Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy focuses on mechanical, functional and postural diagnosis through structural body analysis. Our practitioners employ muscle stretching, joint mobilisation and thrust techniques to address musculoskeletal issues. This holistic approach considers the body's interconnected systems to restore natural alignment and function, particularly effective for back pain, joint problems and postural imbalances.
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy delivers targeted energy impulses to stimulate healing in chronic soft tissue conditions. This non-invasive treatment increases blood flow and cell regeneration while reducing pain factors. We use it successfully for plantar fasciitis, tendonitis and other musculoskeletal disorders resistant to conventional treatments, often showing immediate positive effects.
Sports Therapy
Sports Therapy specialises in injury prevention and rehabilitation using sport science principles. Our therapists combine physiological analysis with biomechanical assessment to prepare patients for physical activity. This service addresses acute injuries, chronic conditions and performance optimisation through tailored exercise programs and manual therapy techniques for athletes at all levels.
Gut Pain Treatment
Our visceral osteopathy approach treats stress-related digestive disorders through gentle organ manipulation. This technique restarts normal digestive function for conditions like IBS, malabsorption and chronic constipation. By addressing the musculoskeletal components affecting digestive organs, we improve both immediate symptoms and long-term gut health through holistic treatment protocols.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy combines therapeutic exercise, manual techniques and electrotherapy to restore function after injury or illness. Our practitioners develop customised rehabilitation programs that address pain management, mobility restoration and functional recovery. This evidence-based approach effectively treats post-surgical conditions, chronic pain syndromes and movement disorders through progressive therapeutic interventions.

After a couple of appointments with Jasper, my long standing back pain is gone. I can’t believe I lived in pain for so long, taking ibuprofen to manage it, having been told 3 years ago by another therapist that it was unlikely to improve any further. And I now understand what exercises I need to do if it gets a bit sore. I’m so impressed with this talented young man!

I have seen Jodielin a few times for physiotherapy after fracturing two spinous processes, I'm so pleased with my increased mobility and decreased pain levels

Report
Bruce was recommended to me, I'd suffered terrible back pain on and off for several years and was told it was scar tissue by my GP. After a thorough investigation into my injury and an examination I was told it was a "rib head rotation" and could be fixed. And it was. Bruce is extremely experienced and knowledgeable and I cannot thank him enough. I just wish I'd gone here years ago. I would thoroughly recommend him.
