Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy at The Harrison Clinic addresses musculoskeletal issues through hands-on treatment and rehabilitation. Our practitioners diagnose structural imbalances causing pain or mobility issues, employing soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation, and corrective exercises. Patients receive comprehensive care for back pain, sports injuries, and postural problems, with treatment plans focusing on long-term recovery and prevention.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service treats injuries and chronic conditions through targeted exercise programs and manual therapy. Specialists address sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, and workplace strain using evidence-based techniques to restore mobility and strength. Treatment includes posture correction, muscle re-education, and tailored home exercise plans to accelerate healing and prevent recurrence.
Sports Massage
Sports massage combines deep tissue work with stretching techniques to enhance athletic performance and recovery. Therapists target specific muscle groups affected by repetitive strain, improving circulation and reducing injury risk. This service benefits both professional athletes and active individuals seeking to maintain optimal physical condition through regular maintenance sessions.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments follow traditional Chinese medicine principles to address pain and emotional imbalances. Practitioners identify patients' elemental profiles to create personalised treatment plans using fine needle insertion at specific meridian points. This therapy effectively manages chronic pain, stress-related conditions, and women's health issues through holistic energy regulation.
Women's Health
Specialised women's health services support patients through all life stages, including pregnancy and menopause. Practitioners provide prenatal care to alleviate back pain and prepare for childbirth, postnatal rehabilitation for pelvic floor recovery, and tailored treatments for hormonal imbalances. The clinic offers discreet, compassionate care in a comfortable environment with experienced female therapists.
