I changed my career direction after qualifying as a chemical engineer from Imperial College, London to pursue osteopathic medicine and graduated with first class honours from the prestigious British College of Osteopathy and Naturopathy in 1997. I spent three years practising alongside Dr. Brian Pattinson, a founder member of the British Institute of Musculoskeletal Medicine, gaining experience in rheumatology and orthopaedic medicine. I held an NHS provider contract with Brentford Chiswick & Isleworth Primary Care Trust from 1998 to 2001. I also ran sports injury clinics within several sports and leisure centres including the Hogarth Club and Sunstone Women’s Sports Centre. I worked for several years with the 121 Dental Clinic providing cranio-facial adjustments and assisting with the treatment of malocclusion and bruxism. I also gained post-graduate qualifications in cranial osteopathy with the Sutherland Cranial College, nutritional and herbal therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro linguistic programming and Alexander Technique. I am a registered Neil-Asher Technique practitioner for treatment of frozen shoulder syndrome. I practice QiGong and Tai Chi regularly and also basic yoga. I now practice from three clinics in London and southwest Scotland treating patients of all ages with a broad range of conditions from sports injuries, low back pain and headaches to irritable bowel syndrome. I also run workshops and courses in London and Scotland teaching and assisting participants in posture dynamics, body energy awareness, injury prevention and risk assessment and the triangle of health. Alongside fellow therapists, I also run a health and detox retreat in SW Scotland. I have established links with various specialists, imaging centres and blood, stool and nutritional testing centres. I am enthusiastically commited to helping my patients and clients to feel better - healthy in body, mind and spirit! Julia MEng (Hons), BSc (Hons) Ost Med, N.D., MRN Registered with the General Osteopathic Council Member of the General Council and Register of Naturopaths Member of the British Osteopathic Association About Osteopathy & Naturopathy Osteopathy is the modern, scientific development of two of the oldest forms of treatment known to man - massage and manipulation. It is essentially a natural therapy, which seeks to overcome the wide range of diseases, disabilities and pains which result from disturbances of the body's framework and moving parts. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of healing which seeks to promote health by stimulating and supporting the body's inherent powers to regain harmony and balance. Naturopathy is not a single therapy. It is not even a group of therapies. It is a philosophy of health which is at least as old as the time of Hippocrates and adheres to the principle of 'first do no harm'. It is used by the naturopathic practitioner to assist in increasing the vitality of the individual and to educate the patient in the long-term attainment and continuance of good health. Osteopathy complements naturopathy perfectly as the structural and mechanical component of the treatment. Cranial osteopathy is a particularly gentle, but powerful, form of treatment. It is particularly suitable for treating babies and children. Very specific, skilled, light pressure is applied where necessary to assist the natural ability of the body to release stresses and tensions. The treatment may be complemented with naturopathic advice or conventional osteopathic manipulation, particularly in older children. Cranial osteopathy is also very useful in treating adults, often alongside structural methods, particularly in treating neck or jaw dysfunction or when addressing an emotional aspect of pain using somato-emotional release techniques. I have been lucky enough to form collaborations with a number of excellent therapists including fellow osteopaths, trainers, herbalists, NLP practitioners and psychotherapists. Together, we run a range of self-development courses, in collaboration with a number of other health professionals, both clinic-based and residential. They include health, nutrition and wellbeing, body energy awareness and posture dynamics.
