Tony Dawson

Tony Dawson has over 18 years' experience as a chiropractor, having graduated from the McTimoney College of Chiropractic in 1998. Tony is a full member of the McTimoney Chiropractic Association and the Royal College of Chiropractors. Most importantly, he is registered with the General Chiropractic Council (registration number 01422). His route to chiropractic was unconventional, having previously enjoyed a successful 10-year career in IT and before that, having graduated with a BA (Hons) in French! However, in common with many chiropractors, Tony had himself suffered for years with a recurring back problem, finally benefiting from McTimoney chiropractic treatment in 1990. He is passionate about the chiropractic profession and regularly attends Continual Professional Development courses to increase his knowledge and understanding of the causes and treatment of muskulo-skeletal problems. He also enjoys arranging and hosting sessions at The Clinic. Tony Dawson has worked at this unique location since 2005, enjoying the rich environment of the Ouse Valley and the historic Borde Hill estate. The opportunity arose for him to open his own clinic here in November 2011, since when he has endeavoured to achieve his vision of creating an holistic health centre in this bright, light former dairy.
