Six Reasons People Have Been Choosing Us for the Last 25 Years
Multi-practitioner & multidisciplinary service
Unlike many physiotherapy and osteopathy clinics, Spine Plus operates as a full multidisciplinary team, supervised by clinical directors Robert Shanks and Darren Chandler, not a single practitioner or single-modality practice.
Osteopaths & Physiotherapists with advanced training
Our practitioners follow structured in-house training that goes well beyond standard undergraduate education, ensuring consistent, high-quality care across all Spine Plus clinics.
Consultant-grade Osteopaths & Physios
Our team includes consultant-level practitioners, several of whom have cared for patients at Spine Plus for more than 10 years, bringing a depth and breadth of experience that's rare in private practice.
Expert hands-on care integrated with advanced technology
We combine expert hands-on therapy with medical-grade technologies, focused shockwave, TECAR, Class IV laser, typically delivered within the same appointment to maximise your therapeutic outcome.
Pioneering treatment for disc problems & sciatica
We are one of the UK's most experienced providers of IDD Therapy, the gold standard in non-surgical spinal decompression, ideal for stubborn disc problems beyond the help of regular Osteopathy or Physiotherapy.
Clear onward pathways if needed
Over two decades we've built a network of trusted surgeons, consultants and radiologists. If we can't help you, we'll likely know someone who can, and we'll make the introduction.
Taken together, this reflects why Spine Plus has been the preferred choice for many thousands of patients over the past 25 years.Read our patient stories →

"I had suffered with sciatica for 18 months and tried two physiotherapists and a chiropractor with no lasting improvement. After a course of IDD Therapy at Spine Plus I was back at the gym within 8 weeks. I only wish I'd found them sooner."
Sarah M., 42
Sciatica & IDD Therapy"My knee surgery recovery had completely stalled after 4 months. The post-operative rehab programme at Spine Plus, combined with Shockwave, got me back on the golf course in 10 weeks. The level of expertise here is exceptional."
James K., 58
Post-Operative Rehab"Three years of chronic neck pain and two NHS referrals that led nowhere. The team at Spine Plus identified the root cause in my first appointment and had a clear treatment plan. Within 6 sessions I felt like myself again."
Linda R., 35
Neck Pain & Osteopathy"Plantar fasciitis had me hobbling for two years. I'd tried orthotics, rest, stretches, nothing worked long-term. Three sessions of Focused Shockwave Therapy and the pain was gone. Genuinely life-changing."
David T., 51
