The Hive Health

Getting better doesn’t necessarily look the same for everyone.

It might mean sleeping more comfortably, finding work easier, getting back to a hobby you’ve missed, being able to play with your children, walking the dog without thinking twice about it, or returning to sport. The things that matter are different for everyone.

That’s why one of the things we want to understand when you come to The Hive Health is what your problem is actually stopping you from doing, or making more difficult.

Those things help us understand what progress means for you, rather than looking at symptoms in isolation.

Because the goal isn’t for everybody to achieve the same thing - it’s to help you work towards the things that matter to you. 🐝

If running, lifting weights, gardening, gaming, crafting, playing an instrument, playing sport — or anything else you enjoy — matters to you, we want to know that.

Sometimes a painful problem does mean an activity needs to be temporarily adapted. But our aim isn't automatically to tell you to stop doing the things you enjoy.

At your appointment we'll look at what you're experiencing, what seems to aggravate it, what you're hoping to be able to do, and whether there are sensible ways to modify things while you recover.

That might mean changing how long you spend doing something, taking more breaks, adjusting position, or temporarily changing the frequency, load or intensity. For others, very little needs to change.

Advice should fit the person in front of us — and the things that matter to them.

One of the things we stand by in clinic is that the plan should change as you do.

At the start, we make recommendations based on what you’ve come in with, what we find and what you want to get back to doing.

But that doesn’t mean everything is mapped out from day one.

As things change, we might change the treatment, alter your exercises, focus on something different, or start spacing appointments out more.

Sometimes people progress quicker than expected. Sometimes something takes a bit longer. Sometimes the thing we thought would matter most at the start ends up being less important a few weeks later.

That’s why we keep reviewing as we go.

People never cease to surprise me, and that’s honestly one of the nicest parts of the job.

A First Visit at The Hive Health is £65, and that includes your assessment and, where appropriate, treatment at that first appointment.

We’ll talk through what we think is going on, what your options are and, if we think further treatment could help, what we’d suggest and why.

That includes the practical side too — how often we’d recommend seeing you, what we’re aiming to achieve and what that might mean in terms of time and cost.

There isn’t a set plan that everyone gets. It should be a conversation, and something that feels realistic for you.

And if we don’t think we’re the right people to help, we’ll tell you that too and point you in the right direction.

The aim is that you leave your First Visit with a much clearer idea of what’s going on and what happens next. 🐝

A huge thank you to everyone who’s recommended The Hive Health to a friend, family member or colleague recently.

So many new patients find us through word of mouth, and knowing someone has trusted us enough to send someone they care about our way is honestly one of the nicest compliments we can get.

As a thank you, when someone you refer comes in for their First Visit, we’ll add 5 bonus points to your account. Once you reach 20 points, you can use them for a free chiropractic or osteopathy session.

They’ll also get £5 off their First Visit.

Thank you, as always, for recommending us. It really does mean everything 💛🐝

£219.56 raised! 🙌

A massive thank you to everyone who donated to our Hive Community Fund — we raised an amazing £219.56 for Positive Outcomes Play Service NPT.

We absolutely love seeing how all the little donations add up — whether you’ve popped some change in the pot or picked up one of the crafts we have in reception. We’ve even got 3D-printed keyrings and fidget toys made by Polly’s son, Ioan, in there now!

This month we’re raising money for .a.n_community Alliance, another brilliant local organisation doing great things in our community.

As always, there’s absolutely no pressure to donate, but if you’re in clinic and fancy having a nose at what we’ve got, everything raised goes into the Community Fund. 🐝

“Polly has helped me so much with my back pain. She always makes the process clear and understandable. Would recommend to anyone!”

We really do try to make sure you know what we think is going on, what we’re doing and why — so it’s always lovely when that comes through in your feedback too.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. They mean a lot to our little team 🐝

“Megan was very knowledgeable and listened closely to my answers, pinpointing the cause of my pain.”

We always love hearing that someone felt listened to when they came to see us. Taking the time to hear what’s been going on, ask the right questions and properly understand what someone is experiencing is such an important part of what we do.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave us feedback — we really do appreciate every one. 🐝

Did you know you may be able to access funded care if a muscle or joint problem is affecting you at work? 🐝

“Would highly recommend Arwel to anyone. Extremely knowledgeable and patient. Always feel in safe hands!”

Like any small business, when someone takes the time to leave us a lovely review, it genuinely means the world to us (and yes, there is usually a little happy dance involved 💃🕺).

One of the things we really want at The Hive Health is for people to feel comfortable when they come to see us. Taking that first step, trusting someone new and not quite knowing what to expect can feel a little daunting.

And hearing that Arwel Roberts Osteopathy made someone feel comfortable and put them at ease is just lovely, because that’s genuinely so important to us.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave us a review. We really, really do appreciate every one. 🐝
