Overview

I am a dedicated Healthcare Professional with an enthusiastic caring approach. Osteopathy uses many of the diagnostic procedures used in conventional medical assessment and diagnosis.

The holistic patient-centred style involves a comprehensive individual assessment, taking into consideration lifestyle factors, daily stress and the working environment.
