Cranial Osteopathy

Since graduating as an Osteopath in 2017, Justin has been following post-grad studies with the Sutherland College of Cranial Osteopathy and is now officially a Member of the college (MSCCO).  (The grand house in the picture is in Gloucestershire where he gets to study.)

Cranial Osteopathy, despite its name, can be used to treat all areas of the body: the entire musculo-skeletal system from head to to foot, the viscera and all body systems including cardio-vascular, pulmonary, lymphatic, nervous and digestive.

It involves very subtle techniques which can often feel to the patient as though very little is happening.  This is because the practitioner is working with very subtle movements - usually responding to what the body wants to do and using movement that the body allows, rather than forcing the body into movements it seems reluctant or unable to do.

The use of structural vs cranial techniques can depend on several factors, including the nature of the patient's injury or their preference for treatment type. Many people associate Cranial Osteopathy with the treatment of babies and children, but this is a further specialisation.  Justin doesn't usually treat children under about the age of 12, but we can recommend practitioners elsewhere if this is what you a looking for.

Mervyn Espie is coming back to Stroud Green in December

We don't usually tell you about things that aren't directly to do with the clinic, but many of you know Mervyn Espie founder of N4workout, who is returning occasionally to train new and existing clients at "Ground" at 4 Ferme Park Road.  

Since moving back to Northern Ireland in June 2019, he has opened a very successful boxing and functional integrated gitness Gym called BOXING NI in Ballymoney. 

The love of London has brought him back on a temporary basis to work with Emily Newson in Ground Studio which is a fully functional and fantastically equipped personal training studio.
