Core Clapton

Health, Happiness and Movement Core Clapton is a charity that provides affordable osteopathy to the local community, and helps people live healthy and happy lives through activities that encourage movement and physical and mental wellbeing. Making health and wellbeing affordable for all . While leading a healthy lifestyle has become a choice for many people in London, the cost of treatment and preventative healthcare is prohibitive for many others – especially those in chronic pain. Located in the second poorest borough in London, CORE Clapton offers a space for the local community to access services usually reserved for those who can afford it – with osteopathy sessions from £15 an hour and yoga and dance classes from £2 an hour. Since we opened in 2017, hundreds of people have benefitted from affordable osteopathy and wellness classes. Everyone has a right to a pain free life Chronic pain prevents people from living their lives. Each year 31m work days are lost in the UK as a result of back pain. Too often scans, injections and opioids are offered as the answer – when prevention and pain management can offer better solutions. At CORE we give people the tools to keep their body working to its full potential by providing a good understanding of how your body works and promoting activities and habits for you to lead a healthier lifestyle.
