Know someone who has been struggling with pain or a problem that keeps coming back?
This could be the nudge they need.
Sarah came to Hands On Clinic after struggling with back pain that had gradually worsened over several years and become particularly severe over the previous 12 months.
She had tried physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment, exercises and pain medication. An MRI scan showed arthritic changes at L4/L5, yet she continued to experience:
- Persistent lower and mid-back pain
- Pain radiating into both shoulders
- Right hip pain
- Difficulty walking for more than five minutes
Looking Beyond the Pain
Many people assume that the area causing pain must also be the source of the problem.
In reality, the body often compensates for underlying dysfunctions elsewhere. Over time, these compensations can create pain far away from the original issue.
Using our assessment-led approach, Sarah's screening identified a significant restriction within the sacrum. Once this had been corrected, reassessment revealed a second pattern involving the neck and jaw that had previously been hidden.
Each treatment was guided by what the body revealed through assessment rather than simply focusing on where the pain was felt.
Back pain support in Braunton
The Result
After just three treatments:
✓ Back pain resolved
✓ Shoulder pain resolved
✓ Right hip pain resolved
✓ Walking ability dramatically improved
Sarah went from struggling to walk for five minutes to enjoying long coastal path hikes again.
Why Assessment Matters
Pain is often the end result of a chain of compensations within the body.
That's why every treatment at Hands On Clinic begins with assessment. Rather than simply treating symptoms, we look for what may be driving them.
For many people, that difference is what finally allows lasting change to happen.
What Sarah Had to Say
"I was recommended to try Bowen Therapy with Phil for constant back pain that I had been struggling with for over 12 months. During that time, I had numerous physiotherapy and chiropractic appointments, which provided some relief but never fully resolved the problem.
After just one Bowen treatment with Phil, my pain was dramatically reduced. I was able to walk long distances again, including up and down hills, without the discomfort I had become used to.
Since then, I have had two further sessions and no longer have the shoulder and hip pain that I was experiencing.
I don't fully understand how the treatment works, but the results have been remarkable for me.
Thank you, Phil. I will certainly be back the next time I am in Braunton if I need any further treatment."
Looking for Answers?
If you've tried multiple treatments but still feel like you're not getting to the root of the problem, an assessment-led Bowen therapy session may help uncover what has been missed.

The Sunday Experience
This special session combines two treatments that work beautifully together:
30-minute massage with Susan
Designed to ease muscular tension, improve circulation, and allow your body to begin letting go of the stress it’s been holding.
30-minute facial with Ellie
A calming, restorative treatment using the Land & Water Botanical range, known for its gentle, naturally derived ingredients and skin-nourishing properties.
Together, they create a balanced experience — addressing both physical tension and skin health in a way that feels effortless and deeply relaxing.
Why Combine Massage and Facial?
Many people treat these as separate experiences, but when combined, the effect is far greater.
The massage helps the body shift out of a state of tension, allowing the nervous system to settle. By the time your facial begins, your body is already more receptive — making the treatment feel deeper, more effective, and more restorative.
It’s not just two treatments — it’s a complete reset.
The Land & Water Differenc
Ellie’s facials use the Land & Water Botanical range, chosen for its focus on natural, skin-friendly ingredients.
These products are designed to:
- Hydrate and nourish the skin
- Support natural balance
- Calm and restore without harsh chemicals
The result is skin that feels refreshed, supported, and naturally radiant — without being overworked.
A Moment to Pause
In busy routines, it’s easy to overlook what the body is asking for — until tension builds or fatigue sets in.
This Sunday session is a simple opportunity to step away, take time out, and allow both body and mind to reset in a calm, supportive environment.

