Based in Rainham, we endeavour to provide the highest standards of Osteopathic healthcare to the public across the North Kent region and beyond.
Established in 2000 we have been treating patients for ten years. The Osteopathic approach sees, diagnoses and treats each patient as a unique individual with their own unique requirements for health.
You will find our clinic has a friendly, family atmosphere from the reception desk through to the treatment rooms. Most of our new patients are referred from previous patients recommending us. We often find ourselves treating multiple generations of the same family. We have a stable, experienced and highly skilled team who have helped thousands of people with all kinds of mechanical and muscular pain.
Our team have a wide base of expertise and interests in the application of osteopathy
