Sarah is registered with the General Osteopathic Council and a member of the Institute of Osteopathy.
She completed her Osteopathic training at Leeds Metropolitan University to achieve a Masters’ Degree in Osteopathy in 2016. On completion Sarah was also awarded the 'Deans prize of Excellence'. She studied Osteopathy because she wanted to help relieve people of pain and get them back to their everyday hobbies and activities that they enjoy.
Sarah likes to take time to explain your diagnosis, including any factors which may be preventing or slowing your recovery. Sarah says “Our bodies struggle to overcome injury and pain by adapting and compensating which can create further issues. These factors also need to be dealt with. I often find I need to give a few patient specific exercises which hands back control of recovery to the patient”.
Sarah enjoys treating a range of musculoskeletal conditions but she has a particular interest in treating Cervical (neck) pain and upper back pain. This is often as a result of poor posture which can usually be addressed within a few treatments.
Since graduating Sarah has undertaken further study including Cranial Osteopathy, Kinesiology Taping and Dry Needling (western version of acupuncture), she integrates these techniques into the treatment plan where appropriate.
Sarah played football since the age of 10 until recently but now in her spare time she likes to keep active practising Yoga, Running, taking the campervan on adventures and walking her cocker spaniel Lyla in the Peak District!
