The build moves on....

I can't believe how much progress is being made already. I've always been told that getting the building out of the ground is always the tricky part but it's flying up!

The first few rows of blocks appear from the ground!

The Edinburgh Lectures

On Friday 15th July the chiropractors will only be treating patients up to lunch time. In the afternoon, Julia, Gavin, Vicky and James will all be travelling up to Edinburgh along with Spencer to attend this years Edinburgh Lectures.

This is an annual chiropractic seminar that is fortunate enough to have some of the worlds best chiropractic speakers. Expect us to all come back inspired to work harder and do more to help our patients.

The building work has started!

Well, it's been over a year since we got our planning permission, but building work has finally started!

We eventually got several quotes back from a number of builders in the area (I would have thought they would have been desperate for the chance to quote!) but the clear winner was Paul Jupp of Jupp-Foard builders.

We only met Paul Jupp by sheer chance. Julia was trying to find the phone number of another builder suggested to us and phoned Paul by mistake. During the call he asked if he could quote anyway, and seeing as we'd had so few quotes back by that time we thought 'why not?'

We sent him the drawings and met him at the clinic. He came back with a great price and clearly understood what we wanted. A few phone calls to his previous clients to check their experience of him gave us all the reassurance we needed, and the job was his. We set a start date that was about six weeks into the future and he turned up on that date and started work!

Currently the garage has been knocked down and the foundations for the front extension have been dug.


Where's the garage gone?



It's estimated that the work will take around six months to fully complete but the clinic will be so much better at the end of it all.

We'll have loads more parking spaces and a larger reception. There will be a dedicated retail area so we can make a wider range of products available. We'll have more storage space and also two further treatment rooms.



The foundations at the front of the building





Everywhere will be redecorated and modernised. We hope to be able to make other services available to our patients in these rooms, all with the sole aim of helping them lead healthier lives. Lastly, our clinic manager will have an office on site.

Exciting times!
