He takes a thorough, whole-person approach, looking not only at the area of pain, but also at movement patterns, posture, lifestyle, stress, exercise habits and the demands of everyday life.
His treatments may include chiropractic care, soft tissue work, movement and rehabilitation advice, postural guidance and simple strategies patients can use between appointments. Craig’s aim is to help people understand their bodies better, recover more effectively, and make practical changes that support long-term health rather than simply chasing short-term relief.
With over 25 years’ experience in health, movement, meditation, coaching and personal development, Craig brings a calm, compassionate and deeply attentive presence to his work. He is especially interested in the way physical pain and tension can be influenced by stress, the nervous system, breathing, posture and lifestyle.

Vicki- Craniosacral Therapist

She became increasingly interested in how the body holds and responds to stress, trauma, and everyday tension—not just physically, but emotionally too.
This led her to train in Craniosacral Therapy, a gentle yet powerful approach that helps support the body’s own healing processes. She qualified as a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist in July 2012, after training with some of the UK's leading practitioners. Their knowledge and expertise has shaped the way she works today.
She is a qualified teacher, she has an enhanced DBR and is a certified First Aider.
