Welcome to Frameworks Clinic in Verwood, Dorset
Private MSK Clinic in Verwood, Dorset
We aim to support shorter treatment cycles and faster recovery, or we refer.
A structured, low-force approach to back, neck and joint pain, using a consistent 4-step MSK protocol tailored to you over 2 to 4 weeks.
The method
No cracking. No forceful adjustments.
No long-term treatment plans. Just precise, targeted, technology-assisted treatment.
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 moreThe Frameworks difference
We identify a specific bio-mechanical pattern; we only treat patients who display symptoms related to this pattern. If we can't see this pattern in a patient, we do not treat and discuss other options.
Rather than focusing solely on increasing movement, we focus on restoring stability, which is linked to overall natural mobility. Using precise, technology-assisted adjustments, our focus is helping the body achieve a more stable mechanical position. That's why our Foundation Protocols are completed in just 4 appointments over 2 to 4 weeks.
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.
How we compare
A shorter treatment pathway can mean lower overall costs.
Our protocol consists of 4 treatment sessions delivered over 2 to 4 weeks. By comparison, conventional physiotherapy and chiropractic care often involve a variable number of appointments over a longer period, depending on the patient's condition and response to treatment. We base our approach on addressing the physical patterns we see again and again in the patients we treat. If, on examination at the free assessment, we don't find that pattern, we'll tell you honestly and won't put you through treatment that isn't right for you.
Why we only recommend 4 sessions in the Foundation Phase
Our experience has shown that many patients respond well to a focused programme of four treatments delivered over 2–4 weeks.
The goal is simple: help patients improve as efficiently as possible, without committing them to long-term treatment plans.
When patients respond, they complete the Foundation pathway quickly. When they do not, we refer them back to their GP for further assessment.
That's better for clarity, better for accountability, and often better for cost.

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.
