Dr Amanda Hannaford

Specialties

Amanda Hannaford achieved her Masters of Osteopathy in 2002, and has been in private practice in the Lane Cove and St Leonards areas for the past 12 years. She was a university lecturer in the UWS Masters program for 4 years, and has also been a registration board examiner. In addition she has a graduate diploma in Applied Acupuncture for Musculo-​skeletal conditions.

She specialises in treating the root cause of a patients problem, which is not necessarily where the patient is experiencing pain or symptoms. Finding the source and then correcting the issue can result in resolving the problem entirely, providing great relief and a wonderful improvement in a patients quality of life.

Amanda treats all manner of issues in this way, however she is best known for her ability to treat neck and back pain quickly, safely and with long lasting relief for her patients. She also specialises hip, shoulder and elbow pain, and recurrent foot and ankle pain.

She has worked with elite athletes, dancers, young children, the elderly and everyone in between, as the principles of osteopathy remain the same — aiming to return the body to how it was designed to move in nature. This provides pain relief, freedom of movement, and a new lease on life.
