What our patients say
Nothing makes us happier than the positive feedback we get from our clients.
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.
Jekka McVicar, VMH
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.
Valerie – Portishead
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.

kathryn & steve
Kathryn and Steve joined the team at Walnut Grove Clinic in 2007, having relocated from working in Suffolk for 5 years plus after they graduated in 2002 and 2003 (respectively) from the former British School of Osteopathy, now known at the University College of Osteopathy. Little did they know this would lead to them taking over the clinic 15 years later.
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.
