WHAT TO EXPECT
Your journey will start with a TeleHealth appointment so that we can fully understand your needs. We’ll ask you to complete a New Patient HealthCheck form and complete your payment.
Your initial consultation may be split into an online video consultation, followed by face to face adjustment and treatment. We will minimise contact time during the pandemic but be reassured that throughout your treatment we will apply best clinic practices and PPE to keep you safe. Your first appointment which may include video consult will take up to 90 minutes.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Muscular and joint pain can be debilitating and painful. It can arise from a number of sources; the most common are incorrect lifting, car or sporting accidents, falls, stress and poor posture. If you’re suffering from pain, numbness, pins and needles or restricted mobility then don’t suffer in silence.
The techniques we use are gentle, yet highly effective. We focus on the spine and neuro-musculoskeletal system and we are trained to assess these systems and identify restrictions, imbalances and dysfunction. Our package of care includes adjustments, advice and mobilisations – all are safe and comfortable to receive and are suitable for all ages.
WHAT NEXT?
Further appointments last approximately 30 minutes. The number of follow ups you require will vary depending on the nature and severity of your presenting complaint.
You may choose to receive regular chiropractic care through our Wellness Community, to allow your body to function to its optimum. Ask us about this at your appointment – we are more than happy to discuss the suitability and benefits with you.

Laura Pendleton
Laura’s love of chiropractic began almost 20 years ago when knee pain stopped her playing sport as a teenager. Anyone who knows Laura will know that this is not an option, so after only 2 visits to a McTimoney Chiropracter later, her knee pain was resolved and so was her desire to train.
After receiving her first degree in Sport and Exercise Science, Laura graduated from the McTimoney College of Chiropractic with a First Class Masters in Chiropractic in 2014 and has since returned to join the academic staff at the MCC.
Laura likes nothing more than a vigourous game of hockey, enjoying time in the garden with her two boys, and her favourite food is Nic’s home made pizza.

Nicola Pendleton
Nicola discovered McTimoney Chiropractic after suffering with back pain from the age of 15. The gentle nature of the technique aligned with Nicola and together with the relief from pain she was drawn to learn more about the McTimoney way.
She qualified as a Chiropractor in 2014 with a 2:1 Masters degree from the MCC in Abingdon. This was a dream come true for sporty Nicola, who was already working as a Certified Accountant. She could now follow her dream of helping people with more than just numbers.
Nicola is also a Goju-Ryu student, retired hockey player and loves ski-ing, or simply being in the British countryside with her family.
Client Testimonials
Just a few kind words that some of our dear clients have said.

Amy Harbor
My symptoms started in February 2019. I had been running (which was a normal activity for me). I found that I had a sharp pain when bending my back, this intensified over the evening and the next morning I found it extremely difficult to get out of bed.
I contacted Pure Balance when regular pain relief was ineffective. Laura was extremely helpful and managed an appointment the next day with Nicola. Not only were they professional, warm and time effective they know exactly how to ease my mind.
After 3 sessions the pain had almost entirely gone. After 4 I was (and still am) pain free.

Garry Kerin
My symptoms have been ongoing for the last 30 years, with my neck being more recent over the last 5 years. Pain in my lower back was causing sciatic pains down my legs, and ‘pins and needles’ to my toes and numbness too. I have also had some numbness to my left shoulder and arm which has affected my grip in my left hand.
I have had Physio treatments in the past, and more recently before moving to Gosport, I had over two years, sessions with a chiropractor local to where I worked and lived. The chiropractor gave me short term relief from all but my neck issues which could last a couple of months to a few months, the symptoms would return at some point and would never go completely.

Honor Reader
I first met Laura early December 2019 suffering acute onset of back pain. I literally couldn’t get out of bed 2 days before and a cocktail of drugs from the doctors had only marginally improved the pain I was in.
So, after literally shuffling my way into the treatment room, after an excruciatingly painful taxi drive there, I was surprised by how positive Laura was that she could help. After the first session I was able to do my shoes up, stand up and walk straight. I could not believe it! I have had several follow up sessions where I’ve continued to see improvement. I will probably continue to have sessions, even though my back pain has gone. I’m a firm believer in prevention being better than cure and after each session so far I have felt a real sense of calm and peace.
I’ve never felt ripped off by Pure Balance … just grateful that they are there…. Trustworthy and a better alternative to drugs that don’t solve the underlying problem.

Steve Mathieson
I visited Nicola on a recommendation after suffering an accident lifting something way too heavy by myself. I put up with the pain for over 3 months to a point where I found it difficult to drive, walk, and normal day-to-day activities.
As a bloke, I didn’t want help or tablets, and I carried on until the day I put some rubbish in a bin!! That was it, NO MORE!!
I met Nicola and Laura at short notice, and to be honest, it was like going to the Doctors, you get there and you think ‘I don’t feel so ill’ and I felt a bit of a con-artist. The same happened meeting Nicola, I was in discomfort, but am I wasting her time?
I sat on the massage table, Nicola went through a comprehensive series of tests in which I thought I was doing alright, until Nicola asked me to raise my knee while she held it down. All I can say is that it could have made a grown man cry!
Through these tests, Nicola pin-pointed my problems. I’d seen on social media people having chiropractic done to them – clicks, twisting peoples spines or necks like they are about to break them. This does not happen here. This is controlled in a professional manner and everything is explained to you as you go.
I visited Nicola through a series of appointments, and she was able to put me back together, now I go back on regular appointments to keep an eye on everything, or sooner if I’ve done something stupid!
There are no words to say how grateful I am to Nicola and Laura for their professionalism and kindness (particularly first of all when I almost could not move – I can’t have been very chatty then!)
