Joanna Cheaney, a registered osteopath, opened the practice in November 1989. It has since grown and the practice now has a great team of 9 highly qualified and experienced practitioners. This includes 5 osteopaths and 4 other therapists. The osteopathic team, over the years, have enjoyed helping a huge variety of patients including babies; growing children with sprains/strains or developmental problems; adults with spinal or peripheral joint problems as a result of poor posture, stress or changing demands of pregnancy/occupation or hobbies and elderly patients with problems linked with arthritic, rheumatic or joint pain. Osteopathic treatment times are 45 minutes and this allows plenty of time for osteopathic work as well as advice on posture, exercise and stress management. The other practitioners provide various treatment options for the many physical and emotional problems people come up against throughout their lives.
