We operate from what was the old West Sussex Podiatry premises and are continuing the good work of Pat and Rosita, and have updated and refurbished the clinic rooms, an added new therapies and products to our offering.

No. We will gladly take recommendations from GP's, but it is not essential. Some health insurers will insist on this though.

See the Prices page. 

Osteopathic and Acupuncture therapy is tuned to the individual. Complex cases may require little more time. In contrast, over-treatment can result in unnecessary discomfort. Therefore these treatments may be slightly longer or shorter than advertised, depending on the nature of the problem.

See the Prices page.

Loose fitting clothes are helpful. Jeans not advised as it makes movement difficult. 

A loose top, or vest is best for osteopathy, so the shape of your spine can be assessed. You would not normally need to undress down to underwear. although this may be necessary on the initial appointment, we have gowns to help you feel comfortable.

Of course, massage would require undressing to underwear, but modesty is protected using towels.

Podiatry would expect easy access to your feet and lower legs.

Deep tissue massage and Osteopathy can feel firm, but this is part of the healing process. You might be a bit sore the next day, but this passes.

Cranial osteopathy is extremely gentle but can make you a little light headed, as can Acupuncture.

Of course. A chaperone would be expected for minors.

Cover varies for different companies and different therapies. Andre is covered by most insurers.

The first session for Osteopathy and Foot Care (Chiropody) requires a full medical history. This ensures the treatment offered is safe and appropriate.

Our therapists are highly trained, and can take into account a wide range of pathologies that may impact your treatment.

Pre Care Instructions 

Prior to treatment ear wax needs to be softened using olive oil ear drops or spray. 

If you wear hearing aids procedure is as follows- remove hearing aids as normal before bed. Administer a spray in each ear for 7 days.

Otherwise, spray is administered 3 times a day for three days.

We recommend Earol Olive Oil Spray which we stock priced £4.95.

We also recommend you put a covering on your pillowcase to protect it overnight from the oil. 

Suspected Infection 

Before you book your treatment, let us know if you have been experiencing ear pain, or if you think you may possibly have an infection. We will probably ask you to visit your GP or Pharmacist prior to your consultation, but if that’s not a suitable option for you, we can still inspect the ear canals to rule out any issues that may prevent or delay your treatment. 

Sore Ears Before Wax Removal

If you are experiencing itchy, achy pain, this may be due to the amount of wax you have in your ear canal. Your removal treatment could resolve this. 

Sore Ears Following Wax Removal.

This is extremely rare, however, if you have had a large amount of wax removed, then this soreness may just be due to the canals remaining very sensitive. This discomfort should only last a day or so. If the pain continues or is moderate to severe, please contact the clinic. 

Having a ‘blocked ear’ sensation 

When ears are blocked with wax for some weeks or months, pressure can build up behind the blockage causing a feeling of having cotton wool in the ear or a sensation of having blocked up ears. It is not unusual for the sensation of having a blocked ear for a few days following the wax removal, especially if warm water irrigation was used. However, if the feeling persists after a few days, please contact us for advice. 

I had Irrigation, what aftercare do I need?

Following gentle warm water irrigation to clear your ear wax it is important to keep your ear canals dry to reduce the risk of infection from water-borne bacteria. The irrigation process can slightly dry the canals and strip the area of some of the natural oils secreted from inside the ear. The natural oils should return to normal levels after a few days. Ear plugs should be worn for three days following treatment when showering or washing hair.

I had Microsuction, what aftercare do I need? 

After Microsuction there is no need to keep ears dry as the natural oil levels have not been affected, no other precautions or aftercare is needed.

Can I go swimming after irrigation and microsuction?

No swimming for three days after treatment. 

Can you treat children for ear wax removal?

No we are currently offering treatment to patients aged 18 years and over.

Treatment Terms and Conditions

Ear Wax Removal via Microsuction/ Warm Water Irrigation is considered safer than other methods such as syringing. The ear wax removal will be carried out by our trained clinician Caroline. 

Complications of ear wax removal are uncommon; however possible complications, side- effects, and material risks inherent in the procedure include, but are not limited to- 

• Severely impacted/stubborn wax requiring a second visit

• Minor bleeding, 

• Discomfort, 

• Ringing in the ear (Tinnitus), 

• Perforation of the eardrum 

• Hearing loss. 

To ensure the risk of complication is minimised, it is essential that accurate past medical history is supplied to our clinician. In addition, it is important the patient remains relatively still during the procedure as sudden movement may significantly increase the risk of eardrum perforation, permanent hearing loss, and/or bleeding.

Ear Microsuction is for ear wax removal ONLY. You will need to see your GP regarding any abnormalities discovered during treatment. 

Consultation fees 

Ear Wax removal (45mins) £65

Base Consultation fee £30

We will not charge you for wax removal if it’s not needed so if, after examination, we discover there is no ear wax for removal a base consultation fee of £30 is charged. 

In the event that a second appointment is required due to stubborn or severely impacted wax the initial appointment fee of £65 will be charged on your first visit and the base consultation fee of £30 will be charged at the second appointment. 

If you cannot make your appointment, please give at least 24 hours' notice, so our therapists can offer your booking to other customers. We reserve the right to charge for cancellations at short notice or missed appointments.
