Chiropractic Care

Our chiropractic treatments focus on removing nervous system interference to restore the body's natural healing abilities. Using precise adjustments, we address spinal misalignments causing back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Our practitioners employ various techniques suitable for all ages, from gentle methods for newborns to targeted approaches for athletes. The first consultation includes comprehensive diagnostics using the Insight Subluxation Station, a NASA-certified technology that maps spinal stress patterns. Regular adjustments help maintain optimal nervous system function, improving overall health and preventing future issues while addressing immediate discomfort.

Active Release Technique

ART is a patented movement-based massage technique that breaks down soft tissue adhesions and restores function. Certified providers use this 'gold standard' method to treat tendon, ligament, muscle, and nerve issues caused by overuse injuries or trauma. The process involves identifying problem areas, applying precise tension while guiding specific movements to release scar tissue. This improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and enhances mobility. Particularly effective for sports injuries, repetitive strain, and chronic pain conditions, ART accelerates healing by addressing the root cause rather than just symptoms through targeted, evidence-based interventions.

Functional Rehabilitation

Our functional rehabilitation programmes use the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to identify movement pattern imbalances. By analysing seven fundamental movements, we create customised exercise plans to improve strength, mobility, and injury prevention. This science-based approach targets specific weaknesses revealed through assessment, incorporating corrective exercises and neuromuscular re-education. Sessions focus on restoring proper biomechanics for daily activities and athletic performance while addressing postural imbalances contributing to chronic pain. The programme integrates seamlessly with chiropractic care to ensure lasting results through improved movement efficiency and reduced compensatory patterns.

In-House Gym

Our private gym offers expert-led strength and conditioning programmes tailored to individual goals. Qualified trainers provide small group sessions (max 3 people) combining social motivation with personalised attention. Programmes include injury rehabilitation, 1:1 coaching for specific objectives, and structured group training using state-of-the-art equipment. The facility features Concept2 ergometers, Precor cable machines, and functional training tools. Scientific programming combines resistance and aerobic training to improve cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and metabolic function while ensuring safe progression and injury prevention through professional supervision and evidence-based exercise prescription.

Corporate Wellness

Our corporate wellness programmes address musculoskeletal health and stress management in professional environments. Services include lunchtime health talks on topics like posture improvement, stress reduction, and nutrition. The computerised wellness score assessment identifies health risks through non-invasive testing, providing immediate feedback and actionable recommendations. Personalised screening events help businesses reduce absenteeism by addressing preventable health issues before they impact productivity. Programmes combine education with practical solutions for sedentary workplaces, including ergonomic advice and movement breaks while promoting a culture of preventative healthcare and employee wellbeing through structured, science-backed interventions.

I went to see Grant at Farnham Chiropractic Wellness Centre after two years of back pain as a nervous patient after a previous bad experience.
Using gentle techniques over a period of weeks, the pain has reduced materially to almost non existent and mobility is back to where it used to be. There is an emphasis overall well being and encourage changes to diet and exercise to support your recovery and beyond. Would highly recommend.

I went to Farnham Chiropractic on the suggestion of my uncle John to see a Chiropractor. I just googled Chiropractors near me. They were friendly and professional and sold me a package to suit my specific needs. I had previously been warned that Chiropractors often try to sell you over the top packages costing thousands of pounds, that was not the case with me. I had a consult with Graham and he recommended that I needed aproximately 10 sessions to get back to where I wanted to be. He was bang on!

I have been going to see Grant at Farnham Chiropractic for a number of years now. He is professional, knowledgeable and highly effective. His ability to conduct a rapid diagnosis is nothing short of phenomenal which displays a high degree of expertise and years of experience. I would recommend Grant unreservedly (and have done so) - you will be in the safest and best hands.

Grant has worked wonders with my back and also helped my Little boy with hip alignment and a clicking jaw. Youll see lots of raving reviews for Grant because he is brilliant but I want to share another gem I benefitted from massively at the Wellness Center. As part of my Wellness package I had a couple of sessions with nutritionist Tristan. At the time I thought I would only use the initial session with him since I eat really well and have a good understanding of what a healthy diet looks like but I had put on about half a stone during the first lock down. I wont give away the trade secrets

Grant has been a great help with a foot injury (Plantar Fasciitis). Really helping so I can get back to fully exercise again, great team at the clinic. Would highly recommend.

I was at my lowest when I came to the clinic having suffered from sciatica for months without any improvement to my symptoms. Chiropractic treatment was my last chance for a solution before seeking surgery. The response from my body to treatment was almost immediate. Where the pain before was excruciating, after the first few sessions I was suddenly seeing the pain subside and my mobility improve. Life suddenly started to look that much better. I only regret not seeing Grant and his Team sooner, but things happen for a reason right so no reason to dwell. Needles to say I cant recommend this

I have used chiropractors, physios and osteopaths over 15 years to supplement my running and training. But coming across Grant and Graeme has been the best experience of therapy so far. Having done an ultra marathon in November, I had been experiencing enduring knee pain and shin pain on the opposite leg. I was also cross country running and training for a half marathon PB. I was keen to find a solution and work through it. Grant systematically checked through my weaknesses and adjusted where necessary, he also used a massage technique and taping to loosen off the fascia and hold the knee in place
