We're a small friendly chiropractic clinic in Shaftesbury, Dorset. We specialise in helping people enjoy their physical health to the full. We offer a range of treatments including different chiropractic techniques and deep tissue or sports massage. Vanessa became a chiropractor after experiencing the benefits of treatment following the birth of her children.
Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves, especially related to the spine. Chiropractic treatment mainly involves safe, often gentle, specific spinal manipulation to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly.
Our aim is to get you out of pain and also to identify and correct the underlying cause of your condition. Once we've found the root of the problem we use safe, gentle and effective treatments to put you on the road to recovery. On your first visit to Shaftesbury Chiropractic, we'll discuss your symptoms and what you'd like to achieve.
Approaches to treatment are individual to the client, as different ailments, may require deeper work to the muscles or more subtle stretching of the fascia. Sports massage also does not have to be painful, some techniques can be uncomfortable but others rely on your body and mind to be relaxed.
We use various treatments including soft tissue massage, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, neuromuscular techniques, muscular energy techniques and stretch release.

As our life-expectancy increases, we need to look after our bodies and remain as mobile and capable of going about our day-to-day lives as possible: Pilates is the perfect exercise regime for this! Rather than 'gentle' as Pilates is often described, I prefer to say it offers a vast repertoire of controlled movements, some of which are very subtle - all of which challenge mind and body either in terms of physical demand or movement skill.

Just been here last Wednesday with my best friend (and his nan) as my friend is having really bad back pain after a car accident when he was young (18)
We booked an appointment online which has been really easy! You can select the day + time + doctor which is super helpful :)!
The treatment it self is great! My friends back was so much better straight after his first session.
Also the staff is super friendly. They’ve offered us drinks (coffee, tea, water...) for free and made it really comfortable for all of us.
Everything is new and clean as they’ve just moved into a new building. We’ve
