About me
In my practice I use a mixed approach of structural and functional techniques in order to tailor the patients' needs. Within my treatments, I put my focus on a gentle patient-centred approach to identify the cause of their problems. I enjoy taking the time to understand the patients' needs and make sure I can respond to their expectations as best as I can. Whilst I enjoy taking care of all patients, I have a particular interest in treating babies and mum to be.
I graduated from the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in 2017 and have since worked in both the UK and Belgium. I also partake in teaching within the international department at the ESO. Since graduating, I have further my knowledge in paediatric osteopathy, obstetrics, visceral as well as cranial osteopathy and osteopathy within the fluid fields.
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy looking at diagnosing and treating a wide range of medical conditions. The osteopathic approach is patient-centred and is looking at restoring a balance in order for the body to function as a whole. Osteopathy can treat patients from all ages, from babies to elderly to pregnant women.
During the assessment, as osteopaths believe there may be a number of contributing factors to the symptoms, the osteopath will look at the body as a whole and may ask you further questions about trauma, environmental factors and family history during the case history in order to have a better understanding of the presenting complaint.
Osteopathy is based on the principle that the body has a self-healing mechanism, this self-healing mechanism can be altered through physical or emotional trauma etc. Osteopathic treatment can help restoring this self-healing mechanism through various types of techniques such has structural mobilisation/manipulation, visceral osteopathy, cranial osteopathy, etc.
