Therapies
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in the relief of pain, healing and rehabilitation following muscle, joint, tendon and ligament injury or surgery. A Chartered Physiotherapist is an expert in the examination of movement and posture. This involves the assessment and treatment of a wide range of conditions including neck and back pain, sports injuries and "Occupational (i.e.work related) Health" problems. Treatment may include manual therapy, electrotherapy eg ultrasound therapy, stretching and strengthening exercises.
Osteopathy is a manual system of medicine, concentrating on the muscles bones and joints (though many osteopaths - including our own - will attempt to help problems such as IBS, asthma, Menstrual Disorders and others). The profession is regulated by the General Osteopathic Council and it is a criminal offence to describe oneself as an osteopath unless registered with this body.
Massage is an ancient art, which has a great deal of science behind it. It involves various techniques to relax muscle, improve circulation, and stimulate well-being. Our therapists are all registered and insured with professional bodies.
On-site massage is generally practised in an occupational setting and permits the patient to remain fully clothed and yet still benefit from massage; this is performed on a "chair" designed to facilitate relaxation.
Health Optimisation
Personal Training
Personal Training can benefit most people as it
- helps motivate you to reach your goals
- gives you direction in your training
- keeps workouts fresh, by stopping repetition and making training fun
- helps you look and feel better
Personal Training is performed in our private Studio at 14 Stafford Street, managed by our Director of Exercise Oliver Jessop. Using the latest equipment and exercise techniques, we coach you to reach your goals. We specialise in weight loss, postural correction, and rehabilitation, in order to help you live a longer, more active life. You can work in a conventional way with one of our Personal Trainers, or subscribe to our the max plan programme which is a “leading edge” health assessment and well-being programme.
Training in the comfort of a private studio gives you the individual attention and use of all equipment to help you work towards a manageable target. Your first session is based upon fitness testing and goal setting. By the use of our bespoke system, a plan of how to meet these targets is created, and your personal programme of exercises to fit in with your schedule is created. All of our fitness progarmmes can be viewed as PDF’s on iphones and blackberry’s. Even though you have your own programme, we are always here to provide support and back-up should you have any questions.
During personal training sessions we work on very specific aspects of training using dumbbells and benches, core stability balls and vibration technology supplied by Vibrogym. We can aim for weight loss, postural correction, anti-cellulite workouts, sports-specific workouts, or any combination of these.
Today’s hectic lifestyles mean many people (e.g. Mums, business people) struggle to get to the gym, so we write a workout for you to do in your workplace or home. The only piece of equipment you may need is a chair. This gives you the great benefit of training in your office or home for a short period of time, a few times a week, to maximise your health - allowing you to live an active life.

Hypnotherapy/NLP/Biofeedback Blog
Sheila Ross specialises in promoting health through hypnotherapy, biofeedback and nutrition. Working with mind-body feedback, using the mind to calm the body and the body to calm the mind can revolutionise the way we think and feel. This can unlock your inner potential, release your fears and realise your ambitions. You will be amazed.
Hypnotherapy is one of the most rapid psychotherapies available. Using a combination of Hypnosis, Neurolingusitic Programming (NLP), relaxation and visualisation, Hypnotherapy seeks to unlock the healing power of the unconscious mind to restore harmony both physically and mentally.
Hypnosis is an altered mental state of profound relaxation during which we become inwardly focused on the solution to any problem. It is a safe, natural state. Images from stage hypnosis, for example of people behaving like chickens, not knowing what they are doing, do not happen in clinical hypnotherapy. You will always be in control and will only do what you want to do.
NLP (Neurolingusitic Programming) is about utilising language patterns designed to match how the brain works and so bring about rapid change. It quickly accesses and resolves the essence and the root cause of your problem.
Nutrition optimises the overall health of your mind and body. A nutritional consultation can help you understand your eating habits and pinpoint the changes you need to make for total body health. Are you tired, listless, no energy? It could be your diet that is making you feel like this. Eat your way to feeling great and being your natural weight too.
