ABOUT US
Welcome to The Penn Clinic. We are a long-standing multidisciplinary clinic dedicated to providing personalised, evidence-informed treatment plans through a team of highly qualified practitioners committed to patient wellbeing.
Established in 1979 by the clinic founder Caroline Penn, the clinic has proudly served the local community for over four decades. In 2017, the directorship was passed to Alex Bidlake-Corser, who continued to expand and develop the clinic’s reputation for high-quality care.
Following Caroline’s retirement, the clinic entered a new chapter in December 2025 under the ownership and directorship of Vishal Parshad. Today, The Penn Clinic continues its tradition of compassionate, patient-centred healthcare while embracing a modern, integrative approach to physical and mental wellbeing.
Our aim at The Penn Clinic is not only to treat, restore and improve but to also get to the root of why the problem is happening in the first place to stop a repeat problem recurring. We look at the individual’s overall lifestyle from exercise, nutrition to general health and wellbeing to get to the root of the issue. We offer a multidisciplinary service and are much more than just ‘manual therapy’.
We have a beautiful Pilates studio within the clinic. Pilates has complimented our treatments for many of our client’s. Our team of practitioners liaise regularly with the Pilates teacher giving updates on an individual's needs and progress. Pilates helps to reduce pain, increases range of movement and helps towards recovery of injuries.
Alex and the team of practitioners are active in both research and lecturing. Some of the team write for medical journals so are at the forefront of the latest developments in science and medicine. Looking at the individual person with both a science and holistic view is our approach to providing a unique treatment plan for the road to recovery.
