The How Osteopathic Clinic in Edinburgh is also one of the only osteopathic clinics in Scotland to use Shockwave Therapy, a gentle and effective adjunct to quality rehabilitation and hands on osteopathy.  Rehabilitation is a slow progressive and some people it takes from 4 months to a year or two that is because we all forget that one cannot speed up the natural biological of cellular tissue repair and the cells repair more slowly as we get older so the journey of rehabilitation can be longer with various ups and downs

From the beginning of training to be an Osteopath as the European School of Osteopathy, all Osteopaths prescribe exercises.  Helen did Core Stability or Pilates many years ago with Mark Buckingham Physiotherapist

Very Effective Treatment at a Very Reasonable Cost

I have been going to Helen for over 18 months now and have been delighted with the results. Over the years I have had various forms of treatment from different private health care therapists. These treatments have been expensive, with extremely short appointments and in the long term were ineffective. Helen’s treatments by contrast are half an hour or an hour long and have been extremely effective.

The combination of traditional osteopathic manipulation and massage techniques that Helen uses alongside use of her flexomatic massage machine and the NMES, or shockwave therapy has been a great combination for me. Overall I’m delighted I found Helen…not only is she a great osteopath but she is also always very kind and welcoming.
