For our founder, Matt Sambrook, chiropractic care was never a discovery; it was a foundation. From the age of 11, it was simply a normal, integral part of a healthy life, a principle embraced by his parents and grandparents alike.
As a competitive swimmer training and racing at a national level alongside future Olympians, chiropractic was the key to unlocking his body’s potential, helping him perform at his best and recover with strength.
It was this firsthand experience of living with proactive, supportive healthcare that planted a seed: a desire to help others build that same foundation for a lifetime of wellbeing.

This desire led him to university, where his understanding of chiropractic began to transform. Hearing remarkable stories of healing, he realised the profession’s potential reached far beyond the world of athletic performance.
It was a powerful tool for profound change in people’s lives. After graduating, he began his career as an associate, but his journey of discovery was far from over. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, he dedicated his time outside the clinic to seminars and advanced training, determined to grasp the deeper meaning of his craft.
He was guided by a simple philosophy: if you aren’t growing, you’re dying. Standing still was not an option. As an associate, he felt a growing need for the freedom to explore, to learn, and to build a practice that reflected his own evolving vision.
He knew there was more to chiropractic than a quick fix, and he wanted to create a space where patients could embark on a true journey to health, one that he could guide with authenticity and unwavering commitment.

In Autumn 2025, Haelan Chiropractic opened its doors. The name, derived from an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning ‘to heal’ and ‘the journey itself,’ perfectly captures the essence of our practice. We believe that health is not a destination, but a direction.
At Haelan, we guide you on that path. So much of modern healthcare stops at the first step: getting you out of pain. We see that as the beginning.
Our approach is designed to take you from A to Z. From initial relief to lasting confidence and control. We are here to move you beyond a life of reliance on quick fixes and into a future where you have the freedom to live fully.
Our purpose is to create a welcoming, honest environment where you feel seen, heard, and empowered.
We provide the expert care and steadfast support needed to help you regain control of your body, so you can be present for your family, dedicated to your career, and ready for whatever life brings your way.
