The Tarka Clinic has been established to provide friendly knowledgeable allied health advice and treatment to our local population in the heart of North Devon. If you are someone who suffers with pain, or is looking for some expert advice on a health concern then please contact our friendly reception team to see how we can help.
Last minute appointments may be available so please call if you need to be seen urgently to discuss with a receptionist. Above the Tarka Clinic we have a studio of 9m x 7.5m, which we primarily hold yoga and Pilates classes in. The space is also perfect for holding events, talks, and other classes.

Services
Tarka Clinic is located in the centre of Barnstaple on Paiges Lane. It was opened by Sir Ranulph Fiennes in 1999. The Tarka Clinic is a dynamic, vibrant practice. Instead of having a number of practitioners working independently of each other, the members of Tarka Clinic work as a team, focusing on different aspects of the person's life in order to maximise their health potential.
When you consider that a person walks over 75,000 miles (or nearly two and a half times round the world) in the average lifetime, it's easy to understand why we develop foot problems. Some problems are inherited, and some develop from illnesses in middle age, or from the pressure of ill-fitting shoes.
Jean Bowerman was trained as a specialist Relationship Counsellor by Relate and practiced within the organisation for 25 years until the recent closure of its Barnstaple centre. She provides specialist counselling to adult couples and individuals of all ages and has worked at centres in Buckinghamshire, and for the last 14 years, in North Devon where she now lives.
Cranial osteopaths are trained to feel the Involuntary Mechanism, a very subtle, rhythmical change that is present in all body tissues. The movement is of very small amplitude, therefore it takes practitioners with a very finely developed sense of touch to feel it. This rhythm was first described by Dr. William G. Sutherland and its existence was confirmed in a series of laboratory tests in the 1960's and 1970's.
One of the reasons why sound is unable to travel down the ear canal is an excessive amount of wax production. In these individuals ear wax has to be removed periodically to restore hearing. Traditionally, this is done by 'syringing' (or 'irrigation') at the doctor's surgery but there is now a new, safer method of removing troublesome earwax.

I have been using Sharon Reed for about 2 years now. I have been suffering with lower back pains and tightness due to my job. I used to use another masseur but never felt they were helping me with my problem. To keep me free and moving I see Sharon once a month. I recommend sharon to my mum who now uses her and she has since recommended sharon to her friend.

The Tarka clinic have been a great help to our company, especially Kelvyn who has gone above and beyond to organize and deliver the test results for the assembly crew so they could cross the border on time. A professional, very friendly and helpful team who all work very hard. A strong recommendation!

I visit the Tarka Clinic at least once a month for a massage with Sharon Reed; who is a registered sportsmasseur. Sharon is an excellent masseur and a lovely lady who always puts you at ease. She manages to pinpoint my problem areas and gives advice on how to continue the treatment in between massages. I have had no hesitation in recommending her to my friends.
