Hi, I'm Jacob
I am a qualified Chiropractor and Sports Massage Therapist passionate about helping people feel better, move more freely, and live with less pain. I own Heaton Chiropractic and founded JR Recovery2Fitness.
My approach
Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing everyday aches and pains, or simply aiming to stay mobile and independent, my approach is always tailored to you. I believe in effective care that fits your lifestyle and individual needs.
Journey so far
My journey began in competitive sport. I competed nationally and internationally in trampolining and double mini trampoline. Later, I transitioned into coaching, judging, and squad management. These experiences deepened my love for sport and taught me the importance of patience, resilience, and support on the road to optimum health.
That fascination with how the body works inspired me to become a Sports Massage Therapist. This gave me a deeper understanding of movement and recovery, and the tools to help people stay active and pain-free. To broaden how I can support others, I qualified as a Chiropractor.
I created JR Recovery2Fitness because I understand how challenging it can be to make real, lasting changes. True wellness is about seeing the whole picture; movement, recovery, nutrition, mental wellbeing, hobbies, social connection, and more all play a role in helping us live our best lives. It's never just one thing.
My goal
My hope is that JR Recovery2Fitness becomes a community where everyone feels welcome and encouraged. A place where you can find the support and tools you need to keep moving forward and become the best version of yourself, one step at a time, no matter what your goals are.
Outside of work
I enjoy swimming, badminton, cycling, and running. I also develop products like magnesium flakes and the JR Fuse Bottle, designed to support your recovery and wellbeing in everyday life.

What patients say
Real Google reviews from our Heaton and Whitley Bay clinics.
Miya Byrnes
I'd highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares about their patients and delivers effective results. My experience with Jacob was excellent from start to finish. He's professional, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to understand what's going on rather than rushing through appointments. The session felt tailored to my needs, and he explains things clearly so I actually understand what's happening with my body.
Michelle Wood
Excellent - I can highly recommend Jacob, I had my first consultation and sports massage today and I am really impressed. The consultation was professional, friendly, thorough and he talked me through his findings and the next steps. The sports massage has already helped and I'm feeling relief from the pain. I have already booked my next session and can't recommend Jacob highly enough. Thankyou.
Paul Steanson
I highly recommend Jacob for first class sports massage. I've already made future bookings to support my recovery from forthcoming marathon training. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable, professional and is very personable in his approach. From the first consultation I knew that I'd made a great choice!
Bob Watson
I have been treated by Jacob since he started his practice. I have nothing but praise for the outstanding treatment. I always feel on top of the world following my visits. Great chiropractor and a really nice guy. Thoroughly recommended
