Welcome to Frameworks Clinic in Verwood, Dorset
Private MSK Clinic in Verwood, Dorset
We take a different approach to aiding patients on their journey to becoming pain free and focus on making the journey as painless as possible.
If you have back, knee, neck, shoulder pain or sciatica, our highly trained and skilled practitioners can help decide your next steps.
We have identified and treated a consistent source of pain in more than 7,000 patients, many of whom have had long term pain. They sought our help for back, neck and joint pain, using our structured and gentle approach.
The method
No cracking. No forceful adjustments.
Precise, targeted, technology-assisted treatment. Our basic treatment plan (Foundation Phase), which aims to achieve pain relief quickly, occurs step by step in either 2 (accelerated) or 4 weeks, depending on the package. If patients are suffering with long term pain, this approach allows us to be strategic about the management of their condition.
Conditions
Everyday & complex MSK pain
Back Pain
Precise, low-impact treatment for acute, persistent, and disc-related back pain. Our approach focuses on identifying and addressing the structural and biomechanical factors that may be contributing to your symptoms, with the aim of supporting longer-term improvement.
Learn moreKnee Pain
Osteoarthritis and front-of-knee (patellofemoral) pain. We assess the whole chain (back, pelvis, hip, ankle), because the knee doesn't act alone.
Learn moreSciatica
Sciatica and generalised leg pain can have different causes. Our approach begins with a detailed assessment to understand your symptoms and identify factors that may be contributing.
Learn moreNeck Pain
From tech neck and desk posture to headaches and nerve pain down the arm. Precise, upright, gentle treatment with no forceful manipulation.
Learn moreSports Injuries
For minor sports injuries, our approach is stabilisation-first, then a graded return to training. We assess each injury on its own terms and give you an honest, realistic timescale.
Learn moreShoulder Pain
Rotator cuff, impingement, soft-tissue strain, and referred nerve pain from the neck. We assess the whole bio mechanical chain.
Learn moreFrameworks - Striving to make a difference
The faster you improve, the happier we are. We aim to achieve pain relief as soon as possible.
Our approach is designed to complement established treatment methods by supporting precise joint positioning during rehabilitation.
If you've had persistent back or neck pain, this approach could be suitable as part of your rehabilitation programme.
We are also committed to being cost effective, (ask our clinicians how we achieve this depending on your condition.)
The Foundation Phase
How our 4-step protocol works
At our clinic, having identified the specific bio mechanical patterns, we use a consistent, four-step framework designed to support your body's natural alignment and work toward lasting pain relief. While we follow the same thorough steps with every patient, your hands-on care during each in-person appointment is always adapted to your unique physical needs. Depending upon whether it is lower back/lower limb or upper back (neck/thoracic)/upper limb, we apply the same principles to both sets of vertebra.
Step 1
Week 1
Addressing Hip / Lower Neck Alignment
We begin by evaluating the pelvis/lower neck. We use targeted physical techniques aimed at balancing the hip/lower neck position and relieving localised joint stress.
Step 2
Week 2
Supporting Side-to-Side Spinal Balance
Next, we focus on the lateral plane. We use targeted physical techniques aimed at easing muscle strain and support the natural side-to-side alignment of your spine.
Step 3
Week 3
Targeting Front-to-Back Spinal Posture
We then look at your profile view. We use targeted physical techniques aimed to address your front-to-back posture and reduce pressure on the lower back and neck.
Step 4
Week 4/5
Fine-Tuning Remaining Areas
We finish by checking other related joint pains. We gently fine-tune any remaining spots of muscle tightness and joint alignment to help encourage overall physical comfort.

Esther Skinner

Excellent service. I always feel listened too and have any required treatment explained fully. I never feel pressured to rebook but rather genuinely cared for.
Ashley Hockley

Very professional polite service. Dr Sanyal was excellent and the service was excellent as well I couldn't recommend them enough
Andrew Woodhouse

Excellent treatment and service again today. I have been a patient for around 20 years and cannot recommend highly enough.
Common questions
No. We use gentle very small, precise movements, assisted by technology. No cracking, no forceful thrust, and no sudden manipulation. Many patients tell us they are surprised by how gentle the treatment feels.
All patients complete a four-treatment Foundation Phase, delivered over 2 to 4 weeks, depending upon the pathway they choose. After that, we recommend they return occasionally for management. This is a shorter and more defined treatment pathway than many musculoskeletal treatment plans, which may involve a variable number of appointments depending on the condition, practitioner and patient response. For many patients, fewer appointments can also mean lower overall treatment costs. Because the number of appointments is fixed and clearly defined, many patients find the overall cost compares favourably with longer treatment programmes.
Because our focus is skeletal stability, which is linked to overall natural mobility, and we have a clearly defined goal with every patient. Remove the patterns we originally saw at assessment. Many treatments are designed to improve movement. Our Core Integrity Protocols focus on restoring and maintaining stability through skeletal positioning. It's a different philosophy, a different treatment pathway, and a different experience. That's why treatment begins with a defined four-session Foundation Phase rather than an open-ended programme of care.
There can be many reasons why symptoms persist, even when you've followed an exercise programme carefully. Exercises are important, but they are not always the first step. One possibility is that the body may not have enough skeletal stability and a structurally neutral position, for those exercises to achieve their full effect. Our approach is based on the belief that the body needs a stable foundation before strength and mobility work can deliver their full benefit. Our Core Integrity Protocols are based on the principle that restoring skeletal stability should come before building muscle strength and natural movement. Once that foundation is in place, exercise often becomes easier, more comfortable and more productive.
Yes. It is a free 15-minute Pre-Foundation Assessment, with no obligation. We check whether our approach is right for your case, whether you have the patterns consistent with all our patients. If it is not and there is no pattern, we will point you elsewhere.
