It was opened by Osteopath, Melina Harrison in 2003, with the aim of creating a physical therapy clinic second to none. Our ethos is simple - to welcome you to a clinic where the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and the clinical care exceptional. Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatments based on the principle that the structure and function of the body are interrelated and therefore rely on each other for optimal health.
Through case history and clinical examination the osteopath seeks to establish the exact source of the patient's problem and formulate a diagnosis. Hands on treatment is aimed at reducing symptoms/pain, restoring function and removing any mechanical imbalances which are preventing healing. The osteopath will also provide rehabilitation exercises and life-style advice to help prevent further problems.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the Harrison Clinic. I have visited a few times over the years; and on my most recent referral returned to the friendly, welcoming and safe space; the Harrison Clinic is. They are professional, knowledgable and have patient care at the centre of all that they do.
Melina’s healing hands have worked wonders to relieve my tension and stressed body - to relieve headaches and find the source of aches and pains. She is so kind and makes you feel so comfortable; with a wonderful and calm manner once in her care.

Nathan was very professional from start to finish. He listened to me, explained and understood my problem. His treatment has reformed the agony I have spent the last 4 days in. I am sure he has saved me from a slipped disc. Cannot thank him enough. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends.
