OSTEOPATHY/CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUES
Osteopathy focuses on the body as a whole, moving, stretching, and massaging muscles and joints to restore balance and function. Even areas not directly linked to your injury may be treated, since bones, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue all work together for overall wellbeing.
Your therapist may use manipulation, massage, stretching, and acupuncture to improve circulation, activate nerves, release tension, and mobilise joints, supporting the body’s natural healing process.
You may feel mild soreness for 24–72 hours after treatment. Home care such as heat, ice, or prescribed exercises may also be recommended to speed recovery and prevent symptoms from returning.
At present, we do not have a permanent osteopath on site, but our therapists are trained in osteopathic and chiropractic techniques to complement your sessions.
Your first visit will include a full case history and assessment of posture, movement, and lifestyle. If no urgent medical issues are found, your therapist will create a tailored treatment plan to address the root cause and restore natural equilibrium.

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
OVERVIEW
Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (r-ESWT) is an evidence-based treatment that involves passing low energy pressure waves into damaged tissues to increase blood flow and stimulate repair whilst reducing pain and allowing your body to restart its own natural healing process.
WHAT ARE RADIAL SHOCKWAVES?
Shockwave therapy has been used since the 1980’s for the non-surgical treatment of kidney stones, fast forward 40 years and its now used to treat many areas of the body. Radial shockwaves are low energy pressure waves that are delivered into damaged tissues such as tendons and muscle, this increases blood flow, has an analgesic effect and stimulates the body’s natural repair and regeneration processes.

Sports Massage
EXPLORE
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports and remedial massage isn’t just for athletes, it benefits everyone, from office workers to new mums.
Using techniques such as massage, acupuncture, and tapping, our therapists target common problem areas like the back, neck, shoulders, and legs. This helps relieve pain, speed recovery from injury or workouts, and ease the effects of poor posture or repetitive movements.
Massage improves circulation, breaks down scar tissue, and restores flexibility. Some treatments may feel intense, but your therapist will always work within your comfort level.
Mild soreness for 24–72 hours after treatment is normal. If you have any concerns, we encourage you to get in touch.
Medical Acupuncture
EXPLORE
MEDICAL ACCUPUNCTURE
Medical acupuncture stimulates nerves in the skin and muscles to relieve pain and ease symptoms of various conditions. It works by triggering the release of endorphins and serotonin, your body’s natural painkillers, often leaving you with an improved sense of wellbeing.
During treatment, you may feel a brief muscle twitch or a sense of heaviness around the needle. Both are normal responses and show that the needle is correctly placed. These sensations usually fade soon after the session.
Acupuncture is safe, effective, and often used alongside other therapies to enhance recovery and relieve discomfort.

Cupping
EXPLORE
CUPPING
WHAT IS CUPPING?
Cupping is a traditional therapy that uses suction to improve blood flow and support healing. Cups are placed on the skin using heat or a suction pump, drawing the skin and muscle upward. This increase in circulation may help reduce pain, tension, and inflammation.
WHAT TO EXPECT
-
Cups are typically left in place for 5–10 minutes (dry cupping).
-
In some cases, a small incision is made before cupping to draw out blood (wet cupping).
-
You may notice redness or mild bruising where cups were applied, this is normal and usually fades within 10 days.
Cupping may be combined with acupuncture or other therapies. For best results, we recommend eating lightly or fasting for 2–3 hours before your session.
