Back on the Move started out by offering Osteopathy. Over time, other treatments have been added to now form a comprehensive and inter-related mix of various treatment types. This range is exactly what we set out to create all those years ago - becoming a diverse but integrated healing centre, where referral from one treatment to another provides the best-possible outcome for our clients. So for example, Osteopathy can call upon Biokinetics, Chiropractic or Massage according to patient need - and in doing so, provide a truly integrated approach geared for positive results.
