Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. Our practitioners combine traditional Chinese techniques with modern applications to address chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions. Patients benefit from tailored sessions in a calming environment, with treatments designed to restore energy flow and improve overall wellbeing.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy sessions focus on improving mobility, reducing pain, and restoring function through targeted exercises and manual techniques. Elizabeth Laity delivers evidence-based treatments for musculoskeletal injuries, postural issues, and rehabilitation needs. Each session includes personalised exercise plans and hands-on therapy to accelerate recovery and prevent future injuries through improved body mechanics.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage addresses soft tissue injuries and chronic pain through deep tissue manipulation techniques. Claire Rhodes employs specific pressure and strokes to treat muscle tension, improve circulation, and aid recovery from sports injuries. Sessions focus on problem areas while maintaining overall muscular balance, with post-treatment advice to maintain therapeutic benefits between appointments.
Homeopathy
Homeopathic consultations provide individualised treatment plans using highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. Shelagh Cleary specialises in addressing chronic conditions, allergies, and emotional wellbeing through detailed case analysis. Patients receive customised remedy protocols alongside lifestyle advice to support long-term health improvements through this gentle, non-invasive approach.
Cranio Sacral Therapy
Cranio Sacral Therapy involves gentle manipulation of the skull and sacrum to improve cerebrospinal fluid flow and release bodily tensions. Emma Cass uses subtle hand placements to address stress-related disorders, migraines, and post-traumatic stress. This non-invasive technique promotes deep relaxation and nervous system regulation, with sessions adapted to individual sensitivity levels for optimal therapeutic outcomes.
