Services
Osteopathy
Our classical osteopathy treatments address musculoskeletal issues through hands-on techniques. Peter Martin, qualified at the John Wernham School, employs articulation and manipulation methods to restore body harmony. This whole-body approach treats postural problems, joint pain, and chronic conditions through tailored sessions lasting approximately 45 minutes.
Intolerance Testing
The Asyra Pro system provides comprehensive intolerance testing using electro-dermal screening technology. This non-invasive method identifies sensitivities to 500+ substances including foods, environmental allergens, and chemicals. Testing sessions include detailed reports and dietary recommendations, with particular suitability for managing allergies and chronic conditions like IBS and eczema.
Homeopathy
Anna Lethby provides traditional homeopathic treatments for physical and emotional conditions. This system uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. Consultations consider individual symptoms and constitutional factors, making it suitable for treating stress, hormonal imbalances, and chronic illnesses while complementing conventional medical treatments.
Classical Osteopathy
Specialist structural osteopathy focuses on biomechanical balance through precise manual techniques. This approach addresses restricted movement patterns affecting joints, muscles, and connective tissues. Treatment plans integrate lifestyle advice and corrective exercises, with particular effectiveness for back pain, sports injuries, and postural disorders affecting patients of all ages.
Asyra Screening
The Asyra Pro system offers advanced functional health screening beyond standard intolerance testing. This technology assesses nutritional status, hormone levels, and organ function through bioelectrical measurements. The 60-minute assessment generates personalized reports identifying imbalances impacting energy levels, digestion, and immune function, forming the basis for targeted wellness strategies.

Pete has been my goto Osteopath for over a decade. He has always managed to fix my ailments and make me smile at the same time. He has an ability that is hard to describe, how does he manage to fix the problems that no other person can? Somehow he knows what will fix me and is always helpful. I don't live near his practise but still he is my chosen Osteo, I trust him to fix me and you should to. My only regret is that I don't live nearer to him.

Only 8 reviews? How is that possible?
Pete is indeed a miracle worker. He sees what is wrong and fixes it then and there. (No time wasting, no massage and then send you home to do stretches) he is very honest and kind. My first visit was great, nice family run practice. His wife is at reception and is lovely too
You will be in good hands. I 100% recommend.

The man is a miracle worker! I haven't had to go for around 12 years and felt so welcome and comfortable going back! Felt so wonky for so long feeling straight as an ironing board now! Thanks Peter and Angela!

The best Osteopath I've been treated by. I have had two new hips at the age of 30. The operation went well but I've had a lot of pain and discomfort for about a year afterwards. I was told I would possibly need more surgery if the pain persisted. A friend of mine recommend Peter Martin. The practice is family run business. Peter was very friendly, warm and welcoming. I've now had 3 treatments with Peter, the pain and discomfort has eased considerably and I've been told by the doctor that I won't need surgery. Peter really has been fantastic. I would recommend anyone to Peter Martin.
