Tamar Valley Osteopathy I am an Osteopath who loves to get people out of pain and moving better. What are Osteopaths? In the UK, Osteopathy is a health profession regulated by UK law.

I have a special interest in women's health & pre and post partum care
Mummy MOT practitioner. Osteopaths are highly trained healthcare professionals, who are experts in the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones and associated tissues). Osteopaths are recognised as an allied health profession by NHS England. Only those who are registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) are allowed to

practise as or call themselves an Osteopath. To become an Osteopath, one must undertake specialist degree-level training, either a Bachelor of Science (BSc) or integrated Masters (MOst), plus complete over 1000 hours of clinical placement (Direct patient contact time). This takes a minimum of 4 years to complete

To maintain registration with GOsC, which is renewed annually, Osteopaths must meet mandatory continuous professional development (CPD): keeping skills and knowledge up-to-date and maintaining high standards of professional development. What do Osteopaths do? Osteopaths believe in the 4 principles, these are:
The body is a unit; a person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit. The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance. Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated. Osteopaths will use a wide variety of gentle hands-on techniques that focus on releasing the tension within the soft tissues, improving mobility and optimising function, as well as providing useful health advice and exercise if required. All treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function. They will also work with, or refer you to, other healthcare professionals as needed to ensure you receive optimum care. Osteopaths take the time to understand each patient – your unique combination of symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. This helps to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your issue, (not just addressing the site of discomfort), and formulate a treatment plan with you that will achieve the best outcome.

Mama's to little ones this ones for you!!

🚑 FIRST AID FOR PARENTS 🚑

On Tuesday 7th October we will once again be hosting a 2hr 'First Aid for Parents' workshop, led by White Cross Training .

This is a hands on, practical session where Laurence will answer all your questions and help you feel more confident in keeping your child safe. Literally nothing is left uncovered - in the last session we had questions about choking, head bumps, fevers, allergies, drowning, sepsis, meningitis, tummy bugs.... And loads more too!

Booking is essential for this, as we like to keep the numbers low so you have plenty of time to deep dive on any of those first aid niggles. Babies/toddlers are welcome to attend, and refreshments are provided (our coffee & snack bar will also be open if you fancy more).

📌 Little Goose Play Cafe
📆 Tuesday 7th October
🕙 10am-12pm (arrive from 9.30)

✨ Pelvic health isn't just about exercises - pelvic floor exercises are powerful - especially when they're part of a whole body, whole person approach ✨

When guided by a pelvic health professional, targeted exercises can rebuild strength, restore function, and support you through every life stage - from pregnancy to postpartum to menopause and beyond.

But for those exercises to truly land, we also need to look at the foundations that support the system:

💜 Sleep
💜 Nutrition
💜 Hydration
💜 Movement
💜 Relaxation

Because your pelvic floor doesn't exist in isolation. It's influenced by your breathing, your stress levels, your digestion, your posture, and your daily habits.

Pelvic health is whole-body health!

If you're ready for a more complete, personalized approach - I'm here to help.

The truth is.. most women are under prepared and under supported - and it's not their fault.

Our system focuses on baby growth and safety (which is, of course, absolutely important and crucial) - but where is the support for the mums? Their bodies? Their emotional recovery?

The research is clear -
👉🏼 A lack of Antenatal education increases the rates of birth trauma
👉🏼 Movement in pregnancy improves labour outcomes
👉🏼 Ongoing support in each stage lowers the risk of postpartum depression

You deserve that support 💜

Here's how I can help 👇🏼

🤰🏼 Pregnancy Osteopathy
For pain relief and support for common pregnancy complaints, such as PGP, SPD, sciatica and lower back pain

✨ The Empowered Mamas Experience
A brand new 90 minute session combining Pregnancy & birth education and a relaxing massage treatment to help you feel calm, confident and empowered

👩🏼‍⚕️ The Mummy MOT
The full postpartum check up you deserve - think pelvic floor, core, breath, movement, scar therapy, and rehab guidance & support

💜 Free guide & Community Support
The in depth guide at the 3 Pillars to help prepare your body and mind for birth and postpartum & a free space where you can get real education & support and feel seen, heard, and like you're never doing this journey alone.
