Personal Training & Osteopathic Treatment*

As a qualified osteopath and personal trainer and fitness instructor I can be a valuable asset for individuals seeking to improve their physical fitness, rehabilitate from injuries, or manage chronic conditions. "Also happens to be a national champion in acrobatics as a teenager...twice..."

Key benefits of personal training within osteopathic treatment include:

• Tailored exercise programmes: I can design personalised exercise routines based on your specific needs, goals, and physical limitations.

• Enhanced injury prevention: My understanding of biomechanics and movement patterns can help identify potential risks and develop strategies to prevent injuries.

• Improved rehabilitation: I can integrate exercise into the rehabilitation process to speed up recovery and improve functional outcomes.

• Holistic approach to health: By addressing both structural and functional issues, I can offer a more complete solution to your problems.

• Increased patient satisfaction: You may appreciate having a healthcare provider who can offer both manual therapy and exercise guidance.

• Weight management: Exercise is essential for maintaining a healthy weight and body composition.

• Collaborate with your personal trainer: Should you already have a personal trainer and they wish to speak to me about your potential or dysfunction I am happy to do that. Please consider an online consultation if you do not want to do it in person or save time and money.

Osteopaths can play a crucial role in:

• Assessing physical limitations: Identifying any underlying conditions or restrictions that may affect exercise.

• Providing guidance on safe and effective exercises: Ensuring that exercises are appropriate for the individual's condition and abilities.

• Monitoring progress: Evaluating the effectiveness of the exercise program and making adjustments as needed.

By combining the expertise of osteopaths and personal trainers, individuals can benefit from a more holistic approach to health and wellness.

*Please note that personal training is an additional service offered primarily to existing osteopathy patients as part of their rehabilitation, posture correction, rehabilitation exercises, and functional movement training or injury prevention plans. However, there are a few exceptions where they can be stand-alone as non-patients so please enquire if there are slots available as these are limited.
