Having taught herself to massage by the age of six, Lucy found her calling into Osteopathy at the age of eight, with her passion for Osteopathy encouraged by continual further study in its science and art of technique.
Lucy’s special interest is in how Osteopathy can aid those with experiences of emotional and physical trauma, and stress – and has given lectures in this field, identifying emotional issues, which may make recovery from physical issues more difficult to overcome.
Since qualifying, Lucy has worked at various locations in London, and internationally in General and Family Osteopathic Medicine, and with Rugby and Athletics teams in Sports Medicine and Pitch-Side Medical care.
Lucy continued her postgraduate studies into Classical Osteopathy at The Institute of Classical Osteopathy with clinical residence at the London Centre for Classical Osteopathy.

Lucy has undergone further postgraduate osteopathic training in Pregnancy and Obstetrics, and Paediatric Osteopathy with the Foundation of Paediatric Osteopathy with further clinical residence at the Osteopathic Centre for Children.

Lucy is registered with The General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), and The Institute of Classical Osteopathy (ICO), and is a member of the Institute of Osteopathy (iO) and Osteopathic Sports Care Association (OSCA).

Lucy the Osteopath is based in London at Anamaya and available for daytime and late appointments on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

About Osteopathy

Osteopaths recognise that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself and contains is own “medicine chest” to do this.

Osteopaths have an understanding that a “problem” or “disease” does not just appear out-of-the-blue (unless it involves trauma). There has been a chain of events leading up to this issue. The treatments re-establish spinal structure and mechanics, much like a structural engineer would work with physics and forces to repair and stabilise a failing bridge.

By restoring these fundamental issues, the barriers to health via nerves, reflexes, blood flow and organ function – the body can then produce normal spinal and body movements, nerve impulses and normal levels of chemical and hormonal production.

By understanding how the body stands up against gravity and how normal loading should occur through the spine, it is then possible to see that all strain and compensation patterns occur not just at one location, but throughout the entire body.
