Services
Chiropractic
Our chiropractic treatments focus on diagnosing and addressing musculoskeletal disorders through manual adjustments and therapeutic techniques. We specialise in treating back pain, neck pain, and joint issues while improving nervous system function. Patients benefit from reduced pain, increased mobility, and long-term wellness solutions tailored to their specific conditions.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy services combine manual therapy, exercise prescription, and advanced treatments like ultrasound and shockwave therapy. We help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve mobility through evidence-based rehabilitation programs designed for individual recovery goals.
Sports Therapy
Sports therapy focuses on injury prevention, treatment, and performance enhancement for active individuals. Our certified therapists use sports-specific techniques to accelerate recovery from injuries while implementing rehabilitation plans that reduce future injury risks through targeted strengthening exercises.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy services include sports, deep tissue, and rehabilitative treatments performed by specialist therapists. These sessions reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and aid recovery from physical strain while promoting overall relaxation and stress relief through tailored massage techniques.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy utilises high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and joint pain by accelerating tissue repair processes while reducing inflammation and desensitising pain receptors.

Report
Skelian was recommended to me by a friend. I'd been troubled by long standing painful injuries for a number of years. I was just living with the discomfort and pain. It reached a point where it was affecting my daily activities and quality of life. I've been seeing Alex for a while now, and as he works through the various injuries, I can feel (and my wife can see) enormous improvements and I'm doing more of the things I want to do. When you have longstanding issues, I recognise that it's going to take a longer time to resolve - which I'm happy with. Alex is great, he's knowledgeable and approachable

Had a sports massage with Ash yesterday to release 2 weeks of knots and tension in my neck, shoulders and back and I feel like a new person today; Id forgotten what a normal neck feels like! His knowledge is excellent and he made me feel very comfortable. Ill definitely be going again to relieve any future tension or injuries.

Report
Easily the highlight of my week! I've been seeing Ellie for a few months now and look forward to the treatment each time. I've been suffering with my back for a few years, and previous physio treatment hasn't done much for me. As soon as I started with Ellie, my recovery was noticeable in the matter of weeks. I'm now able to do simple tasks that I previously couldn't. Couldn't recommend Ellie or Skein enough, or thank them for what they have done to aid my recovery :)

Report
I had suffered back/neck and head pain for so long that I thought it was just something I had to put up with and that nothing would really help. When someone recommended Skelian to me I decided it was worth a try, although I fully expected it to be weeks before I felt the benefit of any results. However, after my very first consultation with Ellie I already felt a million times better and wish I'd started going years ago. I have been keeping up with my sessions as Ellie recommends and barely get any pain now. Ellie is so lovely and puts you immediately at ease - she very clearly knows her stuff
