Lordswood Osteopathic Clinic

General information

I was born and have lived in Chatham all of my life, so when choosing where to open my osteopathic clinic, I always knew it would be in my local area of Lordswood so that I could offer help to the local community with their muscle, joint or back pain.
Since opening the practice in 2010, it has grown significantly so that it now offers two treatment rooms and a really relaxed and calm waiting room for patients.
Our services have grown too so that now we not only offer osteopathy and cranial osteopathy, we also offer sports massage and medical acupuncture.
As well as working at the practice, I teach the undergraduate osteopathic students at the European School of Osteopathy, Boxley, Maidstone. I teach them clinical neurology which is the assessment of the nervous system and is I feel, one of the most important parts of osteopathy. This special interest of mine has allowed me to help patients with neurological based problems such as disc injuries (prolapses), neurological migraines and strokes.
I consider osteopathy to be very effective due to the wide range of different techniques available to the osteopath which allows each treatment to be suited to the individual patient. This means that treatment can be very successful but also means that the patient is very relaxed and confident within their treatment and rehabilitation stretches and exercises.
