At the Complementary Health Centre here in Lee we have multiple experienced osteopaths. As well as treating all the conditions below, they all have their own interests and specialisms.
Osteopathy is a unique system of diagnosis and treatment that focuses on the structural integrity of the whole body.
When the body is correctly aligned, the systems within work more efficiently with the minimum of wear, stress and use of energy, which may reduce pain and disability, and help to bring about a sense of wellbeing.
In addition to the treatment, we aim to help each patient understand his/her problem, appreciate why it has occurred and provide him/her with strategies to speed recovery and help prevent further episodes occurring. These might include exercises, advice on posture, correct breathing, relaxation, positioning at work stations or dietary changes.
Osteopathy is widely recognised for its success in treating patients with low back pain,
but may also be effective for patients with a variety of other symptoms/conditions, such as:
Cranial Osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment to encourage the release of tension in the body. This is accomplished by the application of gentle pressure to the head and body and it is suitable for people of all ages, including babies and children. This approach can also be used when treating joint and back pain resulting from postural changes and softening ligaments associated with pregnancy.
Cranial Osteopathy is a safe and gentle treatment suitable for children and babies. Such gentle manipulation could help soothe and relax babies and is often recommended after birth.
Physiotherapy is a science-based treatment available at the Complementary Health Centre in Hither Green designed to help restore movement and function if you are affected by injury, disability or illness.

Do you feel you’re going round and round in circles?
Are you overwhelmed with how you feel?
Talking things over with an understanding, trained Counsellor, Coach or Psychotherapist will support you to clarify your thoughts and feelings, make decisions and if necessary make major changes in your life. Our aim is to offer you a safe, confidential space and an opportunity to work towards living in a more satisfying way.
There are times when everyone needs space and someone to listen to them objectively, with acceptance and without judgement. Counselling or Psychotherapy provides this. Exploring your feelings, hopes, fears, relationships and choices will support you in coping with the events and issues in your life, and enable you to consider the options available to you.
Counselling or psychotherapy offers you the opportunity to talk, confidentially, to a qualified practitioner who is trained to listen to you carefully and understand and accept you. It offers you a safe place to help you to think more clearly about your difficulties and understand your feelings.
Though it can take courage, a therapy process can be relieving and helpful and enable you to find new tools to manage your life and problems.
Each session lasts 50 minutes and will usually be on the same day and at the same time each week. Counselling is generally a shorter process and psychotherapy generally more in depth for a more substantial time.
Good foot health is something we know is very important and at The Complementary Health Centre we have a long-established podiatry clinic.
Healthy feet are especially important for people with other health problems such as diabetes, poor circulation or rheumatism. These problems can make self-treatment, even cutting your own nails, difficult. You do not need a doctor’s referral to see a podiatrist.
Most people have foot problems at some time in their lives, and many of these can be helped by chiropody / podiatry treatment.
All Chiropody / Podiatry professionals at the Complementary Health Centre are registered
with the Health and Care Professions Council (H.C.P.C.).
