Geoff Skrone BSc (Hons), B Ost

I trained at the British School of Osteopathy in London for 5 years and worked in general practice osteopathy since then for many years.

I am a Registered Osteopath with the General Osteopathic Council and a member of the British Osteopathic Association. I attend numerous seminars, conferences and workshops each year to maintain and advance my knowledge base.

I enjoy working with the diversity of conditions that patients present with in general clinic but I particularly enjoy the challenge of chronic conditions like low back pain, headaches and shoulder pain. 

Through my personal interest in sport and having worked with sports injuries in the UK and New Zealand, I have acquired skill and experience in treating sport related injuries whether through trauma or repetitive strains.  In particular I have worked closely with running clubs and racket based sports.

There are many styles of osteopathy and a patient's experience will differ widely depending on who they see.  I pride myself on my reputation on being an osteopath who listens attentively and tailors the treatment to each individual.  Most treatments comprise largely of soft tissue techniques massaging, stretching and articulating with small amounts of gentle manipulation (when a click is heard), if appropriate and when desired by the patient. 

As well as helping you to better health it is always my goal to keep you away from my door by providing advice and exercises on how to avoid a recurrence.

I also use Photomedicine, which is treatment using a cold laser.  In most conditions this is an adjunct to normal osteopathic treatment but some conditions seemingly respond particularly well to laser treatment.

I was originally an IT professional but chose to retrain as an osteopath so that I could help people more directly. Now I am frequently rewarded as the patient leaves the treatment room feeling better and with a smile.

In my leisure time I enjoy most sports and walking but have a passion for windsurfing and badminton.
