Services
Musculo-skeletal Therapy
Our musculoskeletal therapy addresses mechanical disorders through palpation, massage, and joint manipulation. We target structural imbalances causing back pain, joint stiffness, and sports injuries by restoring normal tissue function. Treatment sessions focus on muscle stretching, joint mobilization, and postural correction to alleviate acute pain and prevent recurring issues.
Acupuncture
This ancient Chinese practice involves inserting fine needles at specific meridian points to regulate energy flow. We use acupuncture for migraine prevention, chronic pain management, and stress relief by stimulating the body's natural healing processes. Each session includes pulse analysis, tongue diagnosis, and tailored needle placement for optimal therapeutic effect.
Sports Therapy
Specialized sports therapy combines deep tissue massage with injury rehabilitation techniques. We treat muscular strains, sports injuries, and exercise-related pain through targeted manipulation of soft tissues. Sessions include mobility exercises, injury prevention strategies, and recovery support for athletes and active individuals.

I went to see Glenn, to see if he could help me with some night pains that I have been suffering, in my stomach/groin area, for several years now. His 'I think the problem might be in here' was genius!! This man has helped me more than any other doctor I have seen and in a very short time. I am very grateful to have found him. I really recommend him

Wow! I'm incredibly glad Glenn was recommended to me. I've had severe shoulder pain for months and literally in one session I can feel an improvement - increased movement and reduced pain. I'm so very grateful. Glenn is the ultimate professional, friendly, knowledgeable and to the point. A thousand thank you's.

Had one session so far and felt instantly better during the session. I could feel the pressure ease straight away and movement became so much easier so quickly.

Well people it's been 29 years since I last saw Glen. When I first saw him my back was in a bad way. He fixed it, a week later it happened again, fixed it again. Life happened in-between I moved away etc etc but I now live in Northants but have had numerous visits to local osteopaths and I have been told some Questionable things to strip cash from my wallet. Glen doesn't waste your time he knows his stuff . Trust me .
