I    am    a    qualified    Osteopath    and    Sports therapist    with    a    BSc    Hons    in    Osteopathy from   The   College   of   Osteopaths   and   an   ITEC qualification in Sports Massage. I   have   always   been   a   keen   sports   person   having   trained   twice a   day   swimming   up   to   national   level,   as   well   as   running   up   to county   level   and   more   recently   competing   and   qualifying   for the   national   finals   in   dressage   on   my   horse.   I   am   a   member of   the   East   Midlands   Dressage   Group   and   compete   as   often as   time   allows.   It   was   my   riding   that   led   me   to   Osteopathy   in the first place. I   was   not   performing   to   the   level   that   was   required   and   I realised   that   my   posture   was   affecting   my   performance   and my   ability   to   win.   Osteopathic   treatment   helped   correct   my posture   problems   and   improve   my   performance.   I   also   found that   osteopathy   again   helped   during   my   pregnancy   when   my posture   was   changing   and   it   helped   me   to   recover   quickly following an operation that I had last year. I   now   specialise   in   sports   injuries,   biomechanical   and   posture related   pain   prevention.   As   well   as   treating   sports   people,   I also   treat   pregnant   women,   people   with   arthritis   (my   oldest patient   being   94!)   and   many   people   who   suffer   with   back problems from computer and work related issues.
