COVID 19/Infectious illness Health and Safety
PPE measures have been relaxed as directed by the Institute of Osteopathy so that masks are no longer required to be worn by osteopath or patient. I will happily wear a mask if you wish me to. I'm continuing to send out a brief infection form before the appointment.

As a Cheshire based Registered Osteopath with 40 years experience with adults and children , I now only provide paediatric treatments using cranial osteopathy.
My aim is to understand the sequence of events which has led to the development of symptoms and support your child back to health. My individual diagnosis and osteopathic treatment, using a highly developed sense of touch, will gently restore normal movement and return your child's body to a state of mechanical balance.
I'm registered with the General Osteopathic Council and, since qualifying as an osteopath in 1983, I've developed a particular interest in using the gentle, subtle and effective technique of Cranial Osteopathy to treat individuals from the very youngest babies and children (see Babies and Children). With older children, my treatment approach sometimes includes other osteopathic techniques such as soft tissue massage and joint articulation with postural and exercise advice tailored to the individual if appropriate. If you would like to know whether your baby or child's particular condition is suitable for osteopathic treatment please contact me.
I maintain good relationships with local doctorsl, health visitors and midwives as well as complementary health practitioners and, with your consent, may refer back to to the GP or to other health care providers if necessary.
