Job Title:
Chiro-Massage
For our bodies to work well, receiving physical touch is vital. Our creative endeavours, emotional expression, physically demanding work and family lives, our unique health and inheritance, all leave their impression on our bodies and how we move through each day.
Massage is a wonderful way to give ourselves the opportunity to put down our busy schedules and reconnect with our inherent resource, work with our health challenges, or simply enjoy the space to relax and rejuvenate.
Having trained in Therapeutic Swedish and Remedial Massage, Myofascial Release Technique and Pregnancy Massage I feel it is always a privilege to work with you at whichever life stage you are in. With a background in the Arts and Heritage before re-training, and then having my two children, I have a particular interest in how we use our bodies in our creative practices; as makers and movers, parents and providers, as individuals and as members of our wider communities. I look forward to working with you.

Testimonials
Thanks to Claire and Network Spinal Chiropractic my life has changed on so many levels in the few months I have attended. I am a qualified R.N for the past forty years,studying Western,Chinese,Tibetan and Ayurvedic methods of healing but only Network is a genuine holistic framework of healing. I can honestly state this from an experiential point of view as it has affected my life psychologically,physically,emotionally and spiritually for the better. The treatment encourages growth and increases human potential,it opens doors of perception to allow evolving to become a natural step in progress,it all seems effortless as long as the patient is of an open mind and welcomes change. Psychologically I am more conscious,focused,compassionate and equanimous with an increasing positive and loving nature. Physically, I am healthier and fitter, after starting a strict vegetarian diet,restarting Qi Gong and feel stress free- as you are aware my work can be very stressful. Spiritually, I have resumed meditating and rediscovered my thirst for knowledge with a passion I never thought was possible,all of this in just a few short months,astounding progress! My relationships have improved,finances and overall well being have all been radically affected and I thank YOU for helping me to achieve all his and soo much more. However,the biggest insight is there is no more I,Me and Mine but a knowledge of a universal consciousness whereby we will all strive to improve relationships with one another and evolve as a species,A Planetary Consciousness for the benefit of all, With love and Heartfelt Appreciation Martina

Dr Claire is very professional and skilled, within one session I was free of pain, walking straighter and felt more ease in my body. Ive recommended her to dozens of people. I feel lucky to have found her to support me with any aches or pains that present themselves.

"I had the great fortune of meeting chiropractor Claire Ryan as a speaker at a parenting conference recently. She is so engaging and passionate about her field. After two years of getting little help through the NHS, she has already done more for my toddler after two visits to Ola. Jasmine on reception is great, too. She gets down on the floor to play with my toddler to help him feel at ease on arrival. Claire is great with him, and he enjoys being treated by her. That have a great rapport. To my toddler, Claire is putting everything right, one “pop pop” at a time! (I believe the technical term for the instrument is an Activator) My only regret is not finding her sooner!"

"I have a double curvature of the spine (scoliosis), and first went to Claire what must be approximately 9 years ago when I was having multiple problems, for which I was needing to be prescribed diclofenac. After weekly visits for a duration, Claire ‘sorted me out’. It is necessary / advisable for me to receive an adjustment every 4 to 5 weeks, to maintain my spine. I am certain that if I did not, I would end up in the same state again."
