5) Where can I park or where are the nearest bus stops?
	There is ample parking at the front of the clinic. Alternatively, the numbers 16 and 26 bus routes stop outside the BP garage going off the island and again on the corner of Green Avenue and Long Road going back into town.

Osteopaths are primarily interested in mobility (how well - or not - the body is moving) and consider that pain is most often caused by lack of mobility. Osteopaths therefore work to improve a patient's mobility and by improving the freedom of their movement, the body can work better. Physiotherapists usually work to rehabilitate the body after injury or surgery and consider that pain is caused by muscle weakness, so their focus is mainly on strengthening the muscles.
