Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy at Mere Clinic involves gentle manipulations and soft tissue techniques to address musculoskeletal conditions. Our practitioners treat back pain, neck pain, and joint issues through individualised treatment plans. We focus on improving mobility and reducing pain while considering each patient's overall health and lifestyle factors.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy uses subtle manipulations to release accumulated stresses in the body. This gentle approach is particularly effective for treating babies and individuals with sensitive conditions. Our practitioners apply rhythmic techniques to improve fluid circulation and relieve tension throughout the body.
Foot Health
Our foot health services address corns, calluses, and nail conditions through manual treatments. We combine nail cutting and filing with joint mobility techniques to improve foot function. Treatment considers lower limb mechanics to address both immediate symptoms and underlying causes.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy at Mere Osteopathy restores balance through hands-on techniques. We use joint articulation and soft tissue work to address musculoskeletal imbalances. Our approach considers whole-body mechanics to treat specific injuries and chronic conditions affecting mobility and comfort.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy forms part of our integrated treatment approach. We use targeted techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Sessions combine deep tissue work with myofascial release to address specific problem areas and support overall musculoskeletal health.

Report
Mary was absolutely fantastic. She diagnosed and remedied the problem in the first session. She was so kind and chatty that she made you feel at ease.

Report
I can't recommend Mary enough. Years of a sciatic type pain have been reduced to nearly nothing after just two visits. I'm going back for more!
