I combine empathy with a detailed understanding of clinical anatomy in a practice that puts the individual at the centre of the consultation. I am interested in helping people to achieve a greater sense of ease in their life and use a gentle, enabling approach.
Osteopathy, which is a regulated Allied Health Profession.
My particular specialism is cranial osteopathy.
Your appointment
We will discuss your symptoms and consider their possible root causes, by considering a wide range of factors, such as ergonomic and postural factors, childhood or sports injuries, sleeping posture and background health conditions.
Advice and referrals
As a registered osteopath, I am trained to screen for medical conditions. If for any reason I believe you would not benefit from osteopathic treatment, we can discuss suitable alternatives. If it is helpful, and only with your consent, I can write a referral letter to your GP, midwife or other health professional.
Examination
Bearing all this in mind, I will then undertake a musculoskeletal examination involving an observation of your posture and simple movements. I may also take your blood pressure and test reflexes, joint mobility and muscle strength.
The way forward
After examination I will discuss my thinking with you and answer any questions you may have about your symptoms, their cause/s and your recovery. We will discuss a range of treatment approaches and jointly decide on the best way ahead.
Cranial osteopathy is suitable for all patients. It is a safe and gentle hands-on approach.
