The musculoskeletal system is something we often take forgranted until it stops working properly and causes us difficulties. Musculoskeletal pain and loss of function can interfere with our ability to work and enjoy the things we usually like to do. Our sleep and relationships can also suffer as a result.

Our story begins with Martyn Speight, a medical doctor and keen fell-runner. At the start of his medical career, he had considered training to become an orthopaedic surgeon. However, being no stranger to sports injuries himself, as a patient he realised that there was a problem. Whilst there were many excellent manual medicine practitioners (such as physios and osteopaths), for those who did not respond to treatment, there was very little affordable provision for rapid access to medical intervention. So, being dissatisfied with the high fees being charged by the private hospitals. he set up one of the first independent musculoskeletal medical clinics in the North of England.

From sciatica to osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder to ligament injury, plantar fasciitis to hip pain: whatever the problem, we specialise in the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries (including sports injuries). Services are provided by a multidisciplinary team of expert, independent practitioners with many years of experience. Our aim is to relieve pain, restore function and return you to a more active life.
