24 years of hands-on experience
Clare qualified from the British School of Osteopathy in 2002. She opened her own clinic in Armitage in 2011 and moved to Market Street in Lichfield in November 2021.
Her treatment is practical and hands-on: soft tissue work, articulation, mobilisation and stretching, followed by exercises to build strength. If your problem needs something other than osteopathy, she will say so and refer you to the right person.
More about Clare“Every patient who walks through my door is a whole person, with their own worries and stresses, and I am often their last resort.”
