McTimoney Chiropractic
McTimoney Chiropractic is a gentle, whole-body treatment focusing on spinal adjustments to improve mobility and reduce pain. Suitable for all ages, it addresses misalignments causing discomfort in the back, neck, and joints. Our practitioners use precise, non-invasive techniques to promote natural healing and long-term wellness.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage targets muscle tension and injuries caused by physical activity or repetitive strain. Our therapists use deep-tissue techniques to enhance recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries. Ideal for athletes and active individuals seeking relief from muscular discomfort.
Epley Manoeuvre
The Epley Manoeuvre is a specialised technique for treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). By repositioning inner ear crystals, it alleviates dizziness and balance issues. Our practitioners perform this safe, effective procedure to provide rapid relief from vertigo symptoms.
Free Assessments
Free spinal assessments determine if chiropractic care can address your specific concerns. During this consultation, we evaluate posture, mobility, and potential misalignments to recommend appropriate treatments. This no-obligation service ensures you receive tailored advice before starting therapy.
Follow-on Treatments
Follow-on Treatments maintain progress after initial sessions, ensuring lasting results. These appointments focus on reinforcing spinal adjustments, managing chronic conditions, and preventing recurring issues. Regular visits support sustained mobility and overall musculoskeletal health.

Louise is amazing, friendly and so welcoming. I've been seeing her for years now and she's honestly got magic hands, pain free and instant relief. The clinic now offers sports massages, had my first one with Carly and that was also incredible! Highly recommend!

Report
Had the Epley Manoeuvre as well as treatment on a very old neck and shoulder injury. This lovely lady has magic hands and the McTimoney method is very well suited to me. She always explains what she is doing and does not suggest unnecessary treatments - her aim is to get you sorted as quickly as possible, and will make you as comfortable as she can during treatment. I feel so much better since visiting Louise.

Cannot rate Louise highly enough. I went in to see her suffering from lower back pain which had also caused pain in my foot, and just one session later the discomfort was significantly reduced, and she also worked on areas of my back that I didn't realise had issues. The treatment is really something; so relaxing and responsive, she has such a way with her work. I've had a second session and the overall improvement in my posture and discomfort is extremely noticeable.
