I am an osteopath who came across a great addition to my practice, the Gaitscan, which is a way to specifically analyse peoples' posture and walking style, or gait, and see how it is affecting their body. If you are outside the functional norm, this can potentially contribute to pain in the back, hips, knees and feet. If you think this may be you then you can book an appointment for a full Gaitscan assessment.
OrthoticsNot the old clunky things you may be thinking of! The ones I can order are custom made for you and come in a variety of designs for different shoe types. What does this mean? You can wear the shoes that suit your lifestyle, whether that be heels or work boots.

OsteopathyOsteopathy is a form of manual therapy. It focuses on unwinding the tension across muscles, joints and connective tissue to help relax specific areas of the body. People who come for help are those with back and neck pain, headaches, sports injuries and repetitive strain issues.

I work between two clinics in Christchurch, New Zealand: Halswell Clinic and Total Body Osteopathy. You can book with me at either of these clinics for a Gaitscan assessment, or for an osteopathic appointment.
