Mandy qualified as an osteopath in 1997, and has worked in Lewes since then. She treats a wide of musculoskeletal injuries and pain, using a range of osteopathic techniques including soft tissue massage. plus more gentle techniques such as cranial osteopathy, which is particularly suited to the treatment of babies and children.
The most common issues which Mandy treats are back pain, neck and shoulder pain and headaches. These can be caused by a specific incident but often they are cumulative and associated with posture, workstation position and hobbies such as gardening or sport. Another area of concern are repetitive strain injuries, often associated with the technology we now use so frequently.

Shock Wave Therapy
Mandy also offers Shockwave therapy, which is very effective treatment for tendinopathies.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is a non-invasive and evidence-based option for the treatment of various pains and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. It has been used successfully in orthopaedic pain therapy since the beginning of the 1990s. Frequently treated conditions include frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis.
The shock waves are generated in the handpiece of the Shockwave device and transmitted into the patient's body by means of ultrasound gel, where they have a targeted effect on the painful areas.
Many years of experience prove that certain pathological changes in tendons, ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones can be specifically eliminated with Shockwave therapy.
Usually some 4-6 sessions are needed to generate a lasting change in symptoms.