Give the Gift of Deep Rest, Repair, and Renewal
Mother’s Day is an opportunity to pause and give something meaningful — not just a gift, but an experience of genuine rest and restoration. At Hands On Clinic, we’ve created a special Mother’s Day weekend with carefully chosen treatments designed to calm the nervous system, release physical tension, and nourish the skin.
These offers will run Saturday 14th March and Sunday 15th March only, with limited availability, please contact the clinic.
45-Minute Massage – £40
with Susan or Paula
Modern life places constant demand on the body — particularly through the neck, shoulders, and lower back. Our remedial massage treatments focus on releasing accumulated muscular tension, improving circulation, and allowing the nervous system to settle.
This 45-minute session is ideal for:
-
Relieving neck and shoulder tension
-
Reducing stress-related tightness
-
Improving mobility and circulation
-
Creating a deep sense of relaxation
Susan and Paula both bring a calm, attentive approach, adapting each treatment to what the body needs on the day.
Float Therapy – £30
Floatation offers a level of rest that is difficult to achieve anywhere else. Floating effortlessly in warm water saturated with Epsom salts removes pressure from the joints and spine, allowing muscles to fully release.
During a float, many people experience:
-
Profound muscular relaxation
-
Reduced stress and mental fatigue
-
Relief from chronic tension and pain
-
Improved sleep and mental clarity
It is often described as the closest experience to complete physical stillness — allowing both body and mind to reset.
Introducing the Land & Water Facial – £40 (usually £55)
with Ellie
We are delighted to introduce a new facial treatment using Land & Water, a British skincare range created using natural botanicals inspired by the balance between earth and ocean.
Land & Water products are formulated with carefully selected plant oils, mineral-rich extracts, and gentle active ingredients designed to support the skin’s natural function — rather than overwhelm it. Their philosophy centres on restoring balance, strengthening the skin barrier, and encouraging long-term skin health.
This facial combines:
-
Deep cleansing using natural botanical formulations
-
Gentle exfoliation to renew the skin
-
Nourishing oils and hydration
-
Slow, restorative facial massage to improve circulation and tone
Beyond the visible effects, the treatment provides a deeply calming sensory experience, helping quiet the nervous system while restoring the skin.
It is ideal for tired, stressed, or sensitive skin — and for anyone needing space to slow down.
A Gift That Lasts Longer Than a Day
While flowers fade, the effects of genuine rest and care can last far longer. Whether it’s relieving physical tension, calming the nervous system, or restoring the skin, these treatments support the body in returning to balance.
Appointments are limited across the weekend.

Give the gift of restoration this Mother’s Day.
At Hands On Clinic in Braunton, we believe the environment matters.
People don’t just come here for treatment.
They come to feel calmer. More settled. More themselves.
That’s why we’re proud to display artwork by local North Devon artist Conor Wilson throughout the clinic.
His work brings colour, structure and character to our walls — and helps create a space that feels thoughtful and grounded.
The Sand Art Original
Among the printed canvas works, we also display an original white sand artwork.
This piece is completely different in tone.
Monochrome.
Textured.Calm.
The raised organic forms create gentle shadows that shift with the light throughout the day.
The Runic Wheel – In the Float Room
In our float room, above the pod, hangs a striking circular piece called “The Runic Wheel.”
It’s symmetrical, vibrant and centred — a strong focal point before entering the float pod.
Floating is about reducing sensory input.
The Runic Wheel acts as a visual threshold.
Before stepping into stillness, your eye meets balance and order.
It prepares the space quietly — without saying anything at all.
We’re pleased to support local creativity here in Braunton and North Devon.
If a piece catches your eye during your visit, you can view more of Conor’s work at:

Some pieces displayed in the clinic may be available to purchase — just ask at reception.
Hot Stones and Cryotherapy Massage.
Bonita McCarthy brings something new to the Hands On Clinic for 2026.
I am happy to share that I have recently added a new skill to my bow.
What I love most about my new training…
The heating and warming function of Hot Stones Massage Therapy, especially in the cooler months is just so perfect to take you into a state of relaxation more quickly. I travelled to Sherbourn where as a focused group of four we learnt a gorgeous techniques such as how to place warmed stones on pressure points on the back and shoulders whilst then working the back of the legs and how to wrap the feet closely with a hot stone on the sole of the foot whilst massaging the front of the legs…just divine!
I adore the way the stones are working for you whilst I work on other areas of your body.
I already understand the benefit of being able to apply both firm and light pressure during bodywork. I found that with the various sized hot stones I am able to do deeper pressure point work, deep tissue work and sublime soothing lighter strokes all with the added benefit of heat or cold. I left my truing day feeling this is therapy that is totally versatile in application -
Great for those who want a slowed down relaxing soothing treat and amazing for those who are looking for deep pressure muscle release.
I was also trained in cryotherapy - the use of fridge cold stones, I wasn’t too keen on the use of them for full body massage! But I certainly now know they are fabulous for targeting areas of inflammation, for use on tired and locked up calf muscles and for facial massage the cold stones created an incredible contrast of sensation.
The science behind Cryotherapy
I like to get a bit nerdy and share some of the science behind the therapy - In contrast to the heated stones Cryotherapy creates a dramatic movement of fluids within the body due to alternating constriction and dilation of the blood vessels. The use of the cold stones generates healing, cleansing, and nourishing acting as a decongestant, anti inflammatory. The contrast of heat and cold tones and strengthens most notably the immune system. Cryotherapy has huge benefits but as with all my bodywork I will taylor it specifically to your needs, therefore Cryotherapy is offered as a choice.
I am full of enthusiasm for my new skill and can’t wait to bring this to you at the Hands On Clinic in Braunton from March 2026.

I (Phil) am often asked "are there any exercises that I can do for my back pain?"
The short answer is yes, while I am NOT one to prescribe PT style exercise and work outs there is a super easy and very effective stretching regime anyone can do. It will take 15 mins of your day, maximum.
It is known as the "Magic 4"
Four floor and chair based stretches that will open you hips, pelvis and spine, a great method of maintaining flexibility and function within your spine.
So So Simple, SO SO SO effective. Give them a go and let me know how they help you.
