There are many and varied health issues we can suffer from, on top of this, our responses to these may also be different. It therefore makes sense for a variety of therapies to be available, as different disciplines have different approaches to a presenting issue.
With Osteopathy, Acupuncture, Sports Therapy and Physiotherapy all available under one roof, it not only allows a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare but also access to a wealth of knowledge and expertise. As each patient is an individual, they should be viewed as so with the concept that many different factors can affect how we suffer from illness and injury, as well as how we recover from these. This is considered a holistic approach, with the whole patient being viewed as opposed to their individual parts.
Many of the therapists also offer massage as part of the treatment, which is effective for many conditions such as muscle strains, sports injuries, whiplash, postural issues and has even been shown to help with depression and anxiety. The technique involves manual manipulation of the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body.
Once a patient has been carefully assessed, the most appropriate combination of therapies can be selected by the clinician and adapted as the patient progresses through their treatment. Patient progression is backed by the genuine concerns and skills of the clinician, coupled with patient motivation to return to optimal health, will mean that treatment will be a positive, proactive experience.

Most headache cases can be treated within primary care, with many causes not being too serious. One of the reasons can be due to over altered muscle tension within the neck region, which can refer to the head as well as irritate surrounding nerves. Osteopaths can help headaches by performing soft tissue techniques such as massage within the neck or upper back region, along with mobilizing the joints of these areas.
At Holistic Healthcare Clinics we provide access to a multidisciplinary team of Acupuncturists, Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Sports Therapists/Rehabilitators, as well as access to Musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging and a rehabilitation gym. This means as a patient, you will have a wealth of knowledge and experience aiding in your recovery back to health.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of healthcare in the world and is part of traditional Chinese medicine. It focuses on aiding in the body's flow of energy, or qi, with the use of fine needles so that the human body is in optimal health. Evidence has shown acupuncture is effective for many conditions such as fertility, headaches and chronic pain such as fibromyalgia and low back pain. If felt necessary, the practitioner may also recommend Chinese herbs to work alongside the treatment.
Sports therapists can identify treat and rehabilitate not only sports injuries, but many common muscular injuries. Treatment used can vary from massage, trigger point work and other soft tissue techniques, to electric modalities and taping. Within the NHS, they work alongside physiotherapists to assist in patient recovery.
Massage is used to help with issues in the muscular system that can occur in our daily lives, and not just related to sports. Deep tissue massage, as its name suggests, uses deep sustained pressure to deform the structures below and allow them to lengthen or become inhibited. This is done to help reduce tension within the muscles as well as breaking up scar tissue and aid in blood flow.
With 6 clinic rooms, including a gym, Holistic Healthcare Clinics is ideally suited to help you in your healthcare needs. Each clinic room has hydraulic plinths designed for patient comfort and ease, as well as laminate floors, hand sanitiser and UV light disinfection to maintain high levels of hygeine. With a spacious waiting area and automated check in system, patients can notify their practitioner that they have arrived at the clinic. A number of electronic treatment modalities may also be used by clinicians in order to improve diagnosis as well as speed up recovery.
Using the GE Logiq Ultrasound imaging machine, we are able to assess and diagnose a multitude of musculoskeletal, as well as neurological conditions, including both trauma related and degenerative conditions. These include, muscle strains, ligaments sprains, joint degeneration, cartilage damage and peripheral nerve compression. This allows for a more precise diagnosis and a more accurate treatment plan. Some of the biggest benefits of ultrasound imaging are that it has very minimal side effects and can be performed whilst the problematic area is being moved so we can see what is happening dynamically.
Our treatments allow for patients to receive specific and relevant healthcare based on their conditions and evidence. Acupuncture has been used for centuries for ill health and recovery. Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine based on the principal that structure and function are interrelated. Physiotherapy is a form of manual medicine, which also uses exercise and advice in order to treat injuries, disability as well as illness. Sports therapists treat many sporting injuries, as well as every day injuries that can occur to muscles, joints and ligaments.
