Back Pain
What is Back Pain?
Back pain or ache can be caused by a number of different things. Commonly we strain a muscle or ligament when doing something unusual or awkward. Often there is a build up of tension in other areas of the body meaning our spine has to work too hard and eventually the straw on the camel’s back is too much for the joints to cope with.
Our osteopaths and massage therapists are skilled at getting to the cause of your problem giving lasting results.
Osteopaths are skilled at doing orthopaedic tests and are experts at diagnosing more complex problems. These would include significantly reduced mobility and nerve pain like sciatica.
Massage therapists are skilled at releasing tight muscles and soft tissues giving relief by alleviating inflammation.
Acupuncture can also be a useful treatment for managing more severe pain including nerve pain and muscle spasms.

Excellent diagnostics and osteopathy treatment with highly responsive practitioners.Posted on Anita VinesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been visiting Magdalen Health for over a year now and can't recommend this place enough. Holly and Charlotte are extremely knowledgeable in their respective fields. I wouldn't go anywhere else, and I wholeheartedly recommend them both.Posted on Ruslana RadevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best places ive taken my daughter. She is a medically complex kid and has struggled with meltdowns, anxiety, food refusals and loads more behavioural issues but after seeing Daniela, she has started understanding and communicating more, shes not melting down nearly as much as she used to, she is slowly accepting food again, she is a lot calmer and happier. I honestly recommend Daniela a million times, she has been amazing!Posted on Jessie VallanceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been visiting Magdalen health for a few months now but Charlotte is the best therapist I have seen both in exeter and further afield. She’s always professional and friendly and ensures she concentrates on areas that are affecting you the most. She has a real gift with massaging for pain relief and it’s a joy to go and see her. I can thoroughly recommend her hot stone massage which I’ve never tried before as an option but now I wouldn’t look back! Thanks CharlottePosted on Dominic WestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Saw Andrew today due to issues with my quad and shin, and it was an amazing experience. I feel so much better for the treatment, and he was extremely insightful, knowledgeable and professional. The rehab I was given was incredible… can’t recommend enough!Posted on Peter BlackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very impressed with Andrew's knowledge and ability to diagnose my injury correctly also only one visit so far and next day I don't know which leg was the one I had the issue with! Highly recommend!Posted on Rei BosqueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oh, Charlotte is such a sweetheart, and the place is incredibly calming and peaceful. It's just so lovely to be around her and in that relaxing environment.
