Behind the Movement

Luke graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (WIOC) in 2015 and started an innovative rehabilitation and healthcare company called Back to Roots (B2R) in 2016. Frustrated by the Chiropractic professions traditional model of care Luke teamed up with Paul McCambridge to create a company that marries up ‘evidence based practice’ and holistic healthcare in a person centred way, greatly inspired by Play. In 2017 Luke and Paul started guest lecturing at the University of South Wales, WIOC, and over the passing years have had greater impact at the University with B2R methods with Paul now being course leader and Luke lecturing weekly in the 3rd and 4th years of the course. Luke has and still mentors healthcare professionals and trainers in the B2R approach and has spoken internationally on the topic of exercise adherence and musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

Luke, Paul and the B2R team have been running CPD events around the world for the past 5 years, receiving British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) and Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) accreditation. B2R created “Pain Clinic”, A 12 week self management programme delivered via the Results Wellness Lifestyle app which is also undergoing trials for approval to be accessible on the National Health Service (NHS) here in the UK.

Luke has also completed a Sports and Exercise Science Degree and has a vast interest in exercise from Rugby, to Weightlifting, to Gymnastics, to dance, to boxing, to capoeira, to strongman just to name a few.

At the time of writing Luke has led two SOLD-OUT B2R internships with Samantha Emmanuel.
