Natural Health Clinic, 15 North Parade, Frome BA11 1AU

I have been a McTimoney chiropractor and craniosacral therapist for over 20 years. The McTimoney method of chiropractic includes very swift light hand movements on individual bones. Craniosacral therapy uses a slow light touch. Both techniques initiate change, and are gentle, pleasant to receive, and suitable for all ages and levels of health.

A free 15 minutes spine check includes a hands-on assessment of the spine and pelvis. If individual vertebrae are even slightly out of balance, they can affect the nerves that come out from the spine. Nerves send messages to all parts of the body. Compromising them can cause pain, stiffness, weakness, and may also affect the internal organs and general health.

A full hour’s session includes a case history, explanation of the techniques, a spine check, plus a treatment. We treat back pain and many other conditions. Symptoms reduce as the body returns to balance. An occasional ‘service’ treatment is recommended to maintain and improve health. Babies and pregnant women also benefit from a wellness check, as well as responding quickly for specific conditions.
