Simmerjot Kaur M.Ost

Structural Osteopath & Musculoskeletal Specialist 

Qualifications & Specialisms

Qualified and obtained a Masters of Osteopathy degree from the University College of Osteopathy

Experienced in the treatment of a range of conditions including fibromyalgia, headaches, neck/shoulder pain, lower back pain, repetitive strain injury (RSI) and postural related problems. 

I have a passion for holistic treatment with patients which allows me to take into consideration their physical, mental and emotional health as well as social factors that could be influencing their pain levels. As each individual is different, I find it is important that each treatment and advice/exercises must be unique to the patient. Using this approach I have been fortunate enough to help people from all walks of life including those in sedentary jobs, to those in more active jobs e.g tradespeople, as well as expectant mothers/postpartum. 

Additional Qualifications: Structural Osteopathy, Sports Massage Therapy, Medical Acupuncture, 

Hobbies & Interests

Growing up there was always a Ayurvedic remedy for what I needed, which drove my interest in well-being and nutrition, and more recently female health issues/conditions. I enjoy practising yoga, meditation and mindfulness which allows me to create a more tailored treatment for those who suffer from increased stress and anxiety.
