After 20 wonderful years at the heart of Walnut Grove, Sue from reception is officially heading into a well-deserved retirement today! 💐

Sue has been an absolute pillar of our team for two decades - the first friendly face you see and the calm voice on the end of the phone.

Sue is a fountain of Walnut Grove knowledge and was incredibly supportive to Kathryn and Steve when they took over the Clinic back in 2021.

Today is Sue’s final day with us, and we’d love for you to pop in, share a memory, and wish her well as she begins her new full-time job of relaxing! ☕️✨

We wish you the happiest retirement - you’ve more than earned it! 💚

Do you ever wonder if what and how you eat is contributing to frustrating health symptoms?

Digestive issues, migraines, skin complaints, joint pain, fatigue, and poor sleep, to name just a few... they can all be impacted by diet and lifestyle.

Personalised nutrition gets to the root cause of these challenges and resolves them for good with the optimum nutrition for YOU. Find out how your dietary habits may be contributing to your health concerns and gain practical advice on how to change them.

How the Essentials Nutrition Package works:
✅Analysis: You keep a 7-day food diary review and complete a detailed health questionnaire.
✅Consultation: Ruth, our expert Nutritionist will talk you through your own personalised plan of action at Walnut Grove Clinic
✅Education: You receive all the information you need to motivate you to make changes where necessary and understand why.
✅The Plan: Includes practical and prioritised changes for you to work on, including supplements if relevant.
✅Support: Ruth follows up on Zoom/call 6–8 weeks later for 30 minutes to discuss the changes you’ve made, how you are feeling, and any tweaks you may want to make.

Preparing for an Active Holiday? ⛷🏄‍♀️🏇

Recently, Kathryn, owner and osteopath at Walnut Grove Clinic, hit the slopes of Austria for a skiing trip. Despite putting in the work beforehand with kettlebell training, she still found it surprisingly tough on her body.

Skiing (and other active holidays) demand strength, endurance, balance, and mobility. Even when you feel fit, the combination of long days, repetitive movements, and unfamiliar terrain can really challenge your muscles and joints.

If you’re planning a skiing trip or activity-filled getaway, here’s how to prepare:

✅ Build lower body strength - Focus on quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves.
✅ Train for endurance - Your legs need stamina for full days on the slopes.
✅ Work on balance and stability - Single-leg exercises are key.
✅ Don’t skip mobility - Hips, ankles, and thoracic spine mobility make a huge difference.
✅ Recover well - Stretching, hydration, and adequate rest are essential.

Even with great preparation, it’s normal to feel it! The goal isn’t to avoid all soreness, it’s to reduce injury risk and recover faster so you can enjoy your trip.

And yes… the photo you’re looking at is Kathryn mid-holiday, demonstrating that gravity always wins eventually - and some proof she didn't spend the entire trip on her backside! 😆❄

Our Story

The Clinic was established in 1992 by Zara Ford B.Sc (Ost), Lic Ac. Since then it has grown into a multi-disciplinary medical centre of excellence. Zara is on the board of directors at the British School of Osteopathy she also teaches on the sports masters degree course for doctors in Bath. She was one of a group of healthcare professionals who looked after the British Team at both the Sydney and Athens Olympics. She also looked after our athletes at the Manchester Commonwealth Games. Clinic facilities include four treatment rooms and one of the very few Pilates gymnasiums in the west country. It is used by everyone from Olympic Athletes to the man in the street to help the body relearn normal function and enable patients to recuperate from injury much quicker.

We are also one of the very few clinics in the South West to offer Shockwave treatment, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), it is a clinically proven and highly effective treatment for chronic soft tissue injuries.
