Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that specialises in the diagnosis and management of conditions involving the muscles, bones, joints and nerves of the body. Although chiropractors are best known for treating back and neck pain, they can also help with a wide range of other musculoskeletal conditions.
Physiotherapy is a well known and regulated healthcare profession in the UK, where the therapist manually helps the patient recover from a musculoskeletal problem e.g. Commonly physiotherapists will use a combined approach to conservatively address a problem. At Skelian our physiotherapy department treats musculoskeletal problems.
There are so many benefits to having a fantastic massage, whether you have a specific problem or not. Massage therapy can be a great way to reduce pain, stress or help recover from an injury. Most things that cause pain or anxiety can lead muscle tension and massage is a great way to help address or manage those problems.
Back pain has a horrible habit of returning time and time again. One of the most common reasons for this is weakness of the deep supporting muscles of the spine. Unfortunately, every time you have an episode of back pain these muscles get weaker, and they do not strengthen again on their own, leaving us more vulnerable to further episodes.

Skelian was recommended to me by a friend. I'd been troubled by long standing painful injuries for a number of years. I was just living with the discomfort and pain. It reached a point where it was affecting my daily activities and quality of life. I've been seeing Alex for a while now, and as he works through the various injuries, I can feel (and my wife can see) enormous improvements and I'm doing more of the things I want to do. When you have longstanding issues, I recognise that it's going to take a longer time to resolve - which I'm happy with. Alex is great, he's knowledgeable and approachable

Had a sports massage with Ash yesterday to release 2 weeks of knots and tension in my neck, shoulders and back and I feel like a new person today; I’d forgotten what a normal neck feels like! His knowledge is excellent and he made me feel very comfortable. I’ll definitely be going again to relieve any future tension or injuries.

Easily the highlight of my week!
I've been seeing Ellie for a few months now and look forward to the treatment each time. I've been suffering with my back for a few years, and previous physio treatment hasn't done much for me. As soon as I started with Ellie, my recovery was noticeable in the matter of weeks. I'm now able to do simple tasks that I previously couldn't. Couldn't recommend Ellie or Skein enough, or thank them for what they have done to aid my recovery :)

I had suffered back/neck and head pain for so long that I thought it was just something I had to put up with and that nothing would really help. When someone recommended Skelian to me I decided it was worth a try, although I fully expected it to be weeks before I felt the benefit of any results. However, after my very first consultation with Ellie I already felt a million times better and wish I'd started going years ago. I have been keeping up with my sessions as Ellie recommends and barely get any pain now. Ellie is so lovely and puts you immediately at ease - she very clearly knows her stuff

Have always received excellent treatment at Skelian for upper back and neck trouble. Complete confidence in Alex who always ensures the sessions are never rushed as sometimes experienced at other clinics. An organised clinic along with ample, easy parking which always helps if you're in discomfort. Certainly my go-to chiropractic clinic in the Cheltenham area.

As a skeptic of chiropractic medicine, I initially went to Skelian to see if this was something that could be of benefit but didn't go with much expectation. However...
Ellie Hill has been fantastic, a diligent professional that has taken the time to understand my issues and work them through to positive results. This includes reduction of pain and inflexibility down to improvements in speed and strength.
I rely on my physical ability for work and would happily recommend Ellie and Skelian without hesitation, especially to those with an active lifestyle.

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. I had an diagnostic ultrasound with Jonathan Wride who, along with every other member of the team I had the pleasure to meet, was the perfect balance of friendly and professional. Great practice and extraordinarily affordable! Highly recommended.

Does exactly what you expect, helping the problem and giving you what's needed to try prevent it from returning, plus more.
Genuinely lovely staff, honest and charming, always greeting you and sending you on your way with a smile. Alex is my chiropractor, decent and honest chap who takes care of business.
Would recommend fully, would change absolutely nothing. Great all round

Going to see Alex has been extremely beneficial for my teenage daughter.
Alex is very professional and personable, he made my daughter feel very relaxed, carried out a thorough assessment and made her aware of the need for her to look after herself more thoroughly in the future.
My 17 year old daughter was really suffering with back and neck ache whilst home schooling during lockdown.
I initially thought it was down to not sitting properly at her desk and bad posture.
I started to get worried when every time she sat next to me on the sofa her neck cracked.
I suggested she try online yoga and

My husband recommended Skelian so I started using them for pregnancy chiropractic sessions in my third trimester of pregnancy. I don't think I could have kept as active as I have done, or slept as well, had I not been to see Monika. All the staff are very friendly, professional and accommodating (very important when you get to the end of pregnancy!) I would thoroughly recommend and will continue visiting once our baby is here.
