Chiropractic Care at Fortified
At Fortified, we don't believe in working around injuries indefinitely. We believe in helping you recover, rebuild your confidence, and get back to the activities that matter to you.
Our chiropractic care is built around a simple truth: hands-on treatment can ease pain and restore movement, but real, lasting progress comes from teaching your body to handle the demands of daily life again. That's why we combine skilled chiropractic treatment with smart programming in the gym to rebuild your strength and resilience.
Instead of telling you what to avoid, we help you understand what's happening, reduce your pain, and carefully guide you back to movement you can trust. Whether it's returning to the gym, playing with grandkids, or simply feeling strong in your everyday routine, we're here to support your journey back, safely and sustainably.
It’s about progress, not dependency. Movement, not limitation.

Your Fortified Chiropractor
Hi, I'm Sharon.
I’m a GCC-registered chiropractor and part of the Fortified team.
For over 15 years, I've worked with people at every stage of life to make sure physical aches and pains don't hold them back from what matters most. Whether that's a mum preparing for birth, a baby learning to roll, or someone training for their first (or fifth) marathon, my focus is always the same: helping you move forward with confidence.
I'm fully insured and registered with the General Chiropractic Council, so you're in safe, experienced hands.
GCC Registration: 03686
What to Expect
I provide chiropractic care for musculoskeletal problems. This could be issues affecting your joints, muscles, nerves, and movement.
Every appointment is tailored to you, but typically includes a detailed initial assessment of what's going on, a clear explanation of my findings and what might be contributing to the problem, and hands-on treatment where it's appropriate. From there, we'll work on rehab and strength-based exercises, discuss any modifications to your training, and create a clear plan with agreed next steps.
Care is always adapted to your goals and your current capacity, because what works for one person won't necessarily work for another.
How it Works
Step 1 — Book Online
Choose a time that suits you. Forms and confirmations are sent automatically.
Step 2 — Initial Consultation
We'll assess what's going on, discuss your goals, and agree on a plan together. This appointment takes around 40 minutes, and you'll leave with a clear understanding of what's likely contributing to the problem, what we're going to focus on, and what you can do between sessions.
Step 3 — Follow-Up Sessions
We'll reassess your progress and adjust your care based on how you're responding. Treatment sessions take up to 20 minutes, while progress reviews take up to 40 minutes.
What to wear: Comfortable clothing you can move in - your usual gym kit is ideal.
Why Choose Us?
You don't train in isolation and your care shouldn't happen in a vacuum.
For many musculoskeletal issues, building strength and endurance is a crucial part of recovery. That's why, where appropriate, I work directly with your Fortified coach to help you continue training safely while you recover.
This might mean adjusting load, range, or exercise selection. It could involve temporarily modifying certain movements (not eliminating them). Or it might be about progressing your rehab in a way that supports your performance goals. The specifics depend on you, but the principle stays the same: we're not here to stop you training unnecessarily. We're here to help you learn how to work with and through injury safely.
The result? You feel better, perform better, and build the confidence to keep moving forward.
FAQ’s
Will I need ongoing treatment forever?
No. The aim is always to reduce your reliance on treatment by improving your movement, strength, and ability to manage things yourself.
Will you just crack my back?
Joint manipulation may be used when it's appropriate, but it's never the only tool (and it's not always necessary).
Can I still train while I'm injured?
Ideally, yes. That’s the beauty of having your training and chiropractic care under one roof. We'll work together to decide what's appropriate and safe for you right now.
Where do treatments take place?
All treatments are done at the gym in a private, cordoned-off area.
How do I book my sessions?
You can book using the calendar below. You can always find this page again by opening the Fortified app, tapping the account icon, and selecting 'Chiropractic'.
What is the cancellation policy?
We require at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. You can do so by emailing sharon@fortifiedgym.com or sending a WhatsApp message to the gym phone.
Do I need to dress down for my treatment?
No. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing you can move in, and treatment will mostly be conducted while you're fully clothed. If an area of skin needs to be accessed, appropriate draping will be provided to maintain your privacy.
