Who We Are
The creation of The Health Hub started some two years ago when its founders, Jonathan Kennett, Lilian MacMillan and Donald and Julia Scott discovered a shared interest in starting a centre for complementary health services that would be of service to the wider community and bring access to some specialist facilities not easily accessible through other channels. The Health Hub has found an ideal home in what was the village store at the iconic Victorian era Quarriers Village which nestles between Kilmacolm and Bridge of Weir.

Diane Chalmers
Chartered Physiotherapist
Diane is our Chartered Physiotherapist here at the Health Hub. She qualified from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2011, then continued as a part time student to study a Masters degree in Physiotherapy in the musculoskeletal field. She has over a decade of experience in both the NHS and private sector.
Diane takes a holistic yet detail-orientated approach to working with the human body. Given her unique set of skills and experience, she often provides an entirely fresh perspective on her clients’ pain and movement issues. She loves to reignite people’s hope and finally offer them effective solutions to moving and feeling better again – regardless of how long they’ve had symptoms.
She often notices important things about the way people move that have been overlooked and unconsidered in the past. This is largely due to her integrating ground-breaking teachings from Anatomy in Motion (AiM) and CranioSacral Therapy (CST) – both of which view the body as it is – one whole interconnected system.
Diane has a special interest in biomechanics – how structures such as bones, joints and muscles of the whole body move and interact with each other. She has trained extensively through AiM – a unique whole body philosophy & approach which is highly effective in identifying and addressing the root cause of a problem.
Alongside AiM, Diane applies CST – a subtle, gentle hands-on therapy which allows her to identify less obvious and deep rooted restrictions in the body. Through gentle traction techniques, she can release them in a way which therapeutic movement or other treatments may not.
