Penn Clinic

Penn Clinic The Penn Clinic in Hatfield was established in 1979 by internationally known Osteopath Caroline Penn Welcome to The Penn Clinic.

We are a long standing multidisciplinary clinic providing unique treatment plans designed by a team of highly qualified practitioners. ​The clinic was established over 41 years ago in 1979 by the clinic founder Caroline Penn. The directorship was passed to Alex Bidlake-Corser in 2017 who has been running the clinic since then. Caroline has now retired and the clinic will continue to be owned and run by Alex and the team. Our aim at The Penn Clinic is not only to treat, restore and improve but to also get to the root of why the problem is happening in the first place to stop a repeat problem recurring. We look at the individual’s overall lifestyle from exercise, nutrition to general health and wellbeing to get to the root of the issue. We offer a multidisciplinary service and are much more than just ‘manual therapy’.

Alex and the team of practitioners are active in both research and lecturing. Some of the team write for medical journals so are at the forefront of the latest developments in science and medicine.​ Looking at the individual person with both a science and holistic view is our approach to providing a unique treatment plan for the road to recovery. If you are looking for an osteopath or osteopathy in Hatfield or Hertfordshire, call us to discuss your symptoms in confidence on 01707 274148.
