyone gave me such a warm welcome and I got to know many of the chiropractic guests straight away.

It wasn’t until I told friends and family that I was starting work at a chiropractor clinic in Eastbourne that I found out how popular it is. Many of my friends in Eastbourne have visited Lushington Chiropractic themselves and raved about James and his team.

I had heard about Chiropractic treatment but thought it was just for bad backs, how wrong I was. Since starting here I’ve been lucky enough to observe the Chiropractors and massage therapists in action and now I have a greater understanding of what it all involves and how the two treatments together compliment each other so well.

Chiropractic isn’t just about helping bad backs it can help with so much more. Of course, bad backs are one of the many problems they can help with, by taking the time to find the root of the problem and designing a personalised plan combining both Chiropractic and Massage therapy to help alleviate the symptoms and get you “back” on track (excuse the pun).

Having my first treatment:

Listening to the Guests reviews and the Chiropractors advice I felt as though I had been missing out for all these years and looked forward to having my first visit so I could find out first hand what it was all about and see what improvements I could make.

I’d like to say I wasn’t nervous, but I was, and I really shouldn’t have been. The whole experience was both professional and informative and James put me at ease from the moment I walked through the door.

I had suffered with an achy and occasional painful right shoulder for many years due to my previous job, James explained what the problem is, what he can do for me and how to help myself with stretches, exercises and better posture. I’m happy to say that I can recommend chiropractic treatment through first-hand experience and am happy to answer any questions if you too are a little nervous.

If I haven’t yet met you, please do say “Hi” and introduce yourself to me, I look forward to meeting you all!

Jenny Moser – Clinic Assistant

Hello!  My name is Jenny and I am a clinic assistant at Lushington Chiropractic with my employment commencing in March 2024.

Moving to Eastbourne:

We moved to Eastbourne in November 2020, relocating from West Yorkshire where we had lived for 16 years.  My husband and I are both originally from the south of England and I wanted to move nearer to my elderly parents so that I could be on hand to look after them if needed.  We live in Pevensey and it is a lovely place to live, we couldn’t wish for better neighbours, and to be so close to the sea is wonderful.

Starting at Lushington:

I was having some time-off from the work environment when I was contacted by Hannah (also one of the Clinic Assistants at Lushington) with whom I had worked with previously at Window to the Womb in Eastbourne.  She told me that the clinic she worked at was recruiting and wondered if I would be interested in applying for the position of Clinic Assistant.  I was immediately interested, and the rest is history!

The job is varied and very, very busy!  From filing, answering phones, making appointments and even washing we don’t stop!  It is lovely meeting our new guests and seeing our regular clients with whom we very quickly build up a relationship.

I didn’t have much knowledge of chiropractic before I joined Lushington, but I am gradually learning about the benefits of chiropractic treatment alongside massage therapy on all areas of the body and not just for bad backs!

A bit about my background:

I have worked in the healthcare industry in various forms throughout my career, including a Senior Secretary in Care of the Elderly at Harrogate Hospital, a Team Secretary for the Adult Mental Health Team as well as a Receptionist at BUPA/Gatwick Park Hospital.  I’ve also worked as a GP Receptionist in a semi-rural practise in West Yorkshire and, very early in my career I was a long-haul Flight Attendant for a major UK airline which gave me a great base to hone my customer service and diplomacy skills!

Karin Holmes – Clinic Assistant

Hi, I am Karin one of the clinic assistant’s at Lushington Chiropractic, Eastbourne.

I have been married since the year 2000, we have 4 children between us and 3 beautiful grandchildren who are looking forward to spending time with us through the summer by the seaside.

My Husband and I moved to Eastbourne in September 2024 and are still finding our feet, but enjoying doing a lot of exploring in Eastbourne and the surrounding areas.

Retirement:

Not only did I move to Eastbourne in September but I also retired, well that didn’t last long did it?

I had been working in hospitality, opening and managing hotels for 25 years when I finally retired in September. But after a few months i found i was missing being busy, I don’t think retirement is ready for me yet!

A new Chapter:

So here I am at Lushington Chiropractic enjoying my new role as one of the clinic assistants. I am really enjoying learning the job which is so different to what I did before, it’s really varied and there’s a lot to get used to.

