Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy treatments use hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal disorders. We address issues with muscles, joints, and connective tissues through soft tissue manipulation and joint mobilisation. Patients benefit from improved mobility, pain relief, and enhanced overall function through our holistic approach.
Acupuncture
This traditional Chinese medicine technique involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate healing. We use acupuncture to treat chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions. Patients experience reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and natural pain relief through this evidence-based practice.
Headache Treatment
Specialist care for tension headaches and medication overuse headaches combines manual therapy with lifestyle modifications. We identify triggers through comprehensive assessments and develop personalised treatment plans. Patients learn self-management techniques while receiving targeted interventions for lasting relief.
Migraine Management
Our migraine programme addresses genetic and environmental factors through cranial osteopathy and Watson technique. We provide education on trigger avoidance and nutritional support alongside manual treatments. Patients receive structured care plans to reduce attack frequency and severity.
Back Pain Relief
Comprehensive assessment and treatment of disc, muscle, and joint-related back pain using osteopathic techniques. We incorporate postural correction and exercise rehabilitation into care plans. Patients benefit from targeted interventions addressing both symptoms and underlying biomechanical issues.

Report
I have been going to this practice for about 17 years and they have got me though many different types of problems from migranes, back problems etc. I would recommend either Liz and Sean, as they listen to your symptoms and work to solve the problems.
