Our Team
Laura Rigby DC
Clinic Director
Laura studied at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic, finishing her degree in December 2007.
In 2004, Laura moved from her home town of Wigan, Lancashire to Wokingham and has remained in Berkshire ever since. Laura now resides in Maidenhead. Feeling more at home in Berkshire, Laura decided to remain in the area after graduating and set up her business ‘Chiropractic 2U’ in 2009. Laura grew the mobile chiropractic service and in 2010 moved into a business premises in Winnersh and then to Wokingham in 2011. In Wokingham, Laura moved from the hectic town centre to a small unit on a farm which was supposed to be temporary whilst acquiring a larger unit, that fell through and patients then revealed that they were happy not to have to return to the town centre! We are still on the little farm unit today!
In September 2014 Laura took advanced chiropractic qualifications in Sacro occipital technique and on the same day, completed on the clinic in Maidenhead… everything always happens at once! Laura worked between Wokingham and Maidenhead and keeps trying to stop practising in order to work on the business. We have built Maidenhead up, and are delighted with what we can offer now, more hours with 2 further Chiropractors, a sports therapist and a fabulous massage therapist, a Practise Manger and superstar CA ready to welcome you with your favourite drink when you arrive. Our intention is to have a fabulous practise for our guests who love the relaxed vibe and the quietness of being able to read a magazine and enjoy a cuppa whilst you wait for your appointment.
Laura also sits on the SOTO Europe board delivering chiropractic education to Chiropractors all over Europe. Laura is a PRT trainer for the Royal College of Chiropractors and a table instructor for SOTO Europe. Laura also delivers in house training for the team at Maidenhead Chiropractic Clinic.
