Dear Visitor,

Thank you for taking the time by reading this. My name is John Ryle, owner of The Durham Clinic. Over the last 15 years I have seen in excess of 45,000 treatments ranging from elite athletes to paraplegic former armed force's personal and everything in between.

If you’re this far into our website, it means you're probably wanting to find out what is going to happen at your first visit and how we can get you out of pain.

I know what it is like going to a new clinic, having slipped a disc when I was 14 years old, I found it difficult to find and trust someone who knew what they were doing.

Since this may be a brand new experience to you, this page has been created to give you an idea of what to expect when you come to visit us at The Durham Clinic

Parking

Here's the good news, there is easy accessible parking and disabled access to the building and we are located on the ground floor

When You Turn Up

When you first come you’ll be welcomed to the clinic where to try one of our lovely refreshing drinks whilst we prepare the examination room for you. You’ll be asked to don a hospital type gown for the assessment, so please wear appropriate clothing. Shorts are good if you’re a man, leggings are good for women. We wont ask you to remove your bra unless it is a sports bra as this can get in the way of our scanners.

Your Consultation

During your consultation we will sit down and go through a robust history check, so we can understand exactly what brought you to us and what we need to do for you.

Following that we will perform our SeMG scans and postural analysis that we will analyse between sessions.

A suite of physical and neurological tests then follow where we check everything from balance, to strength, reflexes, flexibility, sensations and movements.

Doing all these tests will help us formulate our plan of action for you at the next session.

Your Follow Up Appointment For Your Results

After your Consultation, we need time to analyse the results and formulate a plan that is best going to suit your needs, so when you come back to the clinic all you need to do is report to the reception again and help yourself to our complimentary teas, coffees or hot chocolates

You’ll then be taken to the room to have your report here the practitioner will go through your results, in real English – not medical jargon, so you know exactly what is going on inside of you. At any point we encourage you to ask questions as well.

Once they have gone through the results, they will then make recommendations based on what they found.

If everything is good for you and you are happy, they will perform a treatment so you can instantly see the benefits of what we have to offer.

Ongoing Care

When you have decided that you have made the right choice and come back for further treatment, you will then be shown how we work and given a ‘masterclass’ on how our equipment works, you’ll then have the chance to relax before any treatments. When you have any treatment, the practitioner will be doing constant testing and adjusting to make sure you get the best out of coming to us.
