Edwards Farm
The Shaftesbury practice at Edwards Farm is a smaller clinic where we offer Osteopathy and Podiatry. Alex Gibbs, Michael Brown, and Frances Aylen offer osteopathy and David Owens offers Podiatry.
The clinic was set up 20 years ago in a converted stable so has ample parking and is situated just under Foyle Hill on the A30 out of Shaftesbury. This provides a location for patients in the Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Mere, Salisbury, Sturminster Newton and Blandford areas.

These conditions often result in muscle weakness, tight or stiff muscles, and balance problems. Many of those affected have difficulty with performing everyday tasks with walking, using their hands, and with their everyday confidence in general.
Osteopathy
A baby has to cope with the stresses of birth, a toddler may have frequent bumps and scrapes. The school child carries heavy school bags, whilst the student spends long hours hunched over the laptop peering at low level screens.
