The Willow Clinic - Vanessa Fisher Osteopath

The Willow Clinic - Vanessa Fisher Osteopath The Willow Clinic offers structural and cranial osteopathic treatment to patients of all ages. This in turn will help to alleviate the symptoms.

Osteopathy is a long established and widely recognised system of diagnosis and treatment. It examines the structure and function of the body and how the parts of the body (bones, joints, ligaments, discs, muscles, tendons and nerves) work together. A breakdown of the body's normal working patterns can result in unnecessary stress, strain and pain. An osteopath assesses each patient's individual, normal, mechanical, working pattern and by gentle manipulation of bones, joints and soft tissues, works to remove restrictions which may be preventing normal mobility, blood flow, nerve supply and muscle activity. Vanessa Fisher trained and qualified as an osteopath from the British School of Osteopathy, the UK's oldest school of Osteopathy, where she went on to lecture. At The Willow Clinic we offer specialist treatment for a variety of conditions including back and neck pain, slipped discs, sciatica and nerve irritation, work/repetitive strain injuries, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, sports injuries, headaches, postural changes and back pain during pregnancy and problems in children. Vanessa offer's general osteopathic treatment for adults and specialises in the treatment of pregnant women and babies. Vanessa is experienced in cranial and paediatric osteopathy, helping to relieve a wide-range of problems in babies and young children and assisting many women during and after pregnancy, helping their bodies as they undergo changes to accommodate for the growing foetus and then through the early days and weeks of motherhood and beyond.

This came from a conversation with a mum in clinic 💛
Bedwetting can feel really stressful, but sometimes the cause isn’t what you’d expect.
Mouth breathing and sleep can play a big role — here’s how 👇

🍂 Autumn is here… and your body feels it too
As the weather cools, it’s common to notice more stiffness, tight shoulders, or those old niggles creeping back in.
This seasonal shift can affect how your body moves, recovers, and holds tension.
✨ Regular osteopathic care can help you:
• Stay mobile
• Reduce aches and stiffness
• Support your body through seasonal change
If you’ve been putting it off—this is your sign to book in.

Tennis Elbow — and you don’t need to play tennis to get it. 🎾

Lateral elbow tendinopathy is a common overload injury caused by repetitive gripping, lifting or prolonged mouse use.
It’s not just about the elbow.
We assess:
• Wrist and shoulder mechanics
• Neck involvement
• Grip strength and load tolerance
• Work and lifestyle factors

Rest alone rarely fixes it. Tendons need progressive, guided loading to recover properly.
If your elbow pain has been hanging around, let’s get it properly assessed and moving in the right direction. To find out more read my latest blog post 📖

Did you know 1 in 6 Australians live with back pain? That’s around 4 million people (ABS 2022).
Many cases are “non-specific”, with no clear structural cause. Hidden contributors may include:
• Sleep posture & pillow support 🛏
• Prolonged sitting 💺
• Poor ergonomics & limited movement
Osteopathy looks beyond symptoms, addressing how your body moves and heals. Small changes can make a big difference!

Whiplash isn’t “just a sore neck.”

It’s a real injury caused by sudden force—often from car accidents, sports collisions, or even quick falls. The neck snaps back and forth, straining muscles, ligaments, discs, and joints. Symptoms can show up within 24 hours, including neck pain, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and even difficulty concentrating.

Osteopathy can make a big difference in your recovery. Gentle hands-on treatment helps reduce muscle tension, restore movement, calm the nervous system, and ease headaches.

Research shows that early care leads to faster recovery and fewer long-term issues.
If you’ve had a recent jolt, crash, or sudden impact, don’t wait. Getting assessed within the first week can help prevent chronic pain.

Your body heals best when supported.
We’re here to help. 💛

Whiplash is more than just a sore neck. It affects your whole body—physically & emotionally. Osteopathy may restore function & reduce pain.

This November — as we recognise Movember and International Men’s Day — it’s time to talk about an often-overlooked part of men’s wellbeing: musculoskeletal health.
Many men push through pain or dismiss early stiffness as “just getting older.” But ignoring those warning signs can lead to long-term joint damage, reduced mobility, and unnecessary discomfort.

Our latest blog explores:
➡️ Why men delay seeking help
➡️ Early signs of joint dysfunction
➡️ How osteopathy can support better joint health and performance
Let’s make joint care part of the men’s health conversation this month.
💪 Because strength isn’t ignoring pain — it’s acting early.
