Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy at The Harrison Clinic focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders through hands-on techniques. Our practitioners address structural imbalances causing pain or restricted mobility, employing soft tissue manipulation, joint articulation, and spinal adjustments. Treatment plans often include rehabilitation exercises and lifestyle advice to prevent recurrence, with specialists treating patients from age eight upwards while preparing to expand paediatric services.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service specialises in restoring mobility and reducing pain from sports injuries, postural issues, and post-operative conditions. Using evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, electrotherapy, and tailored exercise programs, our physiotherapists address muscular imbalances and joint stiffness. Particular expertise exists in treating frozen shoulder conditions and post-surgical rehabilitation, with measurable outcomes demonstrated through patient recovery testimonials.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy at our clinic employs subtle manipulative techniques focusing on the head, spine, and sacrum to release tension patterns. This gentle approach benefits patients seeking relief from headaches, stress-related musculoskeletal pain, and post-traumatic symptoms. Our certified practitioners use rhythmic palpation to identify restrictions, making this service particularly suitable for sensitive patients and those requiring complementary care alongside conventional treatments.
Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy combines deep tissue work with stretching techniques to enhance athletic performance and accelerate injury recovery. Our therapists target specific muscle groups affected by repetitive strain, using myofascial release and trigger point therapy to improve circulation and flexibility. This service benefits both professional athletes and recreational exercisers seeking to prevent injuries or optimise physical conditioning through regular maintenance sessions.
Women's Health
Our women's health service provides specialised care across all life stages, from reproductive health to menopausal support. Practitioners address pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy-related discomfort, and postpartum recovery through targeted manual therapy and exercise prescription. The service integrates musculoskeletal treatment with holistic health advice, offering tailored solutions for conditions like premenstrual syndrome and menopausal joint pain while maintaining close coordination with obstetric care providers.

Juliet has been excellent at helping repair what had become a persistent injury around my elbow joint.
Finished my treatment program with Callum, almost completely over the golfers elbow, just one final check to go. Treament has been very effective.

Early days but all good Nathan seemed very well informed, not only about
the back problem i had but also the overall problem and how my existing problems might affect it. I am confident we will move forward from here. Only my first visit.

I wouldnt hesitate in recommending the Harrison Clinic. I have visited a few times over the years; and on my most recent referral returned to the friendly, welcoming and safe space; the Harrison Clinic is. They are professional, knowledgable and have patient care at the centre of all that they do.

The treatment may be painful at times, but Nathan is always friendly and professional. His methodical approach is eliminating what isn't the cause and focusing on what is. Would totally recommend!

Nathan was very professional from start to finish. He listened to me, explained and understood my problem. His treatment has reformed the agony I have spent the last 4 days in. I am sure he has saved me from a slipped disc. Cannot thank him enough. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends.
