Kathryn Deverson is the owner and principal chiropractor of Proactive Chiropractic. She founded the first clinic in 2023 with a vision of providing high-quality, movement-focused care, and has since expanded to a second location with a rapidly growing team. 

Kathryn’s journey into chiropractic started at just 14 when her father was injured in a rugby match. Watching a chiropractor help him recover sparked her passion for the profession, and she knew from that moment that she wanted to pursue chiropractic as a career. She graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic in 2019 and has since dedicated herself to helping people move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing what they love.

With a background in sports chiropractic, Kathryn has worked extensively with athletes at all levels. She spent several years as Head of Medical at Pontypridd RFC before stepping into her current role as Head of Medical for the Cardiff Devils Ice Hockey team. She has also worked on the world stage, treating elite athletes at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the Rugby League World Cup, as well as touring with the GB Surf Life Saving team.

Kathryn has a particular passion for working with "weekend warriors"—runners, triathletes, CrossFitters, and anyone who loves pushing their limits. She believes in a combined approach of manual therapy and rehabilitation to help her patients stay strong, recover well, and keep chasing their goals. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her training for triathlons, out on a run, or cheering on her teams.

Beyond her clinical work, Kathryn is actively involved in shaping the chiropractic profession. She sits on the British Chiropractic Association's Communications and CPD Committees, helping to bridge the gap between chiropractors, other healthcare professionals, and the public.
