Plymouth Chiropractic Clinic

Introducing Chiropractor Ian Doble

Ian joined SCMA in the summer of 2011 as a second degree black belt. Ian is also a Chiropractor working from Plymouth Chiropractic Clinic and wishes to enlighten you about Chiropractic and how it can be more than just a helping hand for back pain…

My interest in Chiropractic began after experiencing Chiropractic first hand following a sporting injury that left me with constant back pain. As a young man, I thought nothing of it and waited for the pain to ease; only it didn’t.  Months later and a coincidental meeting with a Chiropractor, I was persuaded to give it a try. After a short period of care I was not only back to my old self, but feeling better than before. It was then when speaking to the Chiropractor that I began to understand why I was performing better whilst under Chiropractic care.

I was so amazed by the whole experience, I quit my job and went back to college and after 5 years of training, I graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth.

Most people have heard of Chiropractic; ask the average person on the street and the most likely answer you will hear is that Chiropractors ‘fix bad backs’. Whilst Chiropractors have built a reputation for improving back pain, at the core of Chiropractic is the pursuit of 100% function and optimal health.

Imagine a car with a flat tyre, most of us wouldn’t dream of driving around for too many miles with a flat tyre because we know the likely consequences. Not only is it likely to ruin the wheel but it’s also likely to have a knock on effect to the suspension and other structures of the car. Sooner or later the car will come to a grinding halt and will require a lot of work to get it roadworthy again. The human body isn’t all that dissimilar! Imagine all of the knocks and bumps your body has taken over the years, poor posture, lack of exercise, too much sitting, perhaps a favoured kicking leg at Taekwon-Do or kickboxing, leading to an imbalance. The human body has an amazing ability to adapt to the stressors we put it under, but unless we deal with these, our performance potential decreases and we cannot function at our optimum and that’s when symptoms begin to appear.

This is where Chiropractic comes in. Chiropractic is a form of health care that supports the body’s inborn ability to heal itself by restoring function and balance to the spine and nervous system without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractic is suitable for everyone of all ages, from newborn babies to pensioners alike with an array of complaints. We are never too young or old to begin your journey towards optimal health.

Charity Trek

One of our kickboxing students, Robbie Taylor is taking part in a Charity trek to Everest Base Camp and is looking to raise as much sponsorship as possible.

Here’s Robbie’s reasons and details regarding this event.

Within my personal and working life I have recently seen two people (one as young as 5) lose there battle with different illnesses. I have therefore decided to take on a challenge and raise some well deserved money for Cornwall Hospice.

Cornwall Hospice Care provides Specialist Palliative Care – the term used for the alleviation of pain and management of symptoms – for people in the county who have life limiting illnesses and gives support to their loved ones.  The charity provides 24 in-patient beds, day treatments and therapies at its two hospices in St Austell & Hayle. It costs nearly £6 million annually to run these services – over £11 a minute and around 85pence in every £ must be met through raised voluntary income.

The Challenge I have decided to join is one that will push me to my limits and one which I hope will raise a significant amount of money.  My Challenge is a trek of approx 112km (70miles) to reach the base camp of Mount Everest, now as you can appreciate is not a simple walk in the park, the trek is one which that finishes at a height of 5,557m above sea level (this classes as extreme altitude) which is 4013m higher than Ben Nevis (Highest Mountain in Great Britain), or in simple terms its like climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower 8 ½ times,. No lift!!!!

Anyway I have agreed to raise a minimum of £4000, however I have set myself a goal of £10,000, so this is were you all come into my plans.  If you feel that what I am attempting and the cause for which I’m doing this warrants a personal donation then please make that donation.  I have registered with virgin money giving where you can make your donation at:

I would like to take this opportunity and thank you for any support you are able to give.

If anyone has any questions then please feel free to contact me via SCMA.

I’m also looking for a kit sponsor which would require a donation of £1500, but this does bring with it some advantages all the clothing will carry the log of the Sponsor, and I will be having a light banner made for photos at the base camp, and on route.  I will also be arranging local newspaper coverage and advertisement.  If anyone knows of any company that maybe interested in this opportunity then please feel free to pass my details on.

Many Thanks

Robbie Taylor
