Physiotherapy and Chiropractic

Our patients consult us on everything from a niggle in the neck to complex sports injuries and post operative rehabilitation.

Our techniques are underpinned by evidence-based practice and backed by robust clinical reasoning. We are thorough as a matter of course, and will address everything that needs treating to resolve the problem. We do not over treat or treat unnecessarily: we find it, fix it then leave it alone.

We alleviate pain rapidly, treating the cause for long-lasting relief so that normal activities can be resumed as quickly and as safely as possible. We successfully treat complex and chronic conditions, many of which have been unsuccessfully treated elsewhere. Please click on the link to read Octopus Clinic testimonials.

• Diagnose the structures causing the pain and the process that has caused the problem.
• Use hands on techniques such as joint manipulations and specific massage techniques to mobilise stiff joints and release tight soft tissues.
• Correct static postures and retrain movement patterns to treat the biomechanical cause of the problem, enable healing and prevent recurrence.
• Give strengthening exercises including endurance, plyometrics and power.
• Provide advice on training, diet, lifestyle and fitness to enable recovery and optimum performance.
• Refer on for scans and to Orthopaedic Consultants, Podiatrists, Sports Doctors and Neurosurgeons.

Chiropractic treatment focuses on safe, precise spinal adjustments to restore proper movement in the spine and other areas of the body. Misaligned or restricted joints can disrupt functionality, potentially leading to nerve interference. By improving spinal movement and nervous system health, chiropractic care helps your body heal naturally, boosting overall well-being and vitality.

In addition to hands-on adjustments, our chiropractors use a range of techniques such as ice/heat therapy, Cox® Flexion-Distraction, and ART® (Active Release Techniques). We also provide tailored exercise plans and offer expert advice on posture and lifestyle to support your recovery and overall health.

At Octopus Clinic we benefit from each others’ differences by challenging each other and learning from each other so that you know you are getting the very best treatment.
