Louise Mallender Osteopathy

Determined to enter into a more holistic, medical based career, I trained at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine and qualified in 2005. Having gained several years of valuable experience in a combination of Osteopathic, complementary health clinics and GP practices, I began my own practice in the rural Suffolk town of Needham Market in 2011. Although the manual 'hands on' treatment forms a large part of my work as an Osteopath, one of the other roles that I feel is of equal importance is to educate my patients on how to look after their bodies; this may include exercise or postural advice, things to change at home or in the workplace, advising on footwear, mattresses or seating or simply getting my patients to drink more water! I believe in encouraging and supporting my patients with many aspects of their health and lifestyle, as a multifactoral approach works best. My aims are to get people more comfortable, mobile, back to doing what they need or want to do, and to equip them with self help tools to manage or prevent the issues they came to me with. For anyone not requiring my 'hands on' osteopathic services, but wishing to improve their health and well being, I can offer lifestyle medicine coaching, which can be done in person or remotely.
