📺 It was fantastic to see our Director of Clinical & Rehabilitation Services, Dr Neil Langridge, featured on BBC South Today discussing Groove to Improve - a collaboration between Health Sciences University and Pavilion Dance South West, with funding from Wessex Health Partners. 💃

Bringing together clinical rehabilitation, research and creative movement, the project explored how dance-based approaches can support older adults living with persistent low back pain to improve mobility, build confidence and connect socially in a supportive community environment.

✨A particularly powerful moment in the feature came from one participant, who described how much mobility had improved since joining the classes.

While the research phase has now concluded, it’s wonderful to see the classes through Pavilion Dance South West continuing to make a positive impact within the community, and we are proud to have been part of this collaborative work. 🤩

Celebrating Chiropractic Awareness Week 2026 🎉

We’re proud to be celebrating Chiropractic Awareness Week, led by the British Chiropractic Association.

This year’s focus places patients at the centre, reflecting on the importance of understanding individual experiences and the impact musculoskeletal health has on everyday life.
