The Melksham Movement Clinic

Fantastic experience: Came to see Sian with my baby who was very uncomfortable, we were struggling to get to the bottom of why. Sian has been amazing, so knowledgable, calm and patient and has identified sources of discomfort and tension which she has already been able to make improvements on and we have already seen improvements in baby too! Thank you Sian

Fantastic experience: I visit Doug/ Sian regularly and always leave feeling so much better! They are friendly, attentive and provide a safe environment. They both work super hard to make sure I leave feeling better and I have found tremendous benefits from visiting regularly, especially if you’re in a high stress job. Could not recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: I went to Sian with hip pain that wasn't getting better after weeks, and terribly worried I'd done myself a serious injury. She was so lovely and reassuring and what's more I think she's basically fixed me in one session. Seeing her next week to make sure but the one word review here is: Amazing!

Fantastic experience: After a week of severe back pain from a work injury I contacted The Melksham Movement Clinic. The hour long session was extremely helpful and i not only left feeling a lot better but also fully understanding what was causing the pain. I'm very satisfied with the session and can highly recommend the Clinic.

Fantastic experience: We have been seeing Sian for our newborn baby for paediatric osteopathy and it has been a great experience. The magic she performs on our daughter has massively reduced her tension and is having a positive impact with her breastfeeding. Sian is super lovely and really gentle with our daughter. It has also been lovely to chat with Sian mother-to-mother during our sessions and she has provided great advice during this newborn phase. I would recommend to all parents of newborn babies to go for an osteo assessment in the early weeks to see how it can help.

Fantastic experience: Friendly. Always does the job well.

Fantastic experience: Turned to osteopathy as a last resort when my son (5) was suffering with tummy aches and poor sleep and GP intervention was failing. Wish we had come sooner, from the 1st appointment Sian has been amazing, really listening to the issues we were facing and providing symptomatic relief. My son always leaves so relaxed after the sessions. Sians genuine care shines through and she has truly gone the extra mile for our family- we cannot thank you enough for helping us as a family.

Fantastic experience: We went in for a paediatric osteopath appointment for our 6 week old son and Sian was absolutely fantastic. She was so welcoming and made us feel at ease all throughout the appointment. Our son was so comfortable around Sian and she was so helpful with recommendations for our baby. Highly recommend Sian, she’s a magician. Within our first appointment our son already feels so relieved.

Fantastic experience: Doug is a lovely guy and after two visits I can feel it getting better.

Fantastic experience: On my visit to Melksham Movement Clinic for lower back pain i saw Doug. He was very friendly and professional, taking time to show me where my problem was in my pelvis. He did some massage and muscle manipulation and I am already feeling positive results. I highly recommend

Fantastic experience: We reached out to Sian when we needed support with colic and reflux symptoms our new born twins had. Sian has been absolutely amazing from the get go. She explains everything she’s doing, gave us exercises to try at home and she is so so kind and compassionate. After a few appointments our twins were calmer and had a lot less tension, therefore improving their colic and reflux. I cannot reccomend Sian enough, she has been absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic experience: I visited Doug today for the first time with a lower back issue, and I couldn't be more impressed. He was friendly, professional, and quickly identified the root of the problem - getting straight to work in that very first session. He also took the time to share practical advice for ongoing treatment, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for effective, attentive care!

Fantastic experience: My 3 month old is currently receiving treatment from Sian for torticollis and the difference after just the first session was unbelievable - my baby’s ability to turn her head has improved so much already and she is already a happier, more relaxed baby for it. Sian is calm, honest and friendly and explains everything very clearly, reassuring me as a nervous new mum that my baby is in the right hands. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Sian and Doug for years. They are both very knowledgeable and professional. They always help with my lower back issues. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I have seen Doug Purves for osteopathy treatment for 2 appointments. He is friendly, knowledgeable and has a very calm and professional approach. He was informative about my condition and the likely improvement possible. On leaving I could immediately feel a difference in my back and neck and ongoing improvements throughout the following weeks. He provided simple exercises with a link to videos to do to help between appointments. His consulting room is delightfully light, and airy. There is free parking available on site and the clinic is close to Melksham town centre. I feel safe in his hands and have no hesitation in recommending the service he provides.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended, professional service with great results. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant. Had further shoulder issues, saw Douglas and seeing improvements, got another appointment so hoping to get this resolved. Definitely a great clinic.

Fantastic experience: I have been having treatment here for my various neck/shoulder/back problems that come with being a hairdresser for about two years now. After only one visit Doug made such huge improvements to the pain I had in my neck and I havnt looked back. I go as often as I can for maintenance and I feel such instant results each time. Would highly recommend Melksham movement clinic!

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Doug at the Melksham Movement Clinic. As a Physiotherapist, I have been treated by other osteopaths over the years. I have been incredibly impressed with Doug and will definitely return as needed. The clinic itself a lovely building, the room is very clean, light and airy. Doug is very knowledgeable, professional and also excellent at putting you at ease. Doug offers a first class service and in a short time helped to ease some stubborn aches and pains.

Fantastic experience: Great work again from Sian. Sian’s the reason why I can continue to Decorate after major back surgery and falling off a ladder recently. Friendly and very professional. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The Melksham Movement Clinic offers a professional service in a lovely, clean modern environment. Doug is fantastic! Full medical history taken, he really listens to me and works on the area causing my pain. The exercise plan is clear with good photos to show what you need to do. He also helped my teenager when she had awful neck pain. He explained clearly each time he worked on her neck & shoulders and checked she was happy with what he was doing. I was very impressed as it's not nice seeing you child in pain and not able to help them. I am always recommending Doug to friends and family.

Doug met me at the front door. Very nice comfatable areas for you to wait. Prompt seeing me. Went through my questionnaire asking other questions. Was very informative. Showed me what he thought it could be. Did some work on my shoulder. Emailed exercises to me and booked in for another session. Very polite and welcoming. Happy I've chosen this clinic.

Fantastic experience: Fiona was brilliant! My 8 month old was having issues with his movements and we have seen such an improvement after only 2 sessions. He doesn’t tend to like strangers but he is calm and happy to be in her care.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Doug at the clinic for the last 3 weeks due to a joint problem. The pain was unbearable at the time and I could barely walk, I’ve had 3 sessions and the pain is no longer there. I am almost back to doing my usual activities. Doug has also helped with other niggles I’ve had along the way and it’s great to see improvements. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I started going to Doug a few months back due to some mild back pain. He did a great job and I only needed to see him a few times. Unfortunately, due to being a bit foolish with what I thought I could manage, I overdid it recently and have had cause to return to him. Again, he's doing a great job. His knowledge is really good as well. My wife sees him from time to time to help with her back after she broke it some years ago. She's so much better after treatment. I certainly endorse Doug for his abilities and empathy.

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased that I found Sian at the Melksham Movement Clinic, which is a lovely and ideally-located place to attend for treatment. Sian's friendly expertise is being of great help to me, along with the exercises she has provided me with to do at home. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: This was my 1st visit to an Osteopath and im so glad I went! The easy and quick booking system was great and I was able to book an appointment that suited my busy life.

I reached out to Sian a couple of weeks after birth to see if she could help with colicky symptoms. She had appointments readily available and things improved straight away after his initial treatment. We have since been back to the Melksham Movement Clinic numerous times and I can’t recommend her enough…plus, my little boy loves her! What more could you ask for?
