Services
Effective osteopathic treatment and management requires a good working diagnosis, which sometimes involves X-ray, MR or CT scans to image the problem area. We at the Spine Health Centre have direct access for most types of scans. Since its founding in 2000, The Spine Health Centre has grown into one of the most respected osteopathic, pilates and yoga rehabilitation centres serving the North Hampshire community and surrounding region.

The average number of treatments required to resolve a problem is from 2 - 5 treatments over a period of 2 to 4 weeks.
Osteopathy is a system of health care that lays emphasis on the structural and mechanical elements of the body. The bones, muscles and joints are collectively known as the musculo-skeletal system, and osteopaths are primarily concerned with how this system can function at an optimal and pain-free level.
You will be treated with professional care and attention, kindness and with respect for you as an individual. A case history will be taken to discover the possible causes of the presenting problem. An osteopathic examination of the relevant parts of your body is then performed which leads to a working diagnosis.
Having suffered with lower back pain for the last few years due to a disc bulge and having seen numerous people with no success, Darcy was the first person to actually diagnose what I had and then went on to provide physical therapy which has greatly improved my overall condition. Getting treatment has helped me to manage the pain and discomfort that I would've otherwise had to deal with had I not gone to Darcy.

The best professional that you wish to have!
I'm an IT professional I spend a lot of time behind a computer and sometimes sitting and having a bad posture. As a professional I suffer often from back pain, stiff neck and other syndromes. I have tried acupuncture technique, and services and helps from different osteopath but none of them reach Mr Darcy expertise. As any professional sportsman or sportswoman will have their own osteopath. I'm glad to say I found mine. I use to ask for his services every 2 or 3 years for a quick fix in 2 or 3 sessions. If you value your body and you want to be within

Came to see Darcy after suffering for years with back pain due to scoliosis with no treatment resulting in alot of tightness in the muscles surrounding the curves and straight away from our first session he demonstrated that he knew what he was on about and was very professional and friendly. He has helped so much easing my pain, I would definitely recommend him for anyone with back and neck issues

I came to see Darcy a few months ago for upper back and neck pain
which was really starting to get me down as I was not able to sleep
at night due to the problem.
He saw me and was able to make a diagnosis fairly quickly and with
3 treatments of his spine manipulation I was a lot better and continue
to be so after these past few months.
Every time Darcy has managed to not only treat but also advise long term solutions to prevent those problems from resurfacing.
He cares, is very professional and extremely knowledgeable.
I would recommend Darcy to anyone who needs a good effective and honest

I contacted Darcy suffering significant referred sciatic pain travelling the length of my left leg. He made himself available at short notice, of an evening. He diagnosed the issue with my lower back and three treatments later, the issue is under control. Darcy also educated me on yoga exercises I could do for long term improvement in core strength to support my back. Strongly recommended.
