What to expect
Listening first
Your first appointment starts with a conversation about your history, your life and what you are noticing in your body. This will include any relevant orthopaedic and neural testing and may include your first chiropractic adjustment.Your pace
You're never tied into a plan. Some people come for a short course of care; others choose to check in from time to time. We'll decide together what feels right for you.Steady care, not quick fixes
Change in the body usually takes time. Often it takes a few visits to see how you're responding, so we'll review your progress together and adjust as we go.Working with you
Alongside your treatment, I'll share simple guidance on posture, breathing, movement and everyday stress, so the care carries on between visits.What I can help with

Meet Melody Mussell MChiro BA(hons)
I'm Melody, a chiropractor and artist in Exeter. For me, these aren't two separate lives. Both come from the same belief: that the body has its own intelligence, and we're at our best when we listen to it.
Before chiropractic, I worked with deaf children, and I can communicate in British Sign Language (BSL). So if you or a family member is Deaf, you're very welcome. Just mention it when you book.
I hold an integrated master's in chiropractic (MChiro), trained in McTimoney technique, and I'm registered with the General Chiropractic Council (06500).
I've painted for decades, since my Fine Art degree at Falmouth. Chiropractic and painting have taught me the same thing: there's always more going on beneath the surface than we can see.
I'm registered with the General Chiropractic Council (06500) and a member of the McTimoney Chiropractic Association.

That's completely understandable. McTimoney is a gentle, whole body, light-touch technique, and I'll explain each step before we begin. Adjustments are light, quick and precise. Some people feel a little sore or tired for a day or two afterwards, which usually passes quickly. You're always free to ask questions, pause or stop. Most people find it relaxing.
