Osteopathy in Exeter and Teignmouth

for Children and Adults

Osteopathy is a gentle form of treatment that can help with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and related problems. Osteopaths see the body as a whole, as a unit of body, mind and spirit, and we take all aspects into account when we treat.  Osteopaths try to improve function (e.g. the mobility of a joint) as well as structure (e.g. postural habits from sitting a lot), but we also look at other aspects that can affect your health and wellbeing, e.g. lifestyle and your emotional experiences. I have a special interest in cranial osteopathy and work with different techniques (cranial, fascial work, stretches and gentle mobilisation and manipulation of joints).

I am an experienced Osteopath and have gained a fellowship with the SCCO (Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy) and also a Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy. I have a background in massage therapy and am a trained Pilates teacher. I like treating patients of all age groups and I treat people with a wide range of acute and chronic problems, some I can help recover fully, for others osteopathy is one part of their treatment plan or an MOT to keep their bodies moving.

Problems osteopathy can help with include back pain, neck pain, joint pain, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, headaches, recovery after injuries, arthritis, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, IBS, stress related problems like difficulty relaxing, and TMJ problems (clenching teeth, clicky jaw), pelvic girdle pain or back and shoulder pain during pregnancy, reflux and irritability in babies, teenagers with aching backs from sitting a lot, postural problems like scoliosis or muscular imbalances related to sedentary work or work that includes a lot of repetition in movement, sports people, helping the body heal after an injury, etc.

If you're not sure if Osteopathy can help you, please call me or write an email. I'm happy to answer your questions before you book an appointment.

I also offer online and in-person 1-to-1 pilates/relaxation based classes for patients. These can be tailored to your individual needs.
