Christine also has a first class honours degree in Animal Science, has undertaken research into mathematical equations to determine the likelihood of a dog being born with idiopathic epilepsy and has undertaken several human, canine and equine soft tissue technique courses (including massage, myofascial release and joint mobilisation). Christine is registered with the General Chiropractic Council and is a member of the McTimoney Chiropractic Association and the Royal College of Chiropractors. Christine first became interested in manipulation when her own joint problems could not be relieved by conventional means and she sought both osteopathic and chiropractic treatment. This experience made her realise how valuable and important manipulative therapy is and made her want to achieve a career in chiropractic.
