Stuart Lawrence
BSc(Hons) MSc(Chiro) MSc(Eng) ICSSD CCEP PgD(Animal Chiro) RAMP
Stuart has been around dogs and animals (primarily reptiles and amphibians – keeping and breeding many different species) since he was a child, and realised after many years treating humans that small problems, when not managed, can become more serious requiring more invasive treatment. He has spent much of his life outside enjoying hobbies including shooting, fishing, and working on his allotment in Southend-on-Sea as well as a passion for increasing his knowledge in the management of many species of reptiles and amphibians.
Stuart has kept and worked dogs for several years, in particular German pointers and he passionately loves being out with his dogs Kaiser and Star. It was an issue with one of his dogs that made him decide to study animal chiropractic and as such he trained at the prestigious Options for Animals in the UK. Since then Stuart has worked with many animals, primarily dogs, and co managed the care of various cases from several of the veterinary specialists around Essex to manage post operative rehabilitation.
