White Horse Alternative Therapy Our Team

 


A Wealth Of Experience

The WHAT Team consist of two of the UKs most experienced animal therapists with a combined experience of over fifty years in the field of animal manipulation. They have both served time as tutors on the McTimoney Chiropractic College's Animal Manipulation course, the McTimoney Chiropractic Association's Executive Committee and have been involved with animal chiropractic in both practical and political ways. Both were trained by John McTimoney himself and much of his philosophy is ingrained in their approach.

Lynda and Tony have had a long-time involvement with alternative healing techniques and have additional qualifications in several other areas as well as a wide appreciatioin of the spheres of optimum application for various other techniques. They are therefore able to offer advice on the choices to be made when seeking an alternative treatment route for your animal. Having worked in this field for many years they also have extensive contacts within the alternative professions and can offer guidance for those wishing to use complementary techniques on their animals.
 

Tony Gilmore

Tony Gilmore

A patient of John McTimoney's from the age of nine, Tony went straight to chiropractic college from his sixth form educaton in Oxford. After qualifying from the McTimoney College he became an early Principal of that establishment succeeding Mrs Hilda McTimoney who had in turn taken over the principalship after Mr McTimoney's untimely death.
Tony held that post for ten years during which time the college underwent a rapid and traumatic transformation.
The McTimoney Technique was his chosen manipulative method because of its inclusion of animal manipulation in its armory. Animals had played a major part in Tony's life since his childhood days on a mixed farm in Ireland. To find a teacher who combined the essential simplicity and soundness of chiropractic with the treatment of animals was like a dream come true.
Tony has been a tutor on the College's course virtually continually since qualifying, has served on the Working Party on Chiropractic Safety and Competence, has been Animal PRO of the McTimoney Chiropractic Association and an Executive Committee member of the MCA. He has spoken widely on Animal Chiropractic promoting it in the UK, Ireland and abroad.
He has worked with horses in all the major equine disciplines culminating in treating horses for the team members of seven different Olympic Teams in the run up to the Barcelona Olympic Games. Currently much of his work is with racehorses in both the racing disciplines - Flat and National Hunt racing.


Lynda Clark

 
 
Lynda Clark

Lynda joined the McTimoney Chiropractic College solely to learn animal manipulation but subsequently built a large and thriving human practice in Dorset.
After some years in dual practice she forsook the humans for her first love - animals. Her practice covers a wide area of the South of England and she has treated working dogs for two police authorities.
She has been a tutor on both the human and the animal course at the McTimoney College and was a member of the McTimoney team who, in the early nineties, negotiated an agreement with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons that allowed chiropractors to be included in the minor exceptions clause of the Veterinary Act, thus paving the way for increased cooperation and liaison with the veterinary profession and an increasing awareness from orthodox veterinary surgeons of the role chiropractic can play in animal health.
Lynda has had a lifelong interest in dogs culminating in her breeding of borzois and subsequently becoming a Kennel Club judge.
She continues her manipulative work despite being effectively disenfranchised by the General Chiropractic Council, who have decided, in their infinite wisdom, that animal chiropractic does not exist and must be called something else. Lynda continues to treat, using chiropractic techniques, in the way she has done with great success for the last twenty years.
