The Chiropractic Team
Dr. Michael Pim, DC
Director/Principal Chiropractor
Dr. Michael Pim, DC is the owner of Crowthorne Family Chiropractic Centre and is a second-generation Doctor of Chiropractic who studied at the fountainhead of the profession - Palmer Chiropractic College in the USA. He has over 25 years of working experience and was brought up around the chiropractic profession. His father, Dr. Desmond Pim, who is originally from Northern Ireland, practiced chiropractic in Reading, Berkshire for 48 years and retired in 2010. Dr. Michael's brother Dr. Richard and sister Dr. Fiona are also practicing chiropractors in the UK.

Dr. Anthony Kay, DC
Chiropractor
Dr. Anthony Kay, DC studied at the prestigious Anglo European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth and graduated from the Master of Chiropractic degree program with Merit. He has a passion for helping people of all ages reach their full potential in their health and wellbeing. His special interests are in pregnancy and sports. Children have a right to the best start in life and not have their development impeded by the structural and nervous interference that can often be caused either during pregnancy or through the birthing process. Playing sports has always been of great importance to ensure his body is in the best possible condition. Dr Kay has experience working with the academy at Bournemouth FC as well as other amateur athletes. On his days away from Clinic you’ll find him either cycling, walking, playing hockey or in the gym!
His journey into chiropractic began when he visited a chiropractor aged 12 to enable him to play rugby to the best of his ability with no pain or restriction. A few years later, after regular visits with other members of his family and having experienced the beneficial effects on his overall health and performance, he chose to pursue a career in chiropractic. The allure of becoming highly skilled in a healing art and having the ability and responsibility to guide people on the path to optimum health made it a very easy decision. He looks forward to sharing you and your families’ journey to a happier and healthier you.

Frances Husband
Practice Manager for England and N. Ireland
Having graduated from the University of Surrey with an Honours Degree in Business and Media Studies I began my career in the recruitment industry. I then took a 5 year career break to raise my two children Georgia and Michael. My husband and I are passionate about maintaining a natural and healthy lifestyle with a particular interest in alternative therapies and nutrition. It was clear from my initial meeting with Dr. Pim that our health philosophies matched perfectly. I thoroughly enjoy working as part of the team and wholeheartedly endorse the ethos of the practice. It is so refreshing to work with colleagues and patients who share this philosophy and I look forward to a long relationship with them.
Angie Davis
Chiropractic Assistant
After a career break in 2014 and a rewarding few months of volunteer work with elephants in South Africa, I am very happy to have joined Crowthorne Family Chiropractic Centre. Alternative therapies and wellness treatments have always been preferential and beneficial to me. I have personally benefitted from regular chiropractic adjustments as part of my own holistic treatment plan. As a vegan, I'm naturally interested in nutrition. I have studied a Level 3 Diploma in Nutritional Therapy which has given me a greater and more valuable insight into the importance of healthy eating and an active lifestyle. It's great to be part of the wonderful team here at the clinic and I love assisting patients through their treatments to help them achieve optimum well-being.
