My interest in health and how the body works, first began at school where I enjoyed playing an array of different sports including netball, hockey, squash and swimming, as well as providing exercise and staying fit and healthy. From here the natural progression was to study as a Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist, which I did in 2002, gaining a good understanding of sports injuries and rehabilitation.
The body is like an engine - when it is in balance and correctly adjusted, it will function better and have more energy with minimal wear and tear. Occasionally injuries, constant use or conditions such as arthritis can adversely affect the muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints to cause pain and restrict movement and use, sometimes in a completely different part of the body.
Osteopathic treatments are drug-free, non invasive and effective for almost everyone; as osteopathic techniques include a gentle approach, they are suitable for newborns through to the older person. Whether the problem is caused by poor posture, wear and tear, repetitive strain, sports injuries or even as a result of pregnancy, an osteopath will work with you to rebalance the body structures and help you achieve the best state of health possible.
For this you will be requested to remove outer clothing, I do ask patients to bring shorts and a loose fitting T- shirt with them to change into. Gentle movement of joints and other pain free techniques to allow improved flexibility and movement of the body. Home advice consisting of specific exercises and hot and cold applications, will also be given to help you treat the area yourself in between sessions.
There are many benefits to having regular massage during pregnancy. Patients have reported that it can help, many minor ailments experienced during pregnancy such as achy hips, back pain and swollen legs. Massage encourages blood and oxygen and nutrients to circulate around the body better. This assists the work of the heart and lungs, and stimulates the body's defence mechanisms.

I have been treated by Laura for over 10 years. Her treatment is unlike normal Osteopaths who click everything back in to place. Laura minipulates muscles and bones back into place with no stress or pain. It is relaxing and she always leaves me feeling leaving a treatment session stress free and any back or muscle issues resolved.

I highly recommend holmwood clinic. The clinic is clean and a very relaxing place and easy to park.
I have been visiting the clinic for many years now. Laura helped me with sciatic pains during my second pregnancy.
She always have good healthy tips to give too, even my shampoo she suggested a more natural product, and I loved it!
She helped my husband when he had a bike accident and now she is helping my son.

I highly recommend Laura. I had seen many different practitioners before seeing Laura and was feeling very anxious and vulnerable about my back and worried about seeing someone new. I need not have worried as Laura is incredibly knowledgeable and at the same time very kind and understanding. By my second treatment, I knew I was in good hands. My pelvis and back have never been better. I also find that I am calmer after a treatment and sleep better too. I feel really blessed to have met Laura and so grateful for all her help.

Providing a great service in a clean and relaxing environment I first went to Laura after hurting my back. She quickly put me at ease, diagnosed the issue and after a couple of sessions relieved any pain I had.
I have continued to visit regularly to maintain a healthy back.
I have and will continue to recommend her services and the benefits of osteopathy to my family and friends
