About us

Our Canterbury clinic was established in 1998. Andrew Buckley took over as owner, having managed the clinic for several years in 2006. Since then the clinic has been re-branded as TEAM BUCKLEY and has extended its scope. It is now a multi-disciplinary clinic providing Osteopathy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry and Chiropody, Sports Therapy, Massage Therapy and Dietetics.

Our aim is to address reoccurring problems by identifying and treating the root cause.
