Nestled in the heart of Godmanchester, The Centre for Complementary Health has been a pioneer in Complementary and Alternative Medicines since 1987. The new owner of the clinic, Ting Yi Yang, envisions services not just for pain relief but for helping people develop deeper connections with their bodies. “We don’t just treat symptoms; we help people understand their bodies and live with greater body freedom”, Ting explains enthusiastically. With a dedicated team of HCPC-registered (Health and Care Professions Council) healthcare practitioners specialising in diverse medical expertise, the clinic offers a range of holistic treatments focused on improving physical and mental wellbeing. Our comprehensive services include osteopathy, cranial osteopathy, physiotherapy and sports therapy, acupuncture, podiatry, counselling, and exercise rehabilitation workshops. The team provide effective treatment solutions for common complaints such as foot-related issues, neck and back pain, headaches, overuse and sport injuries, muscle and joint problems, while also helping you to enhance your productivity, reduce stress, and improve your overall quality of life. The Power of a Holistic Approach What sets our clinic apart is our emphasis on preventative care. Rather than just treating pain, our team share knowledge on posture, movement, and lifestyle changes to help you prevent recurring problems. We offer enriching classes in Pilates and the Alexander Technique (helping you improve your awareness of how you use your body) to improve your health in a supportive environment designed to help you benefit from our treatments with lasting benefits. One of the clinic’s most distinguished offerings is the Alexander Technique, led by Roy, a master practitioner with over 25 years of clinical experience. This powerful approach helps you develop a heightened bodily awareness, enhancing your posture while reducing strain with daily activities. Roy’s expertise spans diverse fields—from helping golfers achieve the focused “Zone Mind” state, to guiding performers, and also assisting office workers in preventing repetitive strain injuries. As an author of three books on this technique, Roy offers both one-to-one sessions and specialised workshops for those seeking to move through life with greater ease and confidence.
The clinic has also recently invested in an Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy machine, which is a powerful non-invasive treatment option. This advanced technology delivers high-energy sound waves that accelerate healing by stimulating blood flow and tissue regeneration, resulting in faster recovery time. Particularly effective with chronic musculoskeletal conditions—such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and calcified shoulder tendinopathy—the shockwave therapy addresses both superficial chronic pain and deeper issues including joint-bone injuries. This novel addition expands the clinic’s therapeutic capabilities, encouraging lasting health benefits for you.
