Whether it came on suddenly or has been nagging for years, your first visit gets to the bottom of it: a full case history, orthopaedic and neurological tests and, only if it’s needed, an X-ray on site.

YasmineA stiff, sore neck and headaches that start in the neck often go hand in hand. We’ll look at how your neck moves, your posture and the everyday habits behind it, from your desk set-up to how you sleep. We also help with migraine prevention, alongside the care your GP provides.
SaraMarkYasmineShoulder pain, rotator cuff problems and elbow pain that’s linked to your neck or upper back. We’ll assess the shoulder itself and the neck and spine that support it, then explain clearly what’s going on.
SaraMarkYasmineTightness between the shoulder blades often builds over long days at a desk, behind the wheel or lifting little ones. We’ll find out what’s driving it and how to ease the load.

MathewPain that travels down the leg, known as sciatica, can start in the lower back. Hip and knee pain can come from the joint itself or from the way you move. We’ll examine your back, pelvis and legs together and explain what we find. For hip or knee arthritis, our care works alongside the exercise and treatment your GP recommends.
SaraMarkYasmineOur 3D foot scanner maps every contour of your feet, so custom orthotics can be made to support the way you stand, walk and run. We also help with the short-term management of ankle sprains and plantar fasciitis.
SaraYasmineSports, deep tissue and Swedish massage in 30 or 60 minute sessions, alongside your spinal care or on its own. Minor sports injuries, muscle spasms, cramp and everyday tension are all things we help with.
Mathew, Sports Massage TherapistA gentle, relaxing massage from 12 weeks of pregnancy, lying on your side with cushions for comfort and support. It’s designed to ease everyday aches in the back, hips and legs and help you unwind.
Our Massage TeamThat’s exactly what the free spinal screening is for. Spend 10 minutes with a chiropractor or osteomyologist, talk through what’s going on and get an honest view on whether we can help. If we can’t, we’ll point you to someone who can.
Everyone is different, so we only recommend care after a full assessment, and we’ll refer you elsewhere if that’s the right call.
Our Promise
Nobody should be talked into a care plan they don’t need. If your assessment shows a problem that’s better looked after elsewhere, we’ll tell you straight away and point you to your GP or the right specialist. That’s how we’ve worked since 2007.
“I love seeing people in pain get better and reach their health goals.”Sara, Doctor of Chiropractic and Co-Founder
Your first visit starts with your story: what hurts, when it started and what it’s stopping you doing.
Orthopaedic and neurological tests from top to toe, with digital X-ray on site only if it’s genuinely needed.
A full report of findings before any treatment begins, so you know what we found, what we suggest and why.
Treatments
Chiropractors, an osteomyologist and a sports massage therapist work side by side here, so your care can combine the treatments that suit you, in one familiar place.
Our Doctors of Chiropractic free up stiff joints in the spine and body, choosing from Diversified, Thompson and SOT techniques to suit you. Both are registered with the General Chiropractic Council.
With Sara and Mark
Osteomyology with the Activator Method. A hand-held instrument delivers a quick, precise impulse, so you stay still, with no twisting or turning. A good fit if you’re nervous about traditional adjustments.
With Yasmine
In 30 or 60 minute sessions, working on the muscles that support your spine, either alongside your spinal care or on its own.
With Mathew
A 3D scan captures every contour of your feet, so custom orthotics can be made to support the way you stand, walk and run.
Learn About Foot ScanningOnly when it’s needed: to rule out anything serious, see your spine clearly and plan care safely, without a trip to another clinic. X-rays are chargeable and always explained first.
Practitioners elsewhere can refer patients to us for X-rays with a consultant radiologist’s report.

Your First Visit
Plenty of people walk in unsure what to expect. Our front of house team will put you at ease from the moment you arrive, hot drink included.
Book a free 10-minute spinal screening or request a free phone consultation to find out whether we’re the right people to help.
A full case history, then orthopaedic and neurological tests from top to toe. If an X-ray would help, we can take it on site (chargeable). Allow an hour in all, and arrive 10 minutes early.
We explain what we found, what we recommend and why, so you can decide with all the facts. Treatment can usually begin at this visit.
Each session builds on the last, with exercises and advice to keep you progressing between visits, at appointment times that fit around you.
Every plan is tailored to you, but it always works towards the same three goals.
First, we work to settle things down and get you moving more comfortably.
Then we tackle what caused the problem, with treatment, exercises and advice to rebuild strength and mobility.
Once you’re feeling better, you can choose regular check-ups to help you stay on track.

FAQs
Adjustments by a qualified practitioner aren’t usually painful. If your muscles are in spasm you may feel some discomfort, and it’s normal to feel a little sore for 24 to 48 hours afterwards, a bit like after exercise you’re not used to. Your practitioner will always tell you what to expect.
When the surfaces of a joint move apart quickly, the pressure inside changes and a small bubble of gas can release with a pop. It isn’t painful and doesn’t always happen. If you’d rather avoid it, ask about osteomyology with the low-force Activator instrument.
No, you can book directly with us. Some GPs can arrange treatment on the NHS, and some insurers want a GP or consultant referral before they’ll pay, so check your policy first.
Yes. We work with insurers including Simplyhealth (HSA), Standard Life and Aviva. You pay us directly, then claim back using our receipts. Tell us when you book, as not every practitioner is registered with every insurer.
Around 45 minutes with your practitioner, plus a few minutes with our front of house team, so allow about an hour. Please arrive 10 minutes early. Follow-up treatments are usually around 10 minutes.
Yes. We see people of every age, from newborn babies to our oldest client, who is nearly 100. Every plan is tailored to the person in front of us.
No. After your report of findings you’ll get a clear recommendation, and the choice is always yours. Our Ultimate Wellbeing Community membership has no contract or tie-in either.
Every plan is tailored, so we’ll talk you through costs before any treatment starts. Call 01502 517070 for our current new client price and promotions, or save £10 by booking your first visit online.
