The clinic will be closed from Monday 1st June to Friday 12th June. There are still appointments available until 29th May.
If you wish to book in for a massage rather than Osteopathy you can now do so. Please see the appointments page for details. Please book in online in the usual way.

Testimonials
I highly recommend Jenny, who has helped with my both lower and upper back pain issues on two separate occasions over the past 2 years. I always walk out feeling so much better. Jenny also gave me stretches and movements to strengthen the problem areas, which I now do daily at home. The space is very clean and covid safe as well. Thank you Jenny!

have been seeing Jenny for a few weeks. and after 6 months of pointless physiotherapy i am now 99% better. she takes time to get to know your symptoms and treats you accordingly. i feel so much better. the whole treatment process has been 5*.
i highly recommend using the heath osteopathic practice
Jenny is kind and caring. I ended up going for further treatment on my knee after my shoulder "work"
the exercise sheets are a godsend too as can continue treating yourself at home to keep the issue's from returning.

I recently had a recurrence of the sciatic pain after a particularly grueling drive in heavy traffic on the M1. In very heavy traffic I was forced to keep my legs in one position - hovering over the accelerator - for several hours and for the next few days suffered for it. I realised that the previous bout also came after a long drive up to Norfolk.
I thought of calling you but in fact the exercises you gave me solved it - thus doing you out of a job I'm afraid!
