McTimoney Chiropractic
Today, chiropractic is one of the largest primary healthcare professions in the western world. It is an independent branch of medicine specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of biomechanical, muscle and nerve dysfunction. Through subtle adjustments chiropractic treatment may help relieve pain and discomfort, increase mobility and help provide a route to better health.
The McTimoney approach to chiropractic is based on a whole body assessment of the individual, including their general wellbeing and quality of life.
The initial appointment will take around 90 minutes so that a detailed history can be taken, followed by testing, resulting in a working diagnosis and treatment plan, followed by an initial treatment. Subsequent appointments take around 40 minutes. These appointments are not rushed so they allow time for advice on rehabilitation and preventative measures following treatment. Patients are encouraged to ask questions at all stages so that they can participate fully in their recuperation.
Chiropractic treatment at the clinic is available under BUPA and most other major health insurance schemes.
Initial consultation and treatment (approx 90 mins) - £57
Subsequent appointments (approx 40 mins) - £38
Sports Therapy
This includes the examination and assessment of sports injuries and general soft tissue injuries, planning and implementing appropriate treatment regimes for the patient, soft tissue massage and manipulation, rehabilitation and electrotherapy. But don’t think you need to be an athlete to see a sports therapist - their services are applicable to anyone with an injury or requiring rehabilitation.
Injuries can occur in any physical activity, recovery can be painful and slow without the right help. A sports therapist can help recent injuries heal faster and manage and rehabilitate long term injuries properly to reduce the likelihood of further damage or reoccurrence.
Initial consultation and treatment (30 mins) - £35
Subsequent appointments (30 mins) - £30
Bowen Technique
Simply stated, the Bowen Technique resets the body to heal itself. The work consists of a series of gently rolling connective tissue moves, using a light touch and may be done through clothing. There are frequent important pauses between these moves, which give the body time to benefit from each set. A unique tool of the Bowen practitioner is "tissue tension sense," meaning the practitioner is able to discern stress buildup in muscle groups and then utilize Bowen moves to release that stress. For more information on the Bowen Technique, please visit www.bter.org.
Initial consultation and treatment (approx 60 mins) - £45
Subsequent appointments (45 mins) - £40
Deep Tissue, Sports and Remedial Massage
Sports and remedial massage covers the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of the soft tissues of the body (muscles, ligaments and tendons) using a range of techniques such as deep tissue massage, stretching techniques and rehabilitation exercises. It is tailored to each individual’s needs, whether it is for stress management, pain relief or to positively enhance their ability to perform. You do not have to be a sports person to reap the benefits of sports and remedial massage. Whether you are suffering form stress, neck and shoulder pain, back pain, postural imbalances, a soft tissue injury or a sports injury that is affecting your performance massage therapy can help you. Benefits of sports and remedial massage include: • Reduce stress and improve sense of wellbeing • Improve circulation and lymphatic flow • Prevent injuries and loss of mobility • Restore mobility to injured muscle tissue • Shorten recovery time between workouts • Relieve stiffness, aches and pains and all over fatigue

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
MLD is a healthy, natural and pain free way to help your body remove excess fluid, toxins and waste. It is an advanced form of massage treatment that is deeply relaxing (by calming the autonomic nervous system). All the work is done with dry hands, no oils, talc or machines are used. The rhythmical pumping technique works on increasing lymph flow and not arterial blood flow as many other massage techniques do. With repeated sessions of MLD your body will pump the lymph fluid more effectively.
MLD plays an important part in the treatment & management of Lymphoedema (both Primary and Secondary) and truncal oedema.

Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine is the use of plant remedies in the treatment of disease. It is the oldest known form of medicine. Herbal Medicine treats the underlying cause, rather than just the symptoms alone, restoring the balance of the body and thus enabling it to heal itself. Medical herbalists diagnose as well as prescribe, taking a holistic approach to the treatment. This means that we are an alternative and not just complementary to modern medicine. Herbal medicine may be used to treat a range of conditions including: - Skin conditions
- Digestive disorders
- Gynaecological disorders
- Problems involving the heart such as angina, varicose veins etc
- Immune system deficiencies
- Musculoskeletal diseases
Herbal Medicine is suitable for pregnant women and children. There are no side-effects with herbal medicine. More then ever before we recognise the importance of looking at all the client’s circumstances not simply the individual symptoms. Herbs are prescribed in a variety of forms, including tinctures, infusions, capsules etc. and each prescription is unique to the individual. In a consultation, an assessment of the physiology and constitution of each person is carried out, including a physical examination if required, leading to a tailored selection of herbs that are most appropriate for the individual. There maybe two or three follow up consultations depending on the individuals’ conditions and their progress, and the herbal prescriptions maybe altered accordingly.
Initial consultation - £45
Subsequent appointments - £30
Medicines approximately £5 per week
Nutritional Therapy
Nutrition is your passport to health. It is the defining factor in whether your health and fitness regime gives you the results you desire. Real nutrition goes beyond 'you are what you eat'. Real nutrition covers not just intake but also what is absorbed and used by the body. It also covers the amount you eat and the times your eat.
With this in mind, Marek can advise you on tailoring food intake for fat loss or muscle gain, overcoming or managing metabolic disorders, rebalancing hormones and vitamin therapy.
2 day diet plan - £60
Health and wellness consultation - £40
Allergy Testing
Are you always tired? Are you struggling to lose weight? Is what you eat making you ill?
Allery and intolerance are often the last port of call for many patients whose symptoms cannot be explained, treated or understood by conventional medicine. Food intolerance is regularly a hidden obstacle for patients looking to lose weight, and treatment habitually achieves spectacular results.
Setting new standards in effective testing, Marek uses two methods of diagnosis in a single test (blood sample and muscle test), then can advise you as to waht steps to take to quickly eliminate symptoms and, most importantly, address the root cause of the problem.
Comprehensive allergy test - £115
