Mr. Stefaan Vossen Clinic Director

Stefaan Vossen first trained as a physiotherapist at the University of Ghent, Belgium. Specialised in neuro-rehabilitation and spinal manipulative techniques and as a chiropractor completed a BSc and an MSc with the University of Portsmouth, UK. He has lectured publicly and privately for GP’s and consultants and continues to educate and innovate in the back pain field. He is also the founder of TCPN, a quality assurance network, and Core-Wellness an assessment and treatment method which promotes good practice and novel research. Mr. Vossen’s team operates clinics in Warwick and London.

“To me our treatment isn’t only emergency medicine, it is mainly about enabling biomechanical health and wellbeing but it is often only when in crisis that we realise how valuable the freedom to move is”
Stefaan’s philosophy is simple:
“90% of the time patients come to me for the first time when they’re in crisis – in pain or in desperation, because they feel they’ve been everywhere for help, but got nowhere. Firstly, I try to really understand patients and keep digging and asking ‘why’ until the cause of their problem becomes clear. Then everything becomes easy; all you have to do is  is take the cause away and let things fix themselves. Sadly, they’ve regularly never been asked these important questions before. After that they just let me look after them as little as necessary to enable them to do the things they want to do.”
Core Wellness is the embodiment of this thinking: “When you understand the different components of health and wellbeing, these questions and answers usually tell you everything you need to know, in order to diagnose and decide on what treatment is needed.”

The first clinician able to guarantee the results of his work.

Stefaan’s results speak for themselves; in 2009, after three years of rigorous analysis of his treatment results, an international insurance company made him the first clinician able to guarantee treatment results. You can read more about this in the guarantee section on this site.

“Obviously I am very pleased to have received such validation for my work but I do believe that it is testimony only to what proper care can achieve when practiced with diligence, responsability and humility. Ultimately the fact is that the back pain world is looked at with great scepticism and guaranteeing outcomes just takes away the risk of wasting anymore money on treatments”
Stefaan looks after a large number of athletes and sports people (both individually and via club and team associations) including amongst others professional boxers, rugby and football players, ice-skaters, ballroom dancers, tennis players and golfers, and a number of England and Scotland athletes.
Stefaan has also lectured for the NHS and has been involved in several studies and research papers.
