About the Business
The practice was originally formed in 1947 by Ben Sclaire, who was a Chiropodist. The premises were situated on the corner of Essex Road and Balls Pond Road, and moved to Essex Road in the late 1950's. Ben's wife, Rita managed the business and later in the early 1970's his two children joined the family practice as Chiropodists and in 1979 the surgery moved to its present location and has been there ever since. In early 1994 Kay Lawman, Chartered Physiotherapist, joined the practice and introduced physiotherapy to the existing chiropody service and later Kay founded The Islington Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic.
Sadly Kay Lawman passed away in February 2010. However, Martin Simpkin and Kay Lawman's two children, Natalie and James Simpkin, now owners of the clinic are managing the practice, which is indeed, a familiar situation to that which existed during the Sclaire period.
