Holistic and Natural Therapies
Our Holistic approach includes a range of complementary therapies to assist your recovery.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems by moving, stretching and massaging a person’s muscles and joints. Osteopathy is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together.
Ian Thornley MOst, BSc. – Osteopath
Following a 20-year career in healthcare, as a pharmacist and a sports massage therapist, Ian chose to enhance his skills and graduated from the
London School of Osteopathy with a Master’s degree. He is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), a legal requirement for
osteopaths in the UK.

Kinesiology
Kinesiology is a natural health care treatment that treats the body as a whole and in the order that it needs treating.
Lisa Robinson – Kinesiologist
I am excited to join HeathTribe and become part of the team, plus working in this amazing environment is so good for the mind, body and soul.
Through gentle muscle testing I can communicate with your body to establish where there is an imbalance and discover what it needs to heal.
I am especially interested in mineral deficiency and how this affects the body, plus hormone and adrenal fatigue and digestive disorders that affect so many
of us every day. Sometimes we are so used to the symptoms, we no longer acknowledge them but failing to address them and not supporting the body will
just manifest into a more serious problem at some point.
This fascinating treatment continually surprises me with how it communicates with the body to learn how it is dealing with structural, chemical, nutritional or
emotional imbalances and what it is asking for. It is like being a body detective!

Sports Massage
Therapeutic Sports Massage is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the whole body including muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments. A combination of deep tissue work, fascial manipulation and other techniques to help identify and speed the repair of minor soft tissue injuries. This type of Therapeutic Sports Massage is applicable not just to sports people but to anybody wishing to guard against or recover from a soft tissue injury, poor posture and related issues.
Alexis Jackson – Sports Massage, Craniosacral Therapy and Pilates Reformer
With an equine background, Alexis has seen and experienced a fair share of aches and pains – from poor posture, wear and tear to injury and strain – which has led to a keen interest in biomechanics and how the body adapts.
As a therapist, Alexis promotes a positive, healing experience by ensuring a relaxing environment and treatment that is centred around her clients and geared towards long lasting results and recovery.
Craniosacral Therapy is a hands-on therapy, where the touch is gentle, non-invasive and usually subtle, with the aim to align fascia and surrounding structures enabling the free flow of the cerebrospinal fluid within the CranioSacral rhythm. It’s normal to feel a sense of deep relaxation during CranioSacral Therapy, which may help other connected parts of your body function better through, self regulation, self correction and self healing.
The Pilates Reformer offers all the benefits of Pilates including overall strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance. These things, in turn, lead to daily life improvements like better posture, graceful and efficient movement, and for many, relief from pain associated with physical imbalances such as back pain.
A wide variety of exercises are done on the reformer to promote length, strength, flexibility, and balance. Most Pilates reformer exercises have to do with pushing or pulling the carriage or holding the carriage steady during an exercise as it is pulled on by the springs.

Reiki
Reiki, pronounced ‘ray-key’, is a complementary healing therapy from Japan. It is a gentle and effective system of healing which activates
the body’s own natural ability to heal itself. As a natural healing system, it can benefit everyone, from young babies to adults and is a safe,
non-invasive treatment.
Treatments with Reiki energy reduce stress within the body, thereby inducing a state of relaxation. The body can then be allowed to begin
the healing process. It is an extremely relaxing experience and the benefits are immediate. All diseases and ailments can be helped with
Reiki and it is safe to use in conjunction with other complementary therapies and conventional medical treatments. Reiki produces a feeling
of total wellbeing and this has an incredibly positive effect on the immune system.
Reiki helps the body to reach an inner state of harmony, physically, mentally, and spiritually. As well as helping many physical ailments, it
can also promote the changing of any negative mental habits, turning these into more positive and productive thought patterns. Once we
begin to think more positively, our lives and our health become more positive too.
