The Littlejohn Approach

The Littlejohn Centre was set up in 2000 to provide a comprehensive resource centre for individual and family health, using the principles of Osteopathy.

At the Littlejohn Centre you will find that you are treated as a person rather than a condition. As such you are treated as a whole, rather than simply having your immediate symptoms tackled. To that end, treatment includes education on the principles of healthy eating, regular exercise and stress management. Thus applying the principle of "self care", which is central to the Littlejohn Centre's philosophy.

This comprehensive approach to health can be applied in a variety of ways, including osteopathic treatment, counselling, diet, reflexology and other treatments. Comprehensive treatment programmes, combining specific lifestyle modifications, can be tailored to individual needs to help reduce symptoms and promote well-being.

In terms of organisation

The Littlejohn Centre is a registered charity (charity number CHY12666) whose aim is to promote this treatment approach and make it generally available. We do this in two distinct ways: by renting space to private practitioners who use this treatment approach; and by subsidising reduced fee clinics, and other programmes, when possible.

All practitioners are self employed and manage their own practices. If you require further information in relation to fees, insurance etc you can contact your practitioner directly or via our reception. All practitioners working at the centre have a limited number of reduced fee slots available so if you find fees a problem, please feel free to discuss this with them or ask a member of our reception team about possible subsidised clinics.
