Core Clapton

Health, Happiness and Movement

Core Clapton was founded to bring health, happiness and movement to the whole community.

Based in an Edwardian hall in Clapton we offer classes, activities and therapies specialising in Osteopathy.

As a registered charity we provide affordable osteopathy to those in the community that can'tafford it while encouraging best practice through research and learning, with a long-term mission to encourage drug-free pain relief across all healthcare professions.

We stand for the equality of health and wellbeing: we believe everybody has the right to a pain free life. Osteopathy can restore health and function, helping people get back to doing what theyenjoy most, but we place equal importance on the tools to keep bodies working to their full potential, promoting activities and habits for a healthier lifestyle and providing a good understanding of how bodies work.

We offer concessions or subsidised rates for many of these classes as well as the osteopathysessions to ensure that our centre is accessible to all.
