Hi, my name is Carmen, and I am one of the osteopaths here at Doncaster Osteo.
I am dedicated to achieving your health goals through holistic approaches; with special attention to facets of your pain like your physical health and mental wellbeing. I strongly believe in self-independence, and as such will tailor treatments and rehabilatory exercises to best suit your life-style and ability so you can achieve your pain and lifestyle goals. Hence, depending on what your pain presentation may be it can change what kind of treatment approach I use; this may mean a difference in soft tissue massages and mobility work, or incorporating dry needling and cupping. I treat any and all injuries, from acute neck strains to chronic back pains, to pains from being at the desk or in the driver’s seat all day.
Throughout my youth I struggled with (undiagnosed at the time) hypermobility issues. It was only until much later that I identified that my aches and pain flare-ups were due to compensations in the body from hypermobile joints. The constant feeling of knowing that something wasn’t quite right in my body, yet having no answers constantly left me frustrated growing up. However, now I have been able to address these compensatory actions causing pain, and was able to become self-sufficient in my journey through recovery. This has shaped me to become the Osteopath that I am today, as my lived experiences of dealing with the frustrations of pain drives me to provide the best possible treatments and care I can.
When I’m not working as an osteo, you’ll find me either spending quality time with family and friends, or experimenting with recipes in the kitchen.
positive step towards a healthier way of living for you and the whole family.
