Musculoskeletal Health Clinic
Have you ever wondered why you keep on experiencing bodily aches and pains or small injuries despite all your efforts to keep physically active? Every time we feel a physical pain we automatically associate it with a musculoskeletal problem: muscle, bone, cartilage, tendon, etc. The idea that tissue damage causes symptoms is widely spread and for good reason; if we damage a knee ligament we experience a lot of pain around the knee or if we damage an intervertebral disc we experience pain in our back. However, sometimes pain perception is not always directly correlated to tissue damage. Did you know that chronic low grade systemic inflammation (eg, obesity or environmental toxins), cardiometabolic issues (eg, insulin, blood glucose), oestrogen disruption (eg, menopause) or functional gut issues (eg dysbiosis, ‘leaky gut’) could be behind your musculoskeletal condition?

Your Musculoskeletal health journey
Our musculoskeletal system is an essential component of health. It’s a complex structure comprising of muscles, bones and connective tissues. Together, they work to provide a framework and structure that confer functionality for stability and movement. In addition to this, the musculoskeletal system also acts as an endocrine system when it is stimulated by exercise and interacts with other bodily organs. Because of these connections, musculoskeletal issues can be overcome by identifying and addressing the root cause of your symptoms which may lay somewhere else in your body.

Our Musculosketal Health Practitioner
Many years ago, while working as a physiotherapist, I began questioning something that didn’t sit right with me: why did people with what looked like the same low back pain recover in completely different ways?
The answer was never straightforward, and that curiosity led me to look far beyond a purely mechanical model of pain.
Over time, I discovered that nutrition, inflammation, hormones, and the immune system play a central role in how pain develops, persists, and resolves. For many people, particularly women and those living with autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, pain is not just a local structural issue, but the expression of deeper physiological imbalances.
Uncovering the underlying triggers, whether hormonal shifts, gut dysfunction, immune dysregulation, or chronic stress, is often the missing piece in reducing inflammation and moving the body out of a prolonged “illness state.”
This is why combining osteopathy and nutrition has become the cornerstone of my work as a musculoskeletal specialist. Osteopathic treatment addresses the mechanical and nervous system aspects of musculoskeletal pain, while nutrition supports tissue healing, immune balance, hormonal health, and recovery at a cellular level. Together, they don’t just relieve symptoms, they speed up recovery and help prevent recurrence, especially in complex or long-standing cases.

Our Clinics
Frequently Asked Questions
What musculoskeletal conditions do you treat? We treat back pain, neck pain, shoulder issues, hip and knee problems, headaches, nerve pain, and general stiffness. We also support chronic pain, inflammation, and posture-related issues.
What is the difference between Osteopathy and Physiotherapy? Osteopathy uses a whole-body approach focusing on biomechanics, the nervous system, and gentle hands-on treatment. Physiotherapy typically focuses more on rehabilitation exercises and joint-specific protocols.
Can you help with chronic conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia? Yes, we help reduce pain, support inflammatory pathways, improve mobility, and support long-term management. Many chronic conditions respond well to a gentle, integrated approach.
Do you offer a combined approach with Pilates or Nutrition? Yes, we often combine manual therapy, Pilates-based rehab, and nutrition to support deeper healing. This approach works especially well for chronic or recurring issues.
What treatment techniques do you use? We use structural and cranial osteopathy, gentle joint mobilisation, soft-tissue work, and movement-based rehab. Treatment is always tailored to your comfort and needs.
How long does it take to recover from MSK issues? Most people notice improvement within 2–4 sessions, depending on severity and lifestyle factors. Chronic problems may take longer, but typically progress steadily.
Should I see you before or after imaging (X-ray/MRI)? You can visit us before imaging, as many issues don’t require scans initially. If imaging is needed, we will guide you and help interpret the results.
Do you work with sports injuries? Yes, we treat sprains, strains, tendon issues, running injuries and training-related pain. We also support return-to-sport with tailored rehab and Pilates-based strengthening.
