🌟 Sunday Spotlight: Meet Katie🌟

To end the year of 2025 our Sunday Spotlight is on our clinic founder Katie!

Katie spent 10 years as a general MSK osteopath, developing a particular interest in headaches, migraines and chronic pain. That deep understanding of the nervous system, pain patterns, and whole‑body function became the perfect foundation for her next chapter. After completing a year of postgraduate study in London, she followed her passion into paediatric osteopathy 👩‍🍼, where her gentle, knowledgeable, and reassuring approach now supports babies, children, and parents every day.

Outside the treatment room, Katie is mum to two gorgeous little humans, Isla and Kit, and one wonderfully loopy, long‑legged golden retriever puppy, Oakli, who keeps family life lively (and muddy). 🦮

🍫She’s also a self‑confessed chocoholic—Galaxy is the undisputed champion—and if you’ve seen her around the clinic, you’ll know another fact is she loves to switch up her hairstyles.💇‍♀️

While she brings warmth and creativity to everything she does, Katie is also excessively organised—the kind of person who can juggle a busy clinic, a growing team, and family life with colour‑coded calendars and a calm smile. Her organisation is the quiet engine that keeps the business running smoothly behind the scenes.

Here’s to Katie: the steady hands, the warm heart, and the powerhouse of organisation behind everything. 💛

🌟Sunday Spotlight: Kathryn 🌟

Today we’re celebrating Kathryn — one of our wonderfully experienced podiatrists who brings skill, sunshine, and a whole lot of personality to our clinic.

Half Australian (which explains the warmth), fully dedicated, and endlessly knowledgeable, Kathryn has years of clinical experience under her belt — including running her own successful practice. Her patients adore her calm confidence, her clear explanations, and the way she makes every appointment feel supportive and unrushed.

When she’s not transforming foot health, you’ll usually find her with a cup of Yorkshire tea in hand or creating one of her brilliant reels. She’s our resident content‑lover, always finding fun, friendly ways to show what podiatry is really about.

We’re so lucky to have Kathryn on our team — a perfect blend of expertise, creativity, and kindness for the Sunday before Christmas 🫖🎄 .

🌟 Sunday Spotlight: Meet Charlee! 🌟

This week we’re shining the spotlight on our wonderful osteopath Charlee – and trust us, she’s full of surprises!

• 💃 Charlee has been Irish dancing since the age of 4, so rhythm and energy are second nature to her.
• 🐢 She shares her home with a 95-year-old tortoise (yes, you read that right!) who’s seen almost a century of adventures.
• 🐶 She’s also a proud mum to a playful boxer puppy who keeps her on her toes.
• 🤕 Known for being a little accident-prone herself, Charlee brings empathy and understanding to her patients.
• ❤️ In clinic, she especially enjoys supporting those with chronic conditions, helping them find comfort and confidence in their everyday lives.

We’re so lucky to have Charlee’s expertise, warmth, and sense of humour on our team. If you’ve met her, you’ll know she brings both skill and a smile to every appointment.

✨ Here’s to Charlee – dancer, animal lover, and dedicated osteopath!

06/12/2025

This week, a patient came to see Charlee with wrist pain. Through a thorough clinical examination, Charlee quickly recognised that the injury needed further investigation 🏥. An X-ray confirmed a scaphoid fracture – a tricky wrist injury that can easily be missed.

👏 Thanks to Charlee’s expertise and careful assessment, the patient was referred promptly to the Emergency Department for the right care.

💡 It’s a great reminder of the value of skilled osteopathic examination: not only treating pain, but knowing when something more serious needs urgent attention. Well done Charlee

🚨 Protect Our NHS – Use A&E Wisely

The BBC reports A&E is at breaking point, with record waits and overstretched staff. Emergency services must stay free for true emergencies only. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c74xqn2zg1eo

👣for any foot related issues why not seek the help of a local podiatrist who are trained indepthly for all foot related issues.
💪 Back pain or musculoskeletal problems? See an osteopath who is trained to diagnose any musculoskeletal condition even the most severe cases of back pain which might send you to A&E

👉 Choosing the right care keeps A&E clear for life‑threatening cases and protect our NHS.

🌟 Sunday Spotlight: Meet Shona! 🌟

This week we’re shining the spotlight on one of our longest-standing team members – Shona, our super chatty podiatry star who brings both expertise and warmth to every clinic day.

👣 Professionally, Shona is a highly skilled Diabetes & Vascular Specialist Podiatrist, supporting patients with complex needs and offering reassurance with her deep knowledge and approachable style. She’s been a cornerstone of our team for years, and her dedication continues to make a huge difference to the lives of those she cares for.

💙 A proud mum of boys, she balances family life with her professional commitment beautifully.
🍀 With her Irish roots, she brings a touch of Celtic charm to our team.
