Wichart Drost

BWT Sign

Chiropractor and Chartered Physiotherapist

 

 
Wichart was born and raised in The Netherlands, where he initially pursued a career in engineering. Looking for a more fulfilling career, he changed direction obtaining an honours degree in Physiotherapy from Utrecht University in 2002. Gaining experience in all of the core clinical areas of physiotherapy, he benefited from a wide range of clinical placements, including a position in a clinic for manual therapy and sports rehabilitation in Switzerland.

His special interest in musculoskeletal problems and manipulative treatments led him to move into private practice, working in a large physiotherapy and rehabilitation centre in Austria. As he got offered a position on the cruise ship “MS AIDA”, he took the opportunity to travel the Mediterranean and Caribbean whilst earning money working as a physiotherapist and sports massage therapist.

Eager to learn more and develop his skills further, Wichart went on to study Chiropractic at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, where he obtained a Masters degree in 2008. He gained invaluable experience working as an associate in two private clinics for integrated physiotherapy and chiropractic Care in Southampton and Portsmouth, whilst finishing the required training with the college of chiropractors to obtain his DC (Doctor of Chiropractic) from the British Chiropractic Association in 2009.

Wichart joined BWT in February 2010, working initially at the West Hants Club. He now runs a clinic at our new premises at Shelley Manor together with the patients he sees in Southampton and Portsmouth.
