The Moving Body

Specialties

As an Osteopath with a background in Sports Science and personal training, I specialise in providing treatment for sports injuries, particularly for runners, cyclists, golfers, tennis-​players and swimmers. I have lots of experience of working with people from all walks of life, including office workers with posture-​related pain, pregnant women, new mothers, dancers, musicians and older people with conditions such as osteoarthritis.

Business Owner

Prior to setting up The Moving Body in Balham, I worked as an Osteopath at The Osteopathic Centre in Singapore for almost three years. My journey as a manual therapist started during my diploma in Sports Therapy in Northern Ireland and continued during my degree in Sports Science at Roehampton University. I further developed my skills and knowledge by working as a Sports Therapist and personal trainer before gaining a degree in Osteopathy.

My interest in the effectiveness of Osteopathy developed when I was working as a Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist at The Abbots Langley Clinic in Herdtfordshire where I worked closely with the team of Osteopaths and was able to see first-​hand how effective Osteopathic treatments could be.

The three most important things that I have learnt as a therapist are that good hands-​on manual therapy skills, an in-​depth knowledge of exercise prescription and excellent people skills are key to helping patients recover effectively from pain!
