Katy Teasdale
BSc (Hons.)PsySc., BSc(Hons.) Ost., DO, DPO
Katy has been in private practice since graduating from the renowned European School of Osteopathy, Kent, UK in 2008 after a four year full-time BSc honours degree in Osteopathy and three year full-time BSc honours degree in Biology and Psychology (London).
Osteopathy is the removal of mechanical impediments, allowing optimal body fluid flow, nerve function and restoration of health. Osteopaths are Allied Health Professionals and Primary Healthcare Practitioners.
Katy’s abilities are wide-reaching, treating all ages, integrating osteopathic principles, practices and manipulative treatment in patient care. Osteopaths treat the whole person, rather than just the symptoms.
With a Postgraduate Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy from the Osteopathic Centre for Children (OCC), London, the largest Paediatric Osteopathy clinic in Europe and the gold standard award in Paediatric Osteopathy, Katy specialises in the treatment of neonates, infants, babies, children, pregnant women and new mothers.
Working voluntarily for more than two years at the OCC and the neonatal unit of Barnet General Hospital, London alongside consultants greatly enhanced her paediatric skills and experience in this complex and specialised area of osteopathic practice.
Along with gaining experience in the clinic environment in Europe, Asia and Australasia, with her love of travel, Katy has participated in humanitarian expeditions in Kenya, India and Pakistan (Osteopathy Without Borders), teaching and treating in hospitals, schools, slums and mountain villages, treating local people for issues such as those associated with trauma, malnutrition and poor sanitation.
Katy has developed a profound understanding of osteopathic principles and practice which underlie all osteopathic treatments, exploring what is uniquely required for the individual patient at that time.
Katy practices with great empathy and compassion, is thorough and articulate and offers a highly sensitive approach.
