It was her martial art / sport, that led her to Osteopathy, as this was her chosen method of treatment when injuries occurred.  Since the age of 14, it was Lucy’s aim to train to be an Osteopath, as she felt the combined experience from years of training would mesh well with this profession, and likewise the knowledge gained from her studies, would enhance her training and coaching.

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY

Osteopathy is a system of complementary medicine, involving the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical disorders, through the manipulation and massage, of the musculoskeletal system.  Osteopathy is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual, depends on the systems of the body functioning synergistically.

Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, cranial techniques, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help the body’s own healing mechanisms.

As part of the treatment plan advice may be given on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.
