Meet the Chiropractors
James Crooks
As a keen sportsman, James experienced multiple sporting injuries at a young age, which resulted in his seeking out chiropractic care with Sarah. James has had first-hand experience with how chiropractic care can improve recovery and overall wellness, which led him to pursue a career in chiropractic to help others the way he was helped.
James completed five years of study at the University of South Wales, where he developed a strong foundation in chiropractic techniques, patient care, and rehabilitation knowledge. James is excited to bring these skills to Abertawe Chiropractic and continue expanding his knowledge base and treatment options to provide the most effective care for each individual.
Physical activity has always been an important part of James’ life. James has been involved in a wide variety of activities, and he currently enjoys running, weightlifting, and a little bit of surfing.
Born in Swansea and having lived in Skewen for most of his life, James is especially excited to work with people in the community he’s always called home. James looks forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your personal health goals!
Sarah Williams (she/her)
Sarah has always had a passion for sport, spending most of her childhood Saturdays at the local leisure centre. With a background in gymnastics as both an athlete and a coach, she developed a deep fascination with the mechanics of movement – how the body should move, and what happens when it doesn’t. This interest led her to study at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, where she graduated in 2014 after five years of training.
Today, Sarah has particular clinical interests in headaches and migraines, pregnancy and paediatric care, joint hypermobility, and complex movement problems.
As a headache sufferer herself, Sarah is genuinely passionate about helping people with headaches and migraines. Having experienced first-hand the impact headaches can have on daily life, and the relief that hands-on care can bring, she is dedicated to helping patients reduce the frequency and intensity of their symptoms and regain control of their wellbeing.
Sarah is also particularly passionate about pregnancy, postnatal, neonatal and paediatric care. She has undertaken extensive postgraduate training in these areas and enjoys supporting women through the physical changes of pregnancy and recovery after birth. She also has a keen interest in helping babies, children and their families with musculoskeletal health, providing gentle, individualised care tailored to each stage of development.
With her roots in gymnastics, Sarah has a strong interest in joint hypermobility. She finds it fascinating to view hypermobility from both perspectives, where flexibility can be praised for enabling impressive skills, yet the underlying challenges are often overlooked. She enjoys supporting hypermobile patients in building strength, stability and confidence, helping them manage the challenges that can sometimes exist behind the scenes.
Sarah also enjoys working with more complex movement problems. Drawing on over a decade of clinical experience, she enjoys identifying the underlying cause of dysfunctional movement and helping patients restore more efficient, resilient movement patterns. Challenging cases often feel like a puzzle waiting to be solved, making them one of the most rewarding aspects of her work.
After qualifying, Sarah moved to Swansea to continue her professional development under the guidance of two of the first chiropractors to establish a practice in Wales. Outside of work, she remains actively involved in sport. She is a keen runner, having completed a full marathon in 2024 for Dementia UK. Her sporting background continues to shape her approach to patient care, combining performance insight with clinical expertise.
