With over three decades of professional experience, I have dedicated my career to osteopathic practice, serving the Faringdon community for more than 20 years. My approach combines traditional osteopathic techniques with tailored treatment plans, addressing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

My commitment to continuous professional development ensures patients receive up-to-date care, incorporating methods such as sports massage and joint mobilisation. I prioritise patient education, offering lifestyle advice and exercises to complement treatments.My practice caters to individuals of all ages, from young children to elderly patients, with a particular focus on improving mobility for older adults. I maintain professional registration with the General Osteopathic Council, adhering to strict standards of practice and ethics. My treatment philosophy emphasizes holistic care, addressing the root causes of pain rather than just symptoms. I offer flexible appointment times, including evenings, to accommodate patients' needs. This combination of experience, accessibility, and patient-centred care defines my practice's approach to osteopathy.
