OSTEOPATHY

Mark Ruddick - Osteopath, M.Ost, BSc(Hons) 
  
Mark has a Master’s degree in Osteopathy and is registered with GOsC and the Institute of Osteopathy. His interest in the world of physical therapy has developed from working with colleagues at a prestigious global consultancy firm as an Osteopath & Personal Trainer for the past 20 years whilst participating in a wide variety of sports himself. He understands the process of tissue repair and the importance of self-discipline in achieving full recovery through appropriate treatment and exercise. 
  
Mark takes a structural and functional approach to Osteopathy treatment. He strongly believes in the body’s natural healing mechanisms and uses treatment, movement and exercise to encourage pain relief and a return to function. We all have the potential to perform exercise, movement and day-to-day tasks without the fear of injury or pain and Mark is keen to inspire this ability and confidence in his patients. His patients are empowered with the right knowledge, exercises and habitual changes in order to manage their ongoing improvement and maintenance. There is an importance in treating pain and injury while also creating strong, resilient bodies that are protected from injury in the future.  
 

Mark uses a range of treatment methods including soft tissue massage, passive stretching and traction, manipulative techniques (which patients often feel as a click), exercise rehabilitation, medical acupuncture & kinesiology taping. 

Mark is registered with a number of Private Medical Insurers. Contact us to find out more and book your treatment.
