Fiveways was founded in 2018 by Joe Robson following a career of 17 years as an acupuncturist. Previously the building had a long history as a therapy centre going under the name of Wainwrights. In its most recent incarnation the building has undergone substantial renovation and refurbishment.

The Clinic has a beautiful light and airy feel and is situated in the leafy suburb of Sharrow Head, bordering Nether Edge and Sharrow Vale.
