[MEET THE TEAM]

**Dr Lydia Scott Mearns**

**Doctor of Chiropractic, MChiro**

Lydia grew up in Yorkshire and graduated from the AECC University College with a Master’s in Chiropractic in 2020. Since then has she practiced in Essex and has embarked on some adventures around the world.
Lydia is passionate about treating people from all walks of life and ages, professions ranging from office workers to athletes, each with different goals and capabilities. She has special interests in treating sports-related injuries and works hard to ensure that whoever she treats is not only able to function pain-free but to the maximum of their potential. She is experienced in providing specialised treatment to people with disabilities which confirms her belief that chiropractic can aid everyone in feeling and moving better.
In her spare time, she likes to weight train in the gym, hike, and run. When not at work in London you’ll find Lydia heading for the hills.
Lydia is trained in spinal and extremity manipulation, soft tissue massage techniques, dry needling, kinesiotaping, and exercise rehabilitation which she uses in combination to ensure patients improve.
“I believe chiropractic integrated with a healthy lifestyle can help people live their healthiest and happiest lives…. Looking forward to seeing you in the clinic.”

**DR Ole Brink**

**Doctor of Chiropractic, MChiro**
"Hoi, hoe gaat het?”
Dr Ole Brink is originally from The Netherlands and has degrees in both Physiotherapy and Chiropractic from the AECC University College and ZUYD University of Applied Sciences.
Ole has a passion for sports and treating athletes having worked as a physiotherapist treating some of the best athletes in the world at the Dutch National Opera and Ballet and with the American Running Association. He has also worked in hospital settings helping people recover from strokes, total knee replacements, and many other conditions.
He is an avid rock climber runner and yogi. I have personally rehabbed from various sports injuries such as joint dislocations, muscle tears, and torn ligaments. These injuries ignited his love of healthcare and rehabilitation. Having seen himself that injuries do not define you and you can come out of an injury stronger than you were. This has largely impacted his treatment style believing that a combination of hands-on care, rehabilitation, and understanding your condition and your body results in effective and long-lasting recovery.

**Dr Ethan Brownlee**

**Doctor of Chiropractic, MChiro**
Dr Ethan Brownlee is originally from Northern Ireland and has been practicing in London since graduating from the AECC University College in 2020 with a First Class Master's degree in Chiropractic.
Ethan is an avid athlete and has competed in sports ranging from rugby, rowing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and powerlifting throughout his life. His interest in chiropractic began after receiving care whilst competing at the World Powerlifting Championships as part of Team GB. It was chiropractic's hands-on, drug-free approach to care that attracted him, and he knew there and then that this was the profession for him.
He is experienced in treating patients of all ages and occupations, ranging from paediatrics to national-level athletes. His passion lies in showing every patient that they can live a pain-free, stronger, and fitter life no matter their age or injury history.

**taylor Nunn**

**Doctor of Chiropractic, MChiro**
Hey! I’m Taylor, a Doctor of Chiropractic here at Backspace. I graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic down in Bournemouth, Dorset.
My keen interest in fitness, human anatomy, and strong desire to help people led me to the wonders of the chiropractic profession. I believe chiropractic can help all individuals function at their full potential, whether that be within their chosen sport or in day-to-day life.
I’ve helped all kinds of people, from complete beginners at exercising, to top athletes to improve the way they move and return to a pain-free lifestyle. My aim as your chiropractor is not only to treat your symptoms but to uncover and eliminate the root cause.
Prior to becoming a chiropractor, I worked within gyms teaching fitness classes.
Alongside weight training, I enjoy playing golf, travelling, and listening to house music.
**I’ve also studied:**
• Dry Needling
• Active Release Technique
• Extremity Manipulation
• Back Pain in Weightlifters

highly-skilled-chiropractic-practitioner — **Cecile Charrier**

**LSSM Level 5 Sports Massage**
**BSc Sports Rehabilitation**
*“Bonjour, comment allez vous aujourd’hui?”*
I’m Cecile, and I’ve been with Backspace since the very beginning in 2016. After graduating with a degree in sports rehabilitation, my main focus has been dedicated to helping a wide variety of clients.
From office-working weekend warriors to weightlifters and regular gym-goers alike, I aim to alleviate pain, correct muscular imbalances, and reduce injury occurrence.
I find the human body truly fascinating and am passionate about making connections between imbalances, previous injuries or trauma, pain & dysfunction. My goal during our session is to assess your current issue, understand its origin and treat the area of discomfort.
I am a strong believer in prevention rather than cure. It’s always best for you to see me before you are in pain, so we can avoid injury in the first place.
In the summer of 2022, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to go through surgery. Once recovered, I qualified in oncology cancer massage as well as scar massage, so I could help others in these difficult times.
But do not fear. As a stubborn French woman, this won’t stop me from pulling buses or lifting stones in my spare time as I prepare for my next strongman competition.
**I’ve also studied:**
• A Degree in Sports Rehabilitation
• LSSM Sports Massage Level 5
• Facial Release ATRSM
• Dry Needling
• Oncology Cancer Massage including Scar Massage (Mastectomy/Cesarian)

Owain Evans

Clinical Director, Doctor of Chiropractic, MChiro, MRCC

“Helo a Shwmae!”

I’m Owain, Clinical Director and registered Doctor of Chiropractic at Backspace. It’s always been my dream to found my own clinic, so following my graduation from the University of Glamorgan back in 2009 with a master’s degree in Chiropractic, I worked in some of the top clinics in the country before taking the very best I had learned and combined them to create Backspace, which I opened in January 2016.

It’s my firm belief that a chiropractor shouldn’t just alleviate pain. They should also teach their patients to take control of their conditions, by giving them the knowledge and skills to help themselves. What I love about my team is that we all share a passion for the same philosophy of care, and we are all very enthusiastic about helping people to understand their bodies better and know WHY things sometimes break down and lead to symptoms.

I am always determined to get to the cause of the problem which is almost always related to our posture, lifestyle, and the way we coordinate our movement. teaching people how to sit stand and move in a healthier way is something I love doing.

I’m on the Board of Directors for The British Chiropractic Association (BCA), the UK’s number one Chiropractic Membership association.

I’ve also studied and trained as:

• Fully Qualified Personal Trainer
• Advanced Tri-Planar Kettlebell Instructor
• Certified in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS)
• Qualified in Dry Needling (like acupuncture. • Management of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• A specialist in Temperomandibular joint (TMJ or Jaw) Problems
• Qualified in Advanced Peripheral (Limb) Joint Manipulation
