Our Story
Mardi Jamieson always wanted to offer people something different. After qualifying as both an osteopath and a naturopath in 1994, she spent several years treating patients across the UK: farmers in Lincolnshire, ex-professional rugby players in Cardiff, and all sorts in between. In 1999, she brought her skills to South London, opening her first clinic on Acre Lane under the name Brixton Back Pain Clinic.
Three years later, the clinic moved to its current home on Brixton Road, and Brixton Therapy Centre was born. The new name said it all: this was never just a back pain clinic. Mardi's vision was to build something genuinely integrated, a place where patients could access a wide range of complementary therapies under one roof and be treated as whole people, not just a set of symptoms.
What We Believe In
More than twenty-five years on, that vision still shapes everything we do. We believe good care takes time. That listening matters as much as treating. And that the best outcomes come when practitioners actually talk to each other.
Mardi puts it well: "My aim has always been to offer clients a fully integrated complementary health care service. While most people come in for back or neck pain, we know that health is complex. That's why we work closely as a team, referring to acupuncture for inflammation, or to our massage therapists for stress relief, so each person gets the most appropriate care. I know and trust every therapist here, and I refer with complete confidence."
That integrated approach is what sets us apart. When you come to BTC, you're not just booking a single appointment with a single therapist. You're accessing a team who know each other, communicate with each other, and are genuinely invested in getting you the right kind of help.
Our Team
Mardi stepped back from hands-on treatment during the pandemic, but she remains at the heart of the clinic: involved in the day-to-day running and deeply committed to mentoring the team she has built around her. Many of our practitioners have been here for years. Some since the very beginning.
Together, we offer osteopathy, massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy, and shockwave therapy, alongside a range of specialist services including women's health, fertility support, pregnancy care, postnatal recovery, and treatment for babies and young children. Whatever brings you to us, there's a good chance someone here can help. And if we think a colleague is better placed to treat you, we'll always say so.

Our Community
Over more than two decades, BTC has become part of the fabric of this neighbourhood. We've treated entire families and watched babies grow into teenagers. We've been there for people through pregnancies, injuries, recoveries, and everything life has thrown at them. Our patients come from Brixton, Clapham, Herne Hill, Stockwell, and further afield, and many have been coming to us for years.
We're proud of that. It's something we never take for granted.
We're based at 510 Brixton Road, London SW9 8EN, and we're open seven days a week, with appointments available from early morning through to the evening.
