The Clinic

Our Canterbury clinic was established in 1997. Andrew Buckley took over as owner, having managed the clinic for several years in 2006. Since then the clinic has been re-branded as TEAM BUCKLEY and has extended its scope. It is now a multi-disciplinary clinic providing osteopathy, physiotherapy , sports Therapy and deep tissue Massage.

Our aim is to address re-occurring problems by indentifying the potential causes of the problem and not just the symptoms and provide optimal rehabilitation and self help stategies.

All of our therapists are registered with the relevant regulatory bodies for their profession(s).