I didn’t know much about Chiropractic before joining the team, apart from some brief treatment years ago for a sore back. I can honestly say that I am learning so much working here. I have been lucky enought to observe some of the Chiropractors in action and have learned about the techniques used, what exercises can help support healing, and other therapies that compliement Chiropractic care.

I had lots of questions for the Chiropractor and guests when I was observing and they have been fantastic at answering my questions and so complimenatry about the clinic.

There really is so much the Chiropractors do to get to the root of the problem and devise personalised care plans for each guest.

I have enjoyed having a consultation and treatments with Dr Lizzie one of our Chiropractors, who made me feel at ease immediately. I have suffered with a stiff neck for a long time, she was able to do a technique that helped relieve some of the stiffness and pain straight away.

I don’t know if I would have visited a Chiropractor for a stiff neck before working here as I associated Chiropractors with back pain and never really knew that they actually treat the whole body. But as they say, you learn something new everyday!

I was talking to my neighbour about my return to work and my new role at Lushington Chiropractic. As soon as i mentioned the clinic she recited the names of the Chiropractors, so its seems Lushington Chiropractic is both well known and respected within Eastbourne. I am looking forward to a long and rewarding career at Eastbournes number one Chiropractic Clinic!

Fleur Read-Riseley – Clinic Assistant

Hi, I’m Fleur and I am one of the Clinic Assistant’s here at Lushington Chiropractic in Eastbourne. I joined the team in July 2025 on a part – time basis.

Coming back to Eastbourne:

I graduated from the University of East Anglia with a law degree in July 2025. After finishing my studies, I chose to move back to Eastbourne to be with my family. I have always loved the town and I am excited to build my career here.

The seaside charm and natural beauty of Eastbourne makes it a special place to live and work. I enjoy relaxing by the beach during the Summer, and going on long walks on the South Downs.

About me:

Some of my favorite pastimes include swimming, reading nonfiction books, and spending time in nature.

My background involves volunteering for Norfolk Community Law Service, Norfolk Citizens Advice, and Street Law. I was also a Sales Assistant at Argos for three years, and have worked as a Paralegal in a law firm.

Starting at Lushington:

From the moment I joined the Lushington Chiropractic team, I felt warmly welcomed by both the staff and the guests. It has been a fantastic environment to work in, and I have learnt so much about chiropractic care and massage therapy.

I was fascinated to discover that chiropractic treatment isn’t just for back pain, but that it can also help with headaches, muscle tension, joint issues, and conditions like arthritis.

I am really enjoying being part of a practice that is so dedicated to the well-being of its guests, and I look forward to continuing to support the clinic and the community.

Donna Carson – Clinic Assistant

Hello! I’m Donna, and I’m one of the Clinic Assistant’s here at Lushington Chiropractic Clinic in Eastbourne.

Living in Eastbourne and my well-being Journey:

I was born in Leicester but moved to Eastbourne when I was young, and I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up and later raised my now 31-year-old son, by the sea and the South Downs. We both love being outdoors and enjoy paddleboarding when we get the chance.

My journey into health and well-being began in childhood. I was a keen gymnast and eventually earned my British Gymnastics coaching badge. That passion for movement stayed with me, later evolving into a love for Pilates, yoga, nutrition, and holistic wellness. These interests have been a guiding thread throughout my life.

My Chiropractic Care:

Before joining the team at Lushington Chiropractic, my professional background was primarily in hairdressing, which I began in 2009. I loved the creative and personal side of that work, but it did take a physical toll on my body particularly my back, shoulders, hips, hands, and feet.

Chiropractic care has been an essential part of managing my symptoms providing not just relief but ongoing support through regular maintenance. I truly believe in the power of chiropractic as a complementary therapy and am grateful to be part of Lushington Chiropractic clinic that takes such a personalised, caring approach.

Joining Lushington:

From the moment I joined the clinic, I felt right at home. The team here is not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly warm and welcoming. It’s clear to me why so many guests speak so highly of their experience here. I learn so much every day and genuinely enjoy connecting with our regular visitors.

If we haven’t met yet, please do say hello—I look forward to welcoming you to the clinic and being part of your wellness journey.
