Andrea Howell MChiro, DC, PGCERT, MRCC
Clinic Director & Principle Chiropractor
Andrea Howell graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, following a four-year undergraduate master's degree (M.Chiro). She was lucky enough to begin her career being mentored by the longest practicing chiropractors in Wales, and although she enjoyed her time working at the clinics in Swansea, Andrea was keen to practice closer to home and the community she grew up in. She established TWC in Whitchurch, Cardiff in 2012 and in 2018 opened SMCC to make care accessible to patients in Cardiff East area, St Mellons, Castleton, Marshfield and the surrounding areas.
Andrea has completed her Royal College of Chiropractors PRTS, and a University of Glamorgan post-graduate certificate (PGCert) in 'Clinical Excellence', with Distinction. She has also had post graduate training in Clinical Pilates, treating women during pregnancy, western medical acupuncture (or dry needling), and Sacro-Occipital Technique. She has also been a supervisor of the 4th year chiropractic students in their clinical year at the University of South Wales.
She is passionate about the benefits of chiropractic treatment, and finds great satisfaction in helping people out of pain, and improving the quality of individuals' lives.
Patrick Walsh MChiro
Associate Chiropractor
Patrick graduated from University of South Wales with a first-class honour master’s in chiropractic. He is also an IPF powerlifting coach and level 3 personal trainer.
Patrick's journey in health began as a national swimmer, which sparked his passion for performance. It was during this time that
he first encountered the limitations that injuries and pain can impose on progress.
Performance has always been a key focus for Patrick, and that drive eventually led him to transition from swimming to strength training. However, pain and injury followed him into this
new area of fitness as well bringing him to chiropractic.
Patrick is passionate about finding solutions to pain and injury, and understanding the reasons behind them. If you're looking to reduce pain, prevent injuries, and enhance your performance, Patrick will work together with you and get you started on your journey today.
