Practitioners: Katrina Knighton

 

Osteopathy is a system of healthcare that respects the body’s ability to heal itself and maintain a state of harmony. However, sometimes events are too traumatic or the body’s resistance is low and this is where osteopathy can help. An osteopath is trained to diagnose and treat structural imbalances or strains that may be leading to discomfort and health problems. An osteopathic treatment will vary for different patients even if they present with the same problem. This is because the osteopath will treat the individual and aim to find the underlying cause for their symptoms rather than treating prescriptively.

Katrina studied at The British School of Osteopathy (BSO), completing a four-year full time Integrated Masters Degree of Osteopathy, she is fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council and is a member of the British Osteopathic Association.

Katrina has a caring and sensitive manner with a particular interest in mind and body interaction, and the intervention of osteopathic techniques to effect the inherent healing mechanisms of the body. Using a variety of techniques to gently manipulate restricted joints, stretch and release tension in muscles and soft tissues and cranial osteopathic techniques to restore balance in the body; Katrina enjoys treating patients of all ages with a wide range of complaints including acute and chronic musculoskeletal problems, degenerative conditions and the effects of stress on the body.
