So, how are you feeling? That’s an important question for all of us at Cleve Chiropractic and Physiotherapy Centre.

It’s the reason we get up in the morning and why we love our jobs – it’s all about you!

We pride ourselves on providing our local community with access to a wide range of healthcare services and professionals who provide exceptional care for a huge variety of conditions. We believe that giving you the option to access healthcare in a convenient way in a setting that is full of highly qualified (and very lovely) people, means that you can get the holistic and comprehensive care you want, in the way you want to access it.

While the clinic’s name tells you that we have a brilliant group of chiropractors and physiotherapists, a crucial part of the way our team works is with a focus on integrating the widest range of healthcare professionals to cover all your needs. We believe in experts doing expert things. This wider team consists of sport rehabilitators and therapists, as well as specialists in acupuncture, foot health, clinical hypnotherapy and nutrition.

By combining their unique and wide-ranging expertise, our professionals provide joined up thinking to best understand a patient\’s condition and develop effective treatment plans that encompass various aspects of their physical health and mental well-being.

This holistic approach ensures that the most appropriate treatments are chosen, tailored to each patient\’s individual needs, all under one roof – you don’t need to visit multiple places for your care. Whether it\’s in healthcare, technology, or any other industry, the value of consulting an expert cannot be overstated.

In this blog, I want to tell you about just some of the extra services we offer – and watch this space for more additions in the near future.

Sports rehabilitation and therapy

Sport rehabilitators help people with pain that involves the musculoskeletal system. They work with people of all ages and backgrounds to maintain their health and fitness, recover from and prevent injury and reduce pain using exercise, movement and manual- based therapeutic interventions.

Treatment incorporates a comprehensive assessment and exercise plan that’s monitored and modified where needed. This could include exercise rehabilitation, massage, taping and even some time on our anti-gravity treadmill.

Acupuncture

Our acupuncturist, Jennie Abraham, uses Traditional Chinese Medicine. From a TCM perspective, pain, discomfort, digestive, sleep and emotional problems occur when our body’s Qi (pronounced Chee) is out of balance.  Acupuncture addresses these imbalances by placing ultra fine needles at specific points on the body where the Qi flows.

In this way, Jennie seeks to understand the root of your condition, which means that your symptoms are treated, along with the underlying causes. The amount of treatments needed depends on the severity and duration of your symptoms – sometimes just one or two are enough but, for longer term conditions, a course will be beneficial.

Foot health

Your feet are the foundation of your body, but they are often overlooked and taken for granted. From helping you walk, run and stand, to supporting your entire body weight, your feet play a vital role in your overall health. So don’t you think it’s time they got the attention and care they deserve? After all, when your feet are healthy and functioning properly, your quality of life and physical well-being are much improved.

Helen Millins specialises in the care and treatment of your feet and can help alleviate pain, improve mobility and prevent future problems from occurring. As a fully qualified and insured foot healthcare practitioner, she provides a bespoke service that identifies your individual needs, treatments and ongoing maintenance for conditions including calluses, corns, thickened nails, cracked heels, diabetic issues and neurovascular assessment.

Clinical hypnotherapy

Our clinical hypnotherapist, Holly Osborne, uses Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH), which combines the use of different parts of psychotherapy, using specialist techniques with hypnosis. Holly will adopt a positive solution-focused process that gets you back in control of your thoughts, feelings and actions. She can effectively help you with, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, confidence, sports performance, phobias and fears, childbirth, weight management and much more.

Nutrition

Our nutritionist, Philippa Parish, believes ‘we aren’t just what we eat: we’re what we digest and absorb into our bodies’ – it’s all about how our body uses nutrition. Being healthy is the best present anyone can give themselves. Achieving optimum nutrition is a different journey for everyone and can change during in our lifetime as we fight infections, recover from injuries, or adjust as we age.

Philippa never encourages fad diets, quick fixes, intense detoxes and the latest ‘superfoods’. The aim is to educate and motivate her clients to work towards their health goals, to understand how and why their new food and lifestyle choices nourish their bodies, increasing vitality and well-being. She can help you to establish a new and positive relationship with your health in a functional way, so that it will become the new normal way of living.

So, as you can see, we’ve got your back – oh yes, don’t forget we look after those, too! Our experts are looking forward to seeing you soon.
