£250,000 investment for Harrogate wellness business expansion
A Harrogate wellness business has expanded with a £250,000 investment.
The investment at OneWellness, which launched in Harrogate’s Mowbray Square in March last year,has added consultation rooms to the second floor of the 300m2 building, allowing the introduction of additional wellness services including dermatology, physiotherapy & sports medicine and therapy.
Rachel Beverley-Stevenson, chief executive of OneMedicalGroup, said: “With member numbers increasing, and seeing the genuine need for the facilities OneWellness offers, it made sense to invest in growing the services we provide at our Harrogate centre.
“There’s a clear shift towards encouraging people to take a proactive role in managing their health and wellness, whatever their current level of ability or their lifestyle choices. It’s such a positive step to take, and one that can make a real difference in terms of turning lives around – but people need the tools and the support to make those changes.”
OneWellness is part of OneMedicalGroup, a national provider of health and wellness services. The aim of the OneWellness offer is to support people to stay fit and well for life, offering patients bespoke services from an expert team of clinicians in areas including physiotherapy, fitness, dermatology and mental health along with traditional family medicine. OneWellness take a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
The idea behind OneWellness came from the NHS’ refocus towards preventative care, in order to tackle potential health problems before they become a major risk. The centre provides access to wellness services, backed with scientific evidence, from a clinician led team. Facilities include an exercise studio, treatment & therapy rooms and a fully equipped fitness suite for those needing treatment or wishing to enhance their general mobility, fitness or sporting performance either on an ad hoc basis – or through a membership.
In May this year, OneWellness brought its first lifestyle GP to the team, TV presenter Dr Helen Lawal. Dr Helen is well known for presenting popular Channel 4 TV shows How to Stay Well and Food Unwrapped, and she provides a health and body transformation programme for patients needing coaching and support.
