Clare McClure BSc (Hons)

In Clare’s words

I qualified from the British School of Osteopathy in 2002, and after relocating to Staffordshire I started a clinic in Armitage in 2011. The clinic moved to Lichfield city in November 2021 and is now Lichfield Osteopathy.

I thoroughly enjoy my work as an osteopath. The healing capacity of the body never ceases to amaze me. Every patient who walks through my door is a whole person, with their own worries and stresses, and I am often their last resort.

To get people better is my aim, or if need be, to refer a patient to the appropriate health specialist for further investigation or treatment.

Osteopathy is a wonderful science. Getting people better and out of pain is a joy. For some it is a quick fix. For others it takes longer and means changing how they live and work. I see the difference I make every day, and for this I feel grateful.

How I work

I work with soft tissue, articulation, mobilisation and stretching techniques. I am usually keen to suggest exercises to speed up recovery and build strength, which is why I started The Aches and Pains Project: short, free videos people can follow at home.

The clinic is an inclusive space, and everyone is welcome.
