Osteopathy & Cranial Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body and is based on the principle that the physical well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together. Treatment is direct and results are usually experienced quickly.
Osteopath's work with the structure and function of the body to restore a state of equilibrium and balance. Osteopaths use manipulation, stretching and soft tissue mobilisation to increase joint range of motion and stability, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood supply and stimulate nerve function. They also provide advice on posture and prescribe rehabilitation programs to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.
Cranial osteopathy is a natural approach to healthcare for all life’s stages. It recognises the importance of the subtle mechanics at work in the head and their profound influence on the health of the whole body.
The treatment is very gentle and effective, making this technique suitable for particularly sensitive patients. Cranial osteopathy is available for all adults at The Harrison Clinic.

Acupuncture
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element Acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healing system practiced for thousands of years. It views the body as an interconnected system, emphasising balance between Yin and Yang, the flow of Qi (vital energy), and the health of the Zang-Fu organs. TCM treatments include acupuncture, moxa, cupping, gua sha, and dietary therapy to restore harmony and promote healing.
Five-element acupuncture is a branch of TCM that focuses on the natural elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) and their influence on physical and emotional well-being. It seeks to treat the root cause of imbalance by identifying a person’s primary element and supporting their overall energetic health.
What Can It Treat?
TCM and Five Element Acupuncture can help with a wide range of conditions, including:
Pain relief (chronic pain, headaches, back pain, arthritis)
Digestive disorders (IBS, bloating, acid reflux)
Stress, anxiety, and emotional imbalances
Sleep issues and fatigue
Women’s health (menstrual irregularities, menopause, fertility support)
Immune system support (allergies, autoimmune conditions)
By addressing both the physical symptoms and the underlying causes, acupuncture helps to restore balance, promote self-healing, and enhance overall well-being.
