Highgate Osteopathic & Shoulder Clinic

Osteopathy is a natural manual therapy which emphasises the role of the muscoskeletal system in health. It focuses on the importance of body mechanics, and uses manipulative techniques to detect and correct, faulty structure and function. When the body is balanced and efficient, just like a well tuned engine, it will function with the minimum of wear and tear.

PETER graduated from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2002 and went to New Zealand where he worked as the senior associate Osteopath and implemented some fundamental changes in the way the clinic worked and how patients were cared for.

He has a strong underpinning of Fundamental Osteopathic principals and techniques focusing on assessing and treating incorrect biomechanical structure and improving function as a whole, not just looking at isolated areas of pain.

Last week we found out more about osteopath Peter Clark, so this week we take a look at what sparked fellow osteopath Mark Childerstone's interest and passion for Osteopathy? We asked him a few key questions. What initially drew you to study osteopathy? I was initially drawn to osteopathy through personal recommendation for my own injuries.
