Master of Osteopathy
My journey with osteopathy began at the age of twelve, right here in Bramhall. I came to this clinic as a patient and I was fascinated by how gentle treatment could make such a big difference to how I felt. That experience is what led me into this profession.
It means a lot to now be the principal osteopath in the same clinic where that interest first began.
My focus is always on understanding the root cause of pain, not just treating symptoms. Treatment with me is hands on, but also supported by clear, practical exercises so you can take control of your own recovery and feel confident in your body again.
I enjoy treating a wide variety of people and presentations. Whether it is a long term niggle that has been ignored or an acute new pain that has stopped you in your tracks, I am interested in understanding why your body has reacted the way it has and what we can do to support it back to balance.
I continue to build on my osteopathic training with ongoing education in areas including medical acupuncture, advanced spinal manipulation, shoulder complex treatment, kinesiology taping and TENS. This commitment to lifelong learning helps me offer care that is thoughtful, individual and effective.
My goal is simple. To help you move better, feel better and get back to the things you enjoy.
