This led to a good understanding of sporting injuries and rehabilitation, and began my interest in the relationship between the structure, function and the overall health of the body, leading me naturally to be an osteopath.
I moved to the Notley area of Essex and began my own business as well as commuting and working for Stowmarket Osteopaths, a group practice in Suffolk.
I treat a wide variety of patients, with acute and chronic medical conditions. My patients encompass a range of people from farmers, sportsmen to office workers, children and to the elderly. I have a keen interest in treating complex health conditions and the elderly.
I work with a lot of pregnant and post partum mums, TMJ, headaches and Dizziness, bowel and bladder issues
I am studying Bio-dynamic osteopathy and I am currently studying a women health post graduate course .
