Our whole-person approach
Moving freely without pain is important to your overall health and quality of life. That’s why we look beyond your symptoms to treat the root of the problem and prevent it from coming back.Â
We work to empower you to achieve your health goals with a tailored treatment plan and rehabilitation programs to get you back on track. Learning how to manage your pain is just as important as your treatment. We promote evidence-based movement, and strength and conditioning exercises as part of your recovery, handing you the power to get better. You can exercise at home, use our in-house gym or join classes in our studio. Here, we offer group and 1- 2-1 support to help you return to exercise, stay motivated and have fun with movement.
We’re here to help you get out of pain and back to doing the things you love.

Our Clinic
Nimble Clinic is near Clevedon’s historic seafront in North Somerset.
Our clinic is designed to make you feel welcome and calm. We’ve transformed the ground floor of a Victorian property into warm, modern treatment spaces – a light-filled studio, private gym and comfortable treatment rooms decorated in soothing tones.
Accessibility access
Access from the pavement is down steep, stone steps. But we do also have level access to our treatment rooms. Just ask when you book.

Such a great environment feel totally relaxedEileen cole I have been visiting regularly for several years, and have found Rachel consistently kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Having suffered from back pain for over 70 years, I have consulted a number of different practitioners, and have found her one of (if not the very) best.Mary Jones After months of pain in the back of my head and my GP prescribing medication I decided to seek help in a different direction. I was not happy just suppressing the pain with tablets and sought to find out if there was an alternative therapy. My daughter had been going to see Rachel at Nimble Osteopathy for a number of years so I decided to give them a try. After 3 sessions of massage and acupuncture with Zac at Nimble the pain had completely disappeared. With further sessions my back and shoulders felt less tense and there has been no return of the head pain. I would highly recommend a visit to Nimble Osteopathy. It is a calm and relaxing place with great practitioners who are genuinely interested in treating you as an individual and in finding the route cause of your problems.Kate Watson Personal & professional service every visit !dan jones I visited Zac with severe lower back pain and he managed to not only ease my discomfort, but has helped me, going forward, to stay pain free. I can highly recommend Nimble Osteopathy.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 50 reviews
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is about more than bones. We’re experts who are trained to use our hands to diagnose all kinds of problems and we recognise the important link between how the muscles, bones, joints, nerves, organs, circulation and fascia all work together for optimal health and well-being.
What do you treat?
We treat all sorts of chronic and acute pain caused by injuries or issues with your muscles, bones and joints. We treat people of all ages and all body types. Find out what we treat here.
Do I need to be referred by a doctor?
No. You can refer yourself. Some GPs may recommend you see an osteopath but osteopathy isn’t currently available on the NHS in Bristol and Somerset.
What do osteopaths do?
We consider that with a little help, our bodies can repair themselves. During treatment, we use different techniques such as deep soft tissue massage, joint movement and manipulation, and stretching muscles. This helps increase the blood and nerve supply to tissues, which aids your body’s healing.
We’ll also give you advice and exercises to take home so that you help your body heal, improve your health and stop the problem from coming back.
Does treatment hurt?
We’ll do everything we can to minimise discomfort. Treatment should be gentle and non-traumatic. You may feel aches, discomfort and tiredness 24-48 hours after treatment.
