Over the next few week we’ll will be helping you get to know our wonderful team of Osteopaths. We kick start this segment with the newest member to the MPOC team, Ashleigh.
Ashleigh jumped the ditch from little New Zealand with her fiancé & joined our team here at Middle Park Osteo Clinic just over 3 months ago. She completed her five year health science in Osteopathy degree in Auckland, New Zealand where she then worked in a busy Osteopathic clinic before joining us. She loves her career as it gives her the ability to help people reach their full potential and live a more comfortable, enjoyable & healthy life which she finds incredibly rewarding.
She enjoys treating people from all walks of life & with all conditions. Her particular interests within Osteopathy are helping women through every stage of pregnancy, treating babies & children & working with people with breathing dysfunctions all of which she has completed further training in.
Osteopathic treatment during pregnancy can make the experience more enjoyable & comfortable for women, we can help with many common pregnancy discomforts for example back pain, rib pain, pelvic pain, groin or leg pain, and heart burn. Osteopathic treatment for babies is very gentle & usually enjoyable for the baby, things that we treat babies for commonly are reflux, constipation, feeding difficulties, restlessness & sleeping issues, difficulty turning their neck & a misshaped head. Treatment for older children can be for a variety of issues such as injuries, behavioural issues, sleeping problems, delayed walking or abnormal gait, growth plate conditions & many more.
If you would like to talk to Ashleigh about how she might be able to help you or your child feel free to give us a call at the clinic on 0399082844.
