Health conscious clients help boost growth

A Midlands-based natural therapy charity has expanded into new premises after a surge in interest from health conscious clients.

Omega Therapies Natural Therapy Centre & Training School has taken 1,376 sq ft premises at Newton House, Hewell Road, Redditch, helped by property agents John Truslove.

And partner Joe Baker says a more natural approach to addressing the stresses of modern life continues to be very much in vogue.

“We are living in more of a high pressure environment and many people are fed up of conventional medicine. So they are turning to us.”

He added: “We deal with a lot of clients who live a hectic lifestyle – they need chill-out time for themselves.

“This is about enabling them to take control of their own well-being, reduce stress and anxiety, and help them to better cope with the challenges that daily life can bring.”

The centre, which primarily offers a range of massages, also finds keen sportsmen and women, plus gym enthusiasts, look to it to ease aches and pains and muscle tightness.

A team of therapists are backed up by an administrator and volunteers.

Omega, previously based in the town’s Unicorn Hill, had struggled to find alternative premises before settling on Newton House.

Mr Baker said: “The move has been a very positive success, and service users are able to enjoy their treatments in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

“We are particularly competitive on price, making for affordability even in these difficult economic times.”

John Truslove director Ian Parker said: “We are pleased that Omega managed to find a suitable location.

“Most of us are so much more health conscious these days – it is very definitely a growth sector.”

Omega has agreed a five year lease on the first floor unit.
