We believe that affordable complementary health care should be available to everyone.  From newborns to the elderly, weekend warriors to Olympic athletes.

Over 20 years ago I arrived at the Walnut Grove Clinic with a worn-out, disintegrating body. Now, thanks to the whole team at the Clinic for their professionalism and kindness,  I am still working full time. I am so grateful to everyone involved as I cannot imagine my life without plants. 

I’ve been a regular patient at Walnut Grove for several years receiving Osteopathy treatment from Zara Ford and her excellent team primarily for back and other joint problems. Pilates classes and lessons in the Alexander Technique have also been of immense benefit. This holistic approach has enabled me to maintain my mobility over the years. I walk a lot and attend two exercise classes a week. I would not have achieved any of this without Walnut Grove.

I having been attending Walnut Grove Clinic with various aches and pains since its inception in 1992.  It was the first time I had encountered osteopathy and was amazed at what Zara could do for me. Since then, its friendly, efficient and expert practitioners have helped me on many occasions for both acute problems and ongoing fitness.  The administrative staff are always welcoming and I consider the Clinic to be an important element of Portishead’s health care.

They are both passionate about healthcare and helping people from all different backgrounds throughout all stages of life and believe in the multidisciplinary approach towards one’s health from hands on treatment where necessary and enabling the patient to help oneself with exercise, rehabilitation and beyond. This is what they loved about the clinic when they first started working here; how Zara had built a place where people could access various therapies and classes to improve one’s health or, if further referral was needed, the rapport and respect that had been created with other local medical disciplines and the surrounding GP surgeries.

Kathryn’s & Steve’s vision for Walnut Grove Clinic, since taking over from Zara in 2021, is a simple one – to continue the good work and great name that the 30 year old established clinic holds and further support the community of Portishead and surrounding areas in every way that they can, not just in the healthcare capacity.

We have a large multidisciplinary health care team ready to offer you treatments, encouragement and support to help you get back to health and keep you there. All our therapists are suitably qualified and registered so you can be confident that you are getting the highest quality service in Portishead. We also have friendly, experienced reception staff who are highly knowledgeable about all our treatments and can answer your general queries.

Fantastic experience: Candy is professional and motivating to the group. She goes more than the extra 100 miles to all and everyone of us. Since going to her classes we are both fitter and really motivated and keep the exercises up at home. We would recommend her to anyone who wishes to become fit and strong and I am happy to reply to anyone who is thinking of joining one of her classes. She has improved our quality of life and we look forward to joining her groups, as she attracts delightful team players.

Fantastic experience: I attended the taster session for the Senior Strong class run by Candy. As usual, it was an excellent experience with targeted exercises for upper and lower body plus balance. Candy was aware of my recent hip replacement and constantly checked that I was ok with the exercises. I found two exercises particularly helpful for strengthening my weak lateral leg muscles. The opportunity for a coffee and chat with participants afterwards was a pleasant experience too. I shall be attending this class regularly. Thanks Candy.

Fantastic experience: I was struggling to find a chiropractor that suited me after my former chiropractor retired. Now that I have started seeing Gemma she has helped me massively as I have struggled with lower back pain. Every time I have had a session I feel like a new man. I would highly recommend to anyone who is suffering with back pain.

Fantastic experience: Had a great initial assessment & treatment with Tom. Very welcoming, thorough and knowledgable. He was really positive about how he could help and develop a plan to work with you to rehabilitate. Would highly recommend, thanks!

Fantastic experience: Steve Harper is an excellent osteopath. He is very careful not to over treat the area and tailors his treatments accordingly - recognising what the body needs. He is very genuine and does not ask you to sign up to a minimum number of treatments like some osteopaths do. I have seen many osteopaths over the years and without doubt Steve is the best. Walnut Grove is a fabulous clinic and offers a host of therapies to keep us fit and well - there is something for everyone!

Pat O'Shaughnessy 3 years ago
