Introducing Fulham Chiropractor Robert van Schalkwyk, M.tech.Chiro, DC, CCEP, ICCSD, CCFC
I was first introduced to chiropractic through my Dad. It had helped him with his chronic headaches and fatigue; however, it was only when I sustained a disc injury through martial arts, did I experience the true effect of Chiropractic.”
“Only after I observed my chiropractor for a number of weeks and after seeing amazing changes, not only in my own life, but other peoples too, did I decide that I wanted to become a chiropractor.”
I completed my Masters Degree in Chiropractic Technology in 1998 at the Department of Chiropractic, Technikon Natal, South Africa. I left with sound training in the science, art and philosophy of Chiropractic. I published my master’s thesis in the J.M.P.T. My course covered all aspects of human sciences, biochemistry, microbiology, x-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic, physiotherapeutic intervention, rehabilitation, massage and wellness care.
Further qualifications of ICCSD (International Certified Chiropractic Sports Diploma), CCFC (Certified Chiropractic Foot Care Programme), CCEP (Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner) and Postgraduate Paediatrics Programme. I qualified to take and read x-rays. Other qualifications include sports and remedial massage therapist and a personal trainer. I have 12 years experience as a clinician including knowledge and experience in owning and running a clinic. I have managed large commercial gyms too.
In my everyday practise, I like to combine the chiropractic approach and physiotherapy intervention, with a strong emphasis on postural improvement, rehabilitation (exercises, stretches, core stability, functinal stability), wellness care and home education. My philosophy is to help my patients to help themselves. I belive in the holistic approach, considering all aspects of the neuromusculoskeletal systems. I also consider lifestyle choice, nutrition and thought processing as they too have an effect on our health. Eat better, move better and think better to good health.
I have practised successfully at Chelsea and Fulham Chiropractic Centre for over 12 years. I own the Centre however i do have an expense partner Simon Finemore. I have extensive experience in treating a whole plethora of neuromusculoskeletal conditions from the new born to the more mature, from the sporty to the arty. I have special interests in family care, wellness, sports injuries and paediatic care.
My hobbies include golf, gym, martial arts outdoor life and my family. I am a member of the British Chiropractic Association where I obtained my D.C (Diploma of Chiropractic), College of Chiropractors and European Chiropractic Union.
I am registered with the General Chiropractic Council (No 00680)
