I am proud to be a Registered Chiropractor
Chiropractors in the UK are required to adhere to a strict Code of Practice set by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC), in exactly the same way as other health professions, such as dentists. To register with the GCC chiropractors in the UK must meet and maintain high standards of education and practice, to best look after their patients.

I am proud to be a BCA Member 
The British Chiropractic Association is my professional body, which has a long history of advancing the chiropractic profession in the UK. The BCA helps members to place patients at the centre of their decision making by providing specialised support, access to evidence-based resources and high-quality patient information.

Her passion for exercise and healthcare first led her into the medical field through dispensing medication, before deciding to pursue a more hands-on and therapeutic approach through Osteopathy.

Jasmine has completed first aid certification and has experience treating knee injuries, neck pain, and the elderly population with common musculoskeletal complaints such as osteoarthritis. She is also a qualified sports massage therapist and strongly believes massage therapy can play a key role in treatment by improving circulation, increasing flexibility, reducing pain, and helping to prevent injury.

Jasmine is available for Sports Massage on a Wednesday.  Appointments can be booked by phone on 020 8661 1613 or online.

Outside of work, Jasmine enjoys weight-training in the gym, which she finds beneficial for both her physical and mental wellbeing.
