Severn Osteopathy Clinic is in the market town of Wem, north of Shrewsbury, and is run by its director and primary practitioner, osteopath Janet Marie O’Callaghan. Janet holds a master’s degree in osteopathy and is also a fully qualified sports massage therapist. Before moving to Shropshire she worked in a busy London clinic, treating patients of all ages.
Treatment at Severn Osteopathy Clinic combines stretching, joint articulation, targeted deep tissue massage and manipulation with gentler cranial and fascial techniques, so the approach can be adjusted to suit you. Janet also gives advice on lifestyle, posture, ergonomics, exercise and aftercare. The clinic treats back, neck, shoulder, hip and knee pain, trapped nerves and sciatica, arthritis and rheumatic pain, and headaches coming from the neck, and helps with migraine prevention.
A first visit starts with your medical history. A physical examination follows only with your consent, then Janet explains her diagnosis and discusses the course of treatment with you.
Alongside osteopathy, Severn Osteopathy Clinic offers sports massage. A first osteopathy appointment of 60 to 75 minutes costs £80, with follow-ups of 40 minutes at £60 or 50 minutes at £70; sports massage is priced the same way.
The clinic’s office hours run from 8am to 8pm, and appointments can be requested through its website. Janet is registered with the General Osteopathic Council and is a member of the Institute of Osteopathy.
