We’re thrilled to announce that Becci (our healing Holistic Therapist) is now fully qualified in Lymphatic Drainage Massage ✨

Unlike other types of massage, lymphatic drainage uses gentle, rhythmic pressure and soft pumping movements to encourage the natural flow of lymph towards the lymph nodes -helping your body detoxify, refresh, and rebalance from within 🧘

This treatment can help with:
✅Tiredness or low energy
✅Puffiness, bloating & water retention
✅Swollen joints or cellulite
✅Spotty or problem skin
✅Migraines & high blood pressure
✅Stress and general sluggishness

It’s especially beneficial for those who regularly catch colds or have low immunity, lead a sedentary lifestyle and want to improve skin tone, circulation, or overall wellbeing.

Great advice from Steve, our Osteopath and Director, for those who sit at desks for long periods of time👌

In today's world, many of us spend a significant amount of time sitting at a desk in an office or home environment. However, prolonged sitting can have a negative impact on our posture and overall health. This is where the importance of ergonomics comes into play. Steve Harper from Walnut Grove Clinic offers advice in this month's Enjoy Portishead.
Read about this and much more in the November issue of Enjoy Portishead. It’s available free from the usual outlets and also online at

When most people hear the term ADHD, a particular image tends to come to mind: a young boy who can’t sit still, constantly fidgeting, getting up from his chair, blurting out answers, or bouncing between tasks. This stereotype is deeply rooted in how we talk about ADHD, how it is diagnosed, and eve...

If you’re spending more time indoors (hello winter 👋), your body might not be getting enough vitamin D. This ‘sunshine vitamin’ supports your bones, immune system and mood.

Anthony, one of our awesome Osteopath’s recommends a simple vitamin D supplement that can help keep your levels steady, especially when sunlight is scarce ⛅️

He also recommends taking with food as absorption is significantly increased.

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.
