Amy qualified from the European School of Osteopathy in 1993 and is registered with the General Osteopathic Council, the governing body for Osteopaths. In her career as a registered osteopath Amy has worked in a number of different environments and spent a period working in the NHS in a pilot project to incorporate Osteopathic services into the Outpatients Department of a Worcestershire hospital.  She ran a busy practice in Worcester before moving to Cheshire in 2006.

Amy aims to create a comfortable and professional environment where patients are able to relax and are able to work with Amy to formulate a treatment approach that suits each individual according to that individual’s needs and goals from treatment. The individual care of each client is of the utmost importance to Amy and her priority is to provide a focused and individually tailored approach to treatment.

She regularly attend seminars and lectures to keep abreast of the latest developments and techniques and always works closely with other practitioners,  medical or complementary who may be involved in her clients’ care. An added advantage for Amy is that there are highly qualified personal trainers in the same premises who are able to help assist with rehabilitation programmes where necessary and so ensure that there is the opportunity to provide the best setting for longer term self management for the each individual client. She uses a wide range of treatment approaches in her practice including soft tissue massage, mobilisation, manipulation, fascial release techniques and Cranio-Sacral Osteopathy.

She is a registered provider for all of the major private health insurance companies though often a letter of referral is needed from your GP for treatment to be authorised.

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a system of treatment developed by an American, Andrew Taylor Still in 1864. The basis of his philosophy was that “structure governs function governs structure” and so Osteopathy has developed as a form of treatment that aims to restore biomechanical function to the body through the application of manual techniques. Osteopathy was brought to Britain by Martin Littlejohn in 1902 and has grown in popularity and recognition. The Osteopaths Act passed in 1993 meant that all practitioners using the term “Osteopath” are regulated by statute and must adhere to the code of conduct and professional standards set by the General Osteopathic Council.
