Book a session with Dean

Dean is a skilled Chiropractor with over a decade of experience, dedicated to providing exceptional chiropractic care. He earned his Chiropractic degree over 10 years ago after completing an intensive 4-year programme at the prestigious AECC University College in Bournemouth, renowned for its excellence in chiropractic education.

During his final clinical placement year, Dean honed his clinical expertise, preparing himself to graduate and serve in various musculoskeletal-based clinics across the UK.

After many years in private practice, Dean set up The Hanham Clinic in 2019 (formerly known as Skelian Chiropractic Clinic), after previously running an award winning clinic in Cheltenham where he was also the Clinic Co-Director.

Chiropractic care, to Dean, is a science-based discipline. His approach goes beyond symptom relief; he focuses on identifying and correcting the root cause of your discomfort. Dean understands that the point of pain isn't always where the problem originates. In addition to his chiropractic expertise, Dean is also qualified in dry needling (medical acupuncture). He brings his pitch-side first aid experience, having previously worked with Bradford-on-Avon Rugby club, where he had the privilege of working under the guidance of ex-England Rugby International- Lewis Moody, the club coach at the time.

Dean is committed to staying current with his knowledge in healthcare. At the beginning of 2023, after 18 months of study, he obtained his post-graduate certification in Medical Ultrasound through the University of the West of England (UWE), specialising in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound. His specialisation in diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions enhances his ability to provide comprehensive care as a practitioner.

Dean's passion for health and wellness extends beyond his clinic. He grew up playing Rugby in Bristol and now actively participates with Yate RFC on weekends. You may also spot him competing in triathlons, attending CrossFit sessions in Warmley, and enjoying quality time with his wife and two children or taking leisurely walks with their Cocker Spaniel.
