She graduated in 2007 from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine with a First Class Honours Degree in Osteopathic Medicine, and diplomas in Osteopathy and Naturopathy.

Michelle was a keen sports woman in her youth, participating in tennis, hockey, squash and sailing, as well as being a keen runner and this formed the basis for her first interest in sports rehabilitation.

Michelle has experience in treating a wide range of patients, ranging from pregnant and post-natal women, to office workers, healthcare professionals and sports people.

Michelle's approach to Osteopathy is a holistic one, and each patient is treated as an individual. The main goal of treatment is to ascertain the underlying cause of the problem and not just the symptoms. Treatment techniques will vary according to each patient presentation. Commonly used treatment modalities include soft tissue therapy, deep tissue and neuromuscular massage, joint mobilization and manipulation. Michelle also practices visceral osteopathy. Patient education is key to long-term health and vitality; therefore, advice will be given on self-help treatments such as hydrotherapy, exercise, dietary and lifestyle changes.
