'I've always had a keen interest in sports and the way the body works and performs whilst being active. I play a lot of sport myself so understand how you can feel from one week to the next or from one session to the next. I find it incredibly interesting to get an understanding of each patient, what they think and what their body tells me. I like to use this information to plan and tailor a treatment which will work for my patient and their aims going forwards'.
Why Osteopathy?
It can help with
Sciatica
Sciatica is when the sciatic nerve gets pinched or irritated. Symptoms can include pain, burning, pins and needles and numbness down the back of the thigh and calf. Sciatica affects people differently depending on what's affecting the nerve. Osteopathy can help to discover the cause of your sciatica and how to treat it.
Muscle spasm
A muscle spasm is an involuntary cramping or tightening of the muscle fibres. It can often cause pain, stiffness and twitching of the affected muscle or muscle group. Osteopathy can help to relieve this discomfort and quicken your recovery time.
Back pain
Back pain can be caused by a wide variety of injuries and conditions and affects people of all ages. Osteopathy can help to find the cause of your back pain and can help to treat and manage your symptoms.
Digestion and circulation problems
Osteopathy can help to improve some digestion and circulatory problems. Using information about your past medical history and lifestyle, osteopathic treatment will be adapted specifically for you in an effort to restore balance back to your body.
Arthritic pain
Gentle osteopathic treatment has been shown to help people suffering with the symptoms of arthritis.
Headache
Headaches can be attributed to lots of factors and it can sometimes be difficult to determine the cause. However osteopathy can be beneficial for people suffering with headaches and migraines.

'I came to Christina with intense lower back pain and emerged already well on the road to recovery. Her priceless blend of expertise and empathy was exactly what I was looking for. I have since been back for a follow up session and look forward to many more, as and when needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christina to anyone: thank you very much!'
J.K
'Before I started going to Christina I was getting headaches at least once every 2 weeks which lasted 3 days. I've been having a sports massage once a week for a few months now on my back and neck and I can honestly say I have not had one headache. Christina is very professional and I feel very relaxed with her. I can't recommend enough.'
E.B
'So pleased with Christina, she is warm and friendly and made me feel very comfortable. After being in a car crash a few years back I sustained serious neck and shoulder injuries, the doctors have not been helpful at all but Christina has been amazing it's the first time in years I feel like I actually have someone taking me seriously and helping me with the issues. My neck and shoulder have not been this good in years!!'
C.R
