We address underlying causes like disc compression and postural imbalances while providing tailored exercise programmes. Patients receive comprehensive education about pain management and prevention strategies.

Paediatric Osteopathy

Gentle cranial osteopathy for infants and children addresses developmental issues and birth-related strains. Our practitioners have specialist training in paediatric care, offering safe treatments for colic, sleep disturbances, and postural asymmetries.

Excellent. Huw is absolutely brilliant. Lovely manner with patients, makes you feel at ease. Has alleviated so much of my pain which Ive suffered with for over 8 years. Cant rate him highly enough. The receptionists are all lovely as well - great experience here right from the word go.

Denise is AMAZING. One of the best osteopaths I have seen and certainly the fastest results with her cranial work. She is very down-to-earth so you know you're getting what's required to get you back to full mobility, and nothing else. She was also helpful (and practical) with long-term solutions with my travel aches and pains. I would travel to Chester just to see Denise for a couple of sessions! Truly magical!

Suffered with back pain for 7 moths due to a work related injury. Had numerous doctor appointments in which i was put on strong pain killers and told to take up swimming. No clear verdict was reached on what the root cause was. Afer my first session at this clinic my problem was resolved and the the problem was found within the first 10 minutes of my first session and immediately felt great my posture was back to normal and the pain went with in a few days. After my follow up seesion i have been in great health with my back and not needed to go back. I strongly recommend this clinic great service

I've been seeing Robert Chernick about a knee problem which he has been extremely helpful in fixing. The practise is extremely friendly and worth the money if you need something sorted!
