Sports Clinic and Performance Enhancement

Patients who are injured, may already have a diagnosis and therefore may wish to self refer to the most appropriate clinician at The Health Equation. For those patients who do not have a diagnosis an appointment, with one of the Osteopaths, is necessary to make an initial diagnosis, and to discuss the most appropriate type of treatment or rehabilitation.

For more complex problems or for a performance enhancement programme we also offer the following:
