Chiropractic care at The Health Barn specialises in the low force chiropractic technique known as the McTimoney Method. Not only will its gentle approach relieve your symptoms, but the thorough assessment process will find the underlying cause, so that the root of the problem can be found and addressed. This means that you will feel better for a sustained period of time. The key to the McTimoney approach is the speed and accuracy of the adjustments. Ceris uses chiropractic care along with other techniques such as massage and dry needling for treatments.

Some of the conditions that chiropractic care can help are:
- General, acute & chronic backache
- Joint pains, including hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA) (as an adjunct to core OA treatments and exercise)
- Shoulder complaints (dysfunction, disorders and pain)
- Soft tissue disorders of the shoulder
- Rotator cuff injuries, disease or disorders
- Mechanical neck pain (as opposed to neck pain following injury i.e. whiplash)
- Headache arising from the neck (cervicogenic)
- Migraine prevention
- Sciatica
- Muscle spasms
- Cramp
- Ankle sprain (short term management)
- Elbow pain and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) arising from associated musculoskeletal conditions of the back and neck (but not isolated occurrences)
- Minor sports injuries and tensions
- Plantar fasciitis (short term management)
- Generalised aches and pains
- Dizziness (Ceris is qualified to perform the Epley Manoeuvre, a treatment for BPPV. )

Chiropractic is also a successful preventative therapy and can prevent minor problems becoming greater. Chiropractors are also skilled at giving advice on posture. This includes your posture whilst working, driving, sleeping as well as during exercise.

Massage is a treatment which aims to relax, revive and heal the body. Using manual hands-on movements and manipulation of the soft tissues and muscles in the body, massage therapy works to promote healing and enhance a person’s overall well-being.

There are many forms of massage therapy, each with their own benefits. No longer is massage thought of as a luxury, only available to those who can afford it. Treatment is available for anyone, whether for relaxation purposes, for sports recovery or for pain relief.

Floating therapy is a most incredible means of stress relief, muscular relaxation, pain relief and the ultimate in peace and tranquility offering you the chance to regain physical, emotional and psychological health and regaining a good sleep pattern.

The I-Sopod Floatation Tank is located in a private heated room with shower facilities.If you wish please bring your own towels and shower products, however we do also provide these.

Please allow 90 minutes for your floatation session - 10 minutes for your pre-float briefing & a chance to ask questions; 5 minutes to change & shower before your float; 60 minutes in the floatation tank; and finally 15 minutes to shower again, change & relax before leaving.

The simplest definition of the word Reiki is: (rei) universal or spiritual (ki) life force energy. Reiki is a gentle, yet profound, non-invasive therapy that works well with other complementary therapies and orthodox medicine.

Usui Reiki - Traditional Usui Reiki flows through the practitioners hands placed upon different areas of the body working on the etheric energy levels to bring balance as a whole; physically, emotionally and/or spiritually. Reiki is a hands on/off form of energy healing which may benefit those with anxiety, stress, and pain who prefer a treatment where they are fully clothed, either lying down or in a chair.

Angelic Reiki - Hands on and off the recipient’s body are used to guide this powerful healing modality that works with the highest energies of the angelic realm. Working to bring balance on all levels to those receiving the healing energy treating the body, mind, emotions and spirit whilst creating a sense of relaxation.

Kundalini Reiki - This is quite different to traditional Usui reiki. Combining the universal energy and the Kundalini, the energy of creation, this aims to work at a deeper level.
