Effective, gentle, safe structural osteopathy & cranial osteopathy in North London,Islington and Camden
I have been practicing as an osteopath in the communities of Islington and Camden, North London for over 20 years. I work with sensitivity, using a blend of both traditional osteopathy and cranial osteopathy, depending on what you need.
Clinic arrangements during COVID-19
I am working from
West Hill House, 6 Swains Lane, London N6 6QS
which is well served by public transport and is within easy reach of Gospel Oak overground. Gospel Oak overground is a short journey from both Highbury Islington or Upper Holloway stations - which is helpful for those clients who have been used to coming to the Holloway Road. The Holloway Road clinic is temporarily closed until government restrictions allow the centre to offer the usual group exercise and meditation sessions. I will update you when bookings are possible at Holloway.

Osteopathy and good health:
Pain and discomfort are often connected with restriction, congestion or stagnation in some area of our body or life. I aim to support your health by bringing an awareness to those areas of your body that need attention, as well as helping you be mindful of any areas in your life that might be out of balance and affecting you - like your lifestyle and daily activities. For example you might not be moving enough, or perhaps you could be doing too much and not allowing yourself time to recuperate.
A vicious circle of pain, muscle contraction, and restricted movement followed by more pain, might have come about after injury or when we've been under a lot of pressure and perhaps not able to look after ourselves as well as we could have done. This might be accompanied by tiredness and low energy. Osteopathy can help break this vicious circle.
An osteopathy session can typically include gentle rocking movements of your neck, spine, arms and legs, and gentle holding approaches to help relaxation, release of tension, and to free up restricted joints and tight muscles.

Osteopathic treatment and stress
Treatment encourages the body to release into a deeper, more restorative rhythm. On a physical level this can help improve tissue nutrition and drainage, and recovery from injury. The beneficial effects of treatment on the nervous system often result in people reporting a feeling of increased balance, wellbeing and aliveness after treatment.
If you've had an injury:
After strains and minor sports injuries treatment can help reduce pain and swelling, and encourage healing. By looking at what may have contributed to problems in the first place we can help prevent trouble in the future.
Electro magnetic radiation, wifi, mobile phones and health
Many of us benefit from the internet. That said, there’s been a lot in the news over the last year or so about how we need a break from, and time to process, the ongoing information available online. Apart from taking a break from continually absorbing the mental information itself, our bodies also need time to recuperate away from wifi and sources of electro magnetic radiation (EMF), especially at night. If we dont do this we risk affecting our health. Look at the Resources page for more information about how to protect yourself from over exposure to EMF, wifi, 5G etc
