About Karyn Clark

Karyn is the founder and owner of Evolve Life Pain & Injury Clinic, bringing over 25 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. With a deep understanding of what it means to evolve in life, Karyn has dedicated her career to helping others do the same.

Before earning her Chiropractic degree from McTimoney College of Chiropractic, part of the University of Wales, Karyn was an outdoor education instructor, working with diverse age groups and abilities. It was during this time that she discovered McTimoney Chiropractic, inspiring her to change her career path while retaining her passion for outdoor education.

In 2004, after completing her degree, Karyn opened her first clinic, Evergreen Chiropractic Clinic, in Letchworth Garden City. The clinic quickly outgrew its original premises, leading to the expansion into Evergreen Wellness Centre in 2008. This center offered a broad range of therapies and classes, including Yoga, Pilates, and Counseling, and flourished for 12 years.

During her tenure as Director and Clinical Lead, Karyn continued her studies, becoming a Personal Trainer and Clinical Somatics Educator. She became renowned for her expertise in Pelvic Girdle Pain, as recommended by the Pelvic Partnership. Karyn's passion lies in empowering people to alleviate pain themselves and understand pain mechanisms and self-management.

Her own experience with chronic back pain, including a fractured spine from a snowboarding accident at 24, led Karyn to evolve her clinic further. In 2019, Evergreen Wellness Centre was rebranded to Evolve Life at Evergreen, introducing a new rehab facility focused on pain relief through manual therapy, movement, and education. The COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges, forcing the clinic to adapt by moving many services online.

In September 2020, Evolve Life Pain & Injury Clinic opened its doors in the center of Letchworth Garden City and since then has also expanded out to Henlow, Bedfordshire.

"My goal has always been to create a multi-disciplinary clinic. For 12 incredible years, I realised that dream. The pandemic was a significant challenge, but we regrouped, adapted, and evolved. This experience has been an opportunity to refocus and steer the clinic in an exciting new direction, incorporating the latest understanding of pain and injury management. Staying current with evidence and research is vital to be able to offer our patients the most up to date service."

Beyond her work at the clinic, Karyn has taught Clinical Somatics professionally and continues her studies in pain education. She is currently pursuing an MSc in Clinical Pain Management and serves as a Clinical Supervisor at McTimoney College of Chiropractic. Outside of work, Karyn enjoys staying active, whether in the gym, wakeboarding, stand up paddle- boarding, or competing as a natural bodybuilder!
