The Practice at Ferndown

The Practice at Ferndown treats lower back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, knee problems, headaches, frozen shoulder, arthritic pain and sciatica. Care is provided through osteopathy, cranial osteopathy, deep tissue massage and pregnancy massage, with acupuncture also listed among the practice's services.

The osteopathy team uses structural and cranial techniques and works with patients of all ages, including babies and children. The practice has a children's clinic and offers osteopathic care for pregnancy, including pre and post natal women.

The GPs are not listed, but the osteopaths' clinical interests and backgrounds include sport-related problems, sports science, musculoskeletal pain, chronic pain, headaches, care of older people, rheumatology, orthopaedics and general practice medicine. This gives the practice a broad musculoskeletal focus rather than care limited to back pain.

Massage services include deep tissue massage, sports massage and pregnancy massage. The massage therapist works alongside the osteopaths, so massage may sit within a wider plan of hands-on care where appropriate.

The practice offers flexible appointment times six days a week, concessionary fees and cover through all major insurance companies. Parking is available on site.
