Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy treats musculoskeletal conditions through manual techniques including joint manipulation and soft tissue therapy. Our registered practitioners address back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries using evidence-based methods. Treatments focus on improving mobility and resolving underlying causes of pain.
Podiatry
Podiatry services cover nail care, corn removal, and treatment for foot conditions like plantar fasciitis. Our HCPC-registered podiatrists provide biomechanical assessments and diabetic foot care. Treatments combine practical care with preventive advice for long-term foot health.
Sports Massage
Sports massage addresses muscle strains and postural pain through deep tissue techniques. Beneficial for both athletes and sedentary individuals, sessions improve circulation and aid recovery from injuries. Treatments target specific problem areas like neck and shoulder tension.
Ear Care
Professional ear care includes micro-suction and irrigation for wax removal. Clinicians follow NICE guidelines using safe, modern techniques. Treatments address hearing difficulties caused by wax blockages while maintaining strict hygiene standards.
Micro-Suction
Micro-suction safely removes ear wax using low-pressure suction equipment. This water-free method suits patients with ear drum perforations. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes with immediate improvement in hearing typically experienced post-treatment.

Questions
Do I need a GP referral for treatment?
No GP referral is required. Most patients self-refer, though we may contact your GP with permission if needed.
What should I wear for treatment?
Wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows movement. Leggings or shorts and a vest top are ideal.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment courses typically require 2-6 sessions depending on condition complexity and individual progress.
Can I claim through private health insurance?
Most insurers cover our services. Contact your provider for authorisation numbers and policy details before treatment.
Is treatment safe during pregnancy?
Osteopathy is safe during pregnancy with treatment modifications, particularly in the first trimester.
Do you offer home visits?
We don't provide home visits as effective treatment requires our specialist equipment and treatment tables.
