CLINIC UPDATE - a baby on the way and a new osteopath joining the team!
My husband (Tom) and I, are expecting our first child at the end of July – exciting and somewhat daunting!
I will continue to work until approximately mid June and then take maternity leave, returning to work in April 2023.
I have searched the whole world (literally) for an osteopath to replace me during my time away, it’s important to me that all patients can access treatment and don’t delay seeking help when injured or in pain. Many candidates applied for the position, and I sifted through with the aim to find an osteopath who is compassionate and treats in a similar way to me. Rhys Whitehouse, ticked all the boxes and will join Cromwell Osteopathy in mid June! I will let him introduce himself…
New Osteopath – Rhys Whitehouse (M.Ost, B.Sc.)
Firstly I would like to say how excited I am to enter into the Cromwell community and meet all of you over the coming months.
I am a British trained Osteopath having graduated from the European School of Osteopathy. I work in a very similar style to Nicole and believe rehabilitation is an important part of the recovery process, as is hands on treatment coupled with patient education.
I will always be trying my up most to provide you with appropriate information regarding any injury you have, as well as talk through potential treatment options so that together we can put together the best recovery plan for you personally.
As well as an osteopath I am also a qualified mountaineer and rock climbing instructor. Both of these are my passion (having climbed for almost half my life now) as well as being outdoors. These passions are also a strong driving force behind moving to Cromwell, with New Zealand being world renowned for its stunning and rugged landscapes as well as the abundance of adventurous activities available on the doorstep.
Nicole has also asked me to attach a couple of photos for you. The 1st is how you are more likely to find me in the clinic day to day, the 2nd is me getting ready to head out with a dog team in the Arctic this week.
As I said before, I am delighted to meet you all and properly make your acquaintance very soon. Until then, I hope you all have a lovely few weeks.
Rhys Whitehouse, MOst, BS
