Ash House is a calm, unhurried chiropractic practice for stiff backs, tight necks and bodies that have forgotten how easy movement can feel. We explain what we find, treat gently and give you a plan you can follow at home.
If something has been nagging for weeks, or it keeps coming back, a proper assessment is a good place to start.
Stiffness getting out of bed, discomfort after sitting, or a back that tightens after lifting.
Tight shoulders and a stiff neck from long days at a screen or behind the wheel.
Headaches that seem to build with posture, stress and tight upper-back muscles.
Niggles that keep interrupting your runs, lifts, rides or weekend games.
Gentle, position-adapted care for the changing load on your back and pelvis.
Hips, shoulders and mid-back that feel locked up and slow to warm up.
Most visits combine these, weighted to what your body needs and what you're comfortable with.
Precise, controlled movements to restore motion in joints that have stiffened up. We always explain first, and gentler low-force options are available.
Hands-on release for tight, guarded muscles, so adjustments settle in and the relief lasts longer between visits.
Short, specific exercises and small changes to your desk, training or sleep setup that help your body hold on to progress.
A first appointment is longer than a follow-up. That leaves room to understand the whole picture before any treatment begins.
We listen to your history, your routine and what you'd like to get back to doing.
Posture, movement and orthopaedic checks, with each one explained in plain language as we go.
If care is appropriate, we start gently that day. If it isn't, we'll say so and point you in the right direction.
You leave with a simple plan: what to do at home and when a check-in makes sense.
Lasting change happens in the hours between appointments. We keep home care short and realistic, and we space visits out as you improve.
The things people most often ask us first. Anything else, just add it to your booking request.
Something comfortable you can move in, like leggings, track pants or shorts and a light top. There's no need to change into a gown for most visits.
Most people find them comfortable and relieving. You may hear a small pop, which is simply gas releasing from the joint. If you'd prefer, we can use low-force techniques with no quick movements at all.
It depends on what's going on and how long it's been there. After your assessment, we'll suggest a short initial plan and review it together, with no long prepaid packages.
No, you can book directly. If you have relevant scans or notes, bring them along and we'll take a look.
Chiropractic care suits many people, but not everyone. We screen carefully at your first visit and refer on when something needs a different kind of care.
