Meet the Team
Dr Lucy Vickers
Doctor of Chiropractic
Graduating 23 years ago in 1999 from the gold standard of Chiropractic Colleges, AECC in Bournemouth, Lucy started out in rural Wiltshire and Bath. Here she crafted her skill on farmers who needed to be pain free fast to “return to work”; and due to the geographical location, many RAF and Army personnel who needed treatment they couldn’t access within the armed forces. She found PTI’s (Physical Training Instructors) were especially fascinated by the specific and complete range of treatments she could offer.
Having built a successful practice and with a Labrador in tow, she moved to London and set up her own Clinic in Marylebone treating not to mention a few celebrities in the process. At this time she also started out in Farnham where she has worked since 2002. Now fully recommitted to the countryside with a family, Farnham is home; she is often to be seen being pulled from pillar to post by her current Labrador Rosie (see below)
Lucy is more than just a "joint cracker". While she acknowledges the important part good joint manipulation plays in a patients recovery, she knows patients need more than that. Every patient gets massage, stretches, ergonomic and lifestyle advice pertinent to them. Not generic one size fits all, but specific to who they are and what they do on a daily basis. And never forget posture! Lucy is passionate that patients understand just how important posture is in everything they do, and will receive specific exercises and advice on how to correct it.
Dr Nicole Edwards
Doctor of Chiropractic
Graduating in 2014 from the University of Johannesburg with a Masters Degree in Chiropractic, Nicole did a stint in both South Africa and Australia before she moved to the UK. Having “fixed” the people of Berkshire she is a wonderful addition to the Team.
Nicole recently completed a 2 year Post Graduate Degree in Sports Chiropractic. This appealed as it brought techniques in Taping, Extremity Adjusting (loosening the joints of the arms and legs), and Functional Assessment (examining the body mechanically as a whole rather than focusing solely on the painful area). Nicole feels this gives rise to a more focused Rehabilitation Programme.
Nicole is passionate about helping her patients reach their goals through Chiropractic care and Rehabilitation. She enjoys keeping active outside clinical practice and loves to travel. She’s very excited about joining our multi-disciplinary team and looks forward to fixing your aches and pains.

Yvette Mann
Podiatrist
Yvette has had her business in the Milford/Farnham area since 1997 and delighted to be now working from the Bourne Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Clinic. Her areas of expertise include treating all foot care needs including nail care, nail surgery, callus and verrucae.
Yvette’s main interest is in biomechanics where assessments are needed to diagnose and treat conditions like hip, knee, ankle, forefoot and heel pain in all ages from young children through to maturation which may well involve the prescription of insoles/orthotics.
All treatments compliment chiropractic and massage therapy very well if deemed necessary.
As well as a very competent and experienced Podiatrist, Yvette is married and a mother of three boys. Her main way of relaxing is walking her sausage dog Morgan around the local Bourne Woods and spending as much time on the water sailing or paddle boarding.

Rosie
Rosie is Lucys dog, and while she has no official qualification, she has been known to have a therapeutic effect on her owner.
She loves eating, water, being beaten up by Charlie the cat, running away with children's shoes and destroying the house, not necessarily in that order.
