Meet our Chiropractic, Sports Massage and Acupuncture Team

Hello!

My name is Antonia and I graduated from the AECC Chiropractic University with a First Class Masters degree in Chiropractic, MChiro. I am the founder of BodyFit Chiropractic and am forever grateful to have been able to help so many fabulous patients!  

I have a special interest in treating acute back,  neck and Shoulder/ Rotator Cuff Pain and am continually humbled at how quickly chiropractic care can ease these painful injuries and improve the quality of life for my patients.

I believe that it is important to treat the functional cause of the injury instead of chasing the symptoms and so I often incorporate rehabilitative and preventative measures into my treatment plans to ensure long-term recovery.

I have been described as a 'Hybrid Chiropractor' because of the integrated treatment approach I take. 

I take the best bits of Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Sports Exercise and Massage Therapy, to give the best possible care for my patients. 

My treatments include: 

• Chiropractic Adjustments, for spinal mobility, nerve stimulation and muscle activation 
• Dry Needling/ Medical Acupuncture, for muscle, trigger point and soft tissue release, as well as Central Nervous System and Blood Flow Stimulation 
• Activator, for joint mobilisation and nerve stimulation 
• IASTM Blade, for fascia release and blood flow stimulation 
• Trigger Point Therapy, Active Release and PIR stretching for targeted soft tissue release 
• Kinesio Taping, for muscle proprioception and activation  
• Postural advice, form and lifting corrections for performance optimisation and injury prevention , exercises and stretches, to further improve at home  

Sports and fitness have always been important features in my life and I enjoy treating sports injuries to help people reach their full potential. 

I have a special interest in treating athletes and incorporate a mixture of  chiropractic care and sports rehabilitation exercises to ensure they reach optimum function and performance in their chosen sport. 

I have a special interest in Paediatric Chiropractic and treating women both during and after pregnancy. There is so much Chiropractors can do for babies and expecting mummies; please feel free to have a chat with me, to see if I can help.  

I love what I do and what I can do for my patients.

Chiropractic lets me use my knowledge and skills to directly impact a persons quality of life; I find it the most rewarding and exciting job and I hope to be able to help you! 

Hello!

My name is Becks and I’m delighted to offer you my skills as a Sports Massage Therapist at Bodyfit Chiropractic! 

I am a level 5 Sports Massage Therapist and employ a variety of soft tissue techniques, including IASTM Blade, PIR stretching, Active Release and Trigger Point Therapy.

Having gained my first massage qualification at 16, it’s fair to say, that I’ve been practising manual therapy for a while now!

I’ve always had a passion for health and fitness and have a special interest in the link between mental health and how it manifests physically throughout the body.

After experiencing my own health struggles, due to a Hyper Mobility Condition, where I developed chronic fatigue, joint pain, muscle soreness and brain fog, I realised just how significant our mental health is, not only in how we feel, but also in the physical symptoms we experience in our bodies.

I have a passion for treating athletes and sports people and know first-hand how frustrating it can be when we can’t perform to our best abilities, due to pain or injury.  

Through Sports Massage, I can directly improve a person’s quality of life, by: helping them reach their goals, flourish in their hobbies and giving them the chance to improve all aspects of their day-to-day life!  

In my spare time, I love sea swimming and paddle boarding and keep as active as I can!

If you haven’t already guessed, I love what I do and am constantly amazed by the human body and its abilities! It’s a privilege to be able to help people achieve their goals and be trusted to be a part of their journey.

It is an extremely rewarding profession and I love every minute of it!

I am thrilled to be a part of the Bodyfit team and I look forward to meeting you soon!  

Hello! 

I'm Yolandi, a qualified Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist with over 25 years of experience helping people feel relaxed, restored and at their best.

I trained at ISA Carstens in Stellenbosch, South Africa, one of the world’s leading health and skincare institutions, where I gained my internationally recognised CIDESCO diploma in Health, Skin and Massage Therapy.

After qualifying, I spent 10 years working as a massage therapist aboard luxury cruise liners and superyachts, treating clients from all over the world, before eventually settling in Dorset to raise my three boys.

At BodyFit, I offer a range of treatments including Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), Relaxing Massage, Pregnancy Massage and Reflexology. I’m also qualified in Indian Head Massage, which can be incorporated into a 90-minute Relaxing Massage for an even more deeply relaxing treatment.

I have a particular passion for MLD and love seeing the difference this gentle, specialised treatment can make. It works by supporting the body’s natural lymphatic system and can be beneficial for general wellbeing, reducing swelling and supporting recovery following certain surgical procedures.

Whatever treatment you choose, my aim is to create a calm, welcoming experience where you can switch off, relax and leave feeling refreshed.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll usually find me hiking in nature, spending time with my family or keeping active at the gym.
