Osteopathy
Our osteopathic treatments use gentle manual techniques to address musculoskeletal issues. We focus on improving mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing overall function through tailored treatment plans. Patients receive comprehensive education about their condition and specific exercises to support recovery. This holistic approach works particularly well for back pain, joint issues, and postural problems.
Sports Massage
Specialised sports massage therapy helps alleviate muscle tension, improve flexibility, and accelerate recovery from injuries. Our practitioners tailor techniques to address specific sport-related strains and overuse injuries. Sessions include postural analysis and corrective exercise recommendations to prevent recurring issues and enhance athletic performance.

I can't recommend Forte highly enough. Niro was my osteopath for several months and was very warm, professional and thorough. His suspected diagnosis was confirmed by an MRI and he helped me to manage my pain via treatment until I needed to have surgery to resolve the problem fully. The practice is very clean and covid safe. Should I need an osteopath again I won't hesitate to go back.

Niro was just brilliant. I'd never been to an Osteopath before and was a bit nervous but Niro did a great job of putting my at ease and chatting to me to make sure I could relax. The treatment was efficient and stress free, and most importantly, I am no longer in pain. The initial online booking system was great and very easy to use- I could… chose the level of therapist I wanted then pick who and see what available slots they had. After the first appointment Niro just booked me in again at a convenient time at the end of each session, making it all very fuss free. I would highly recommend

Fantastic and professional service by Chris. I had left a note on my booking prior to my visit as I had never visited an osteopath before and was a little apprehensive, especially during these strange times - Chris responded very promptly and put my mind at ease straight away. He was extremely informative during the appointment and I left feeling a few feet taller! Since then, my back has improved rapidly and I am continuing the recommended stretches at home. The clinic itself is spotless and Chris has taken more than appropriate measures to ensure that the guidelines are followed. I will certainly

It was my first time ever going to an Osteopath with my neck/shoulder pain so was naturally a little bit nervous. I was seen by Mike who instantly made me feel at ease by explaining the process, asking questions about my pain and being very informative about what he was doing while being assessed and treated. I felt extra safe knowing that Covid regulations were being followed to keep staff and clients safe. A very professional, friendly and beneficial place to go! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
