Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy treatment combines traditional manual techniques with modern diagnostic approaches to address musculoskeletal conditions. We specialise in treating back and neck pain, joint issues, and sports injuries through hands-on manipulation and mobilisation. Our practitioners develop personalised treatment plans focusing on improving mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing overall physical function through natural healing processes.
Ultrasound Therapy
This advanced treatment uses targeted sound waves to accelerate tissue healing and reduce chronic pain. We employ ultrasound therapy for conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, and sports injuries by stimulating the body's natural repair mechanisms. The non-invasive treatment promotes blood circulation and breaks down scar tissue, helping patients regain mobility and function without surgical intervention.
Sports Massage
Our sports massage therapy addresses muscle strains, tension, and sports-related injuries through deep tissue manipulation. This treatment improves circulation, reduces muscle stiffness, and enhances athletic performance while preventing future injuries. We tailor massage techniques to individual needs, whether for injury recovery, post-event recovery, or regular maintenance.
Herniated Disc Treatment
We specialise in non-surgical treatment for herniated discs using a combination of manual therapy and ultrasound technology. Our approach reduces nerve compression, alleviates pain, and restores spinal function through targeted interventions. We focus on strengthening supporting structures while improving mobility and preventing recurrence through rehabilitative exercises.
Medical Acupuncture
This evidence-based treatment uses fine needles to target trigger points in muscles and soft tissues. We employ medical acupuncture to relieve chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and improve muscle function for conditions like tennis elbow and shoulder pain. The treatment stimulates natural pain-relieving mechanisms while promoting tissue healing and improved circulation.

Report
My first and last time with Mark he clearly told me over the phone that my treatment was 55 after my 20minutes of treatment an lot of talking Mark charged me 65.. So when I confronted him about this he told me I miss heard him (which I did not) After a while he gave me my 10 back but was making out I miss heard him which I really did not. He was clearly trying it on thinking I wouldn't challenge him. I would not recommend this guy
