Welcome to my website
I am an Osteopath and cranial Osteopath who treats all the family - adults, babies and children.
I have been working as a registered Osteopath in Portsmouth (Southsea) and London (Bethnal Green and Primrose Hill) since qualifying from the European School of Osteopathy in 2000. To find out more about how I can help, please keep reading or arrange an appointment.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is the practice of treatment for physical conditions such as low back pain; stiffness; neck, shoulder and upper back pain; sciatica; acute & chronic injuries e.g. sustained in car accidents such as whiplash, at the gym or from a fall; tension headaches and many other conditions, by using soft tissue and manipulation techniques, cranial osteopathy and gentle functional techniques.
Osteopathy aims to restore, promote and maintain physical wellbeing. My approach is mainly with soft tissue (massage) work and cranial osteopathy which is gentle and effective. I will always use manipulation and articulation techniques when needed. I attend annual study and training in traditional cranial Osteopathy to further develop my skills. I also see my own Osteopath regularly to keep me fit and well.
I work with babies and the elderly and all ages in between! I love working in what is a truly holistic approach to healthcare and consider myself very lucky to have osteopathy in my life. Read more about osteopathy.
How can Osteopathy help?
As an osteopath, I commonly see people for whiplash, sciatica, low and upper back pain, neck and shoulder problems, work related back pain and joint problems such as knees and elbows as well as a host of other conditions. Unsettled babies, children and elderly people with aching joints all respond to gentle osteopathy. If you are unsure if osteopathy or cranial osteopathy will be likely to help you, please do give me a call: 07770 606 359 - I would be happy to talk things through with you.
“I cannot thank Elaine enough for all she did to help my 5 year old daughter. Once treatment began there were no more hospital emergency visits and we hardly ever had to use her inhaler. She changed my daughter's life.” — Sarah, Southsea.
