These fundamental beliefs are the cornerstone of Sally Stanworth and her team’s approach at The Bicester practice. Our methods aim to restore you to a pain-free and injury-free life, enabling you to embrace an active lifestyle.

BELIEF #1 – Everyone Deserves To Be Listened To
After working with thousands of patients, my strongest belief is that every person deserves to be truly listened to. Pain can be an isolating experience – it often becomes invisible to those around us. Friends, family, and even colleagues may brush it off, labelling someone by their condition rather than their potential for recovery. For example, we’ve all heard someone described as “the person who always has a bad back.” Instead of dismissing people this way, I believe we should pause, pay attention, and take a proper look at what’s going on. That shift – from ignoring to understanding – creates the possibility for real change.
BELIEF #2 – Pain Should Never Be Normalised
Pain is tricky because people can grow used to living with it. Over time, ongoing discomfort starts to feel “normal” to the person experiencing it and to those around them. But just because something has been there for years doesn’t mean it should stay that way. I believe we should never accept pain as an identity or a permanent label. Instead, we should view it as a challenge to investigate and resolve wherever possible. By refusing to normalise pain, we open the door to new options and, most importantly, hope.
BELIEF #3 – Chiropractic Care Should Feel Safe And Accessible
I also hold the belief that chiropractic care should never feel intimidating. Many people hesitate to seek help because they worry it might be painful, invasive, or overwhelming. To address that, we use the McTimoney technique – a gentle and precise method that realigns the body in a way that feels safe, comfortable and effective. We also provide free spine checks for anyone uncertain about what to expect. This allows people to experience an assessment, ask questions, and understand our professional recommendations before making a decision. Everyone deserves to feel empowered with information, rather than pressured into care they don’t fully understand.
BELIEF #4 – Healing Begins with Respect and Time
Too often, patients feel rushed or treated as a collection of symptoms rather than as whole people. My belief is that healing begins with respect, patience, and genuine human connection. In our practice, we give people time, listen carefully to their concerns, and provide explanations that make sense to them. This approach ensures that individuals feel valued rather than dismissed. By focusing on the person, not just their condition, we create an environment where trust and true healing can take root. It’s about restoring dignity and building a pathway toward long-term well-being.
