Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy uses hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal issues, restoring structural and functional balance. Our practitioners address back pain, joint problems, and chronic conditions through manipulation, stretching, and soft tissue release. Tailored to patients of all ages, including athletes and pregnant women, this therapy alleviates pain and improves mobility by targeting muscle tension and joint restrictions.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate healing and relieve symptoms. Effective for migraines, arthritis, and stress-related conditions, it promotes natural pain relief and balances bodily systems. Our practitioners integrate this traditional Chinese medicine technique with modern healthcare to address both acute and chronic ailments, including Long Covid symptoms.
Sports Massage
Sports massage focuses on injury prevention and recovery through deep tissue manipulation. It targets muscle tension, enhances circulation, and improves flexibility for athletes and active individuals. Combined with trigger point therapy and myofascial release, this treatment addresses sports injuries, postural imbalances, and repetitive strain injuries.
Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy services provide a safe space to explore emotional and mental health challenges. Using humanistic and integrative approaches, we address anxiety, grief, and relationship issues through empathetic listening and tailored strategies. Sessions aim to rebuild self-awareness, foster resilience, and promote emotional well-being in a confidential environment.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy induces a relaxed state to access subconscious patterns, aiding behavior change and stress reduction. Effective for phobias, confidence issues, and sleep disorders, it empowers clients to overcome mental barriers. Our practitioners use personalized techniques to address root causes, enhancing self-control and promoting positive life transformations.

My partner and I needed an Osteopath for our newborn after a difficult birth. We took our daughter to see Martin Matthews and we noticed the difference with her breathing after her first session.
Martin was nothing short of professional and friendly during our appointments. We would highly recommend Martin to anyone who needs to see a Cranial Osteopath for their child who needs some relief from Reflux and to help align their Diaphragms. Many thanks to you Martin.

My husband and I had a full body massage at this clinic today. I must say Ive been to lots of massage spas in the past, however Joanna and Rebecca has given the best massages so far. Very gutted this clinic is based in Bath (as were from London). This will give us more of a reason to visit Bath! Highly recommend!! Love Lucy & James
