Services
The practice will remain operating with infection control measures in place as previously detailed (see Below). Please wear a mask, this is for the protection of others. Please sanitize your hands to minimise contact transmission from you to other surfaces and vice versa. Vaccines have yet to be shown to eliminate transmission risk and thus being vaccinated is not a reason to relax the infection transmission actions already being taken.
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is concerned with the regulation of structural, chemical and mental physiology. It uses the principle that the body is a self-maintaining, self-correcting mechanism.
The muscle test evaluates neuromuscular function and is used as a tool to assess the needs of the patient; it must be emphasised that it is used in conjunction with standard diagnostic tests that may be relevant - X rays, physical diagnosis, history, blood tests etc. AK examination enhances standard diagnosis and is enhanced by standard diagnosis.Andrew will take a full and detailed history.

Treatment is based on Clinical Need rather than a rigid adherence to a time frame, good timekeeping is important and if time allows some overrun might be expected if your case requires it; overruns are not charged extra. Appointments are booked at 30 minutes or multiples thereof and cover admin, record keeping, case history information, examination and treatment (if appropriate).

Having recently moved to the area, i needed an osteopath i could trust. Andrew was recommended by my last osteopath and friend, who also happens to be one of the best in Europe and he goes to Andrew when he needs treatment! Andrew was excellent in his treatment,explaining everything clearly and sorting out an old injury of mine that had re-occurred.
Highly recommended!
