Lowbourne Osteopaths has introduced new osteopath, Steve McMullen, to their team. Steve has recently arrived in Wiltshire and will replace Joad Shaban, who left December for New Zealand.
Steve has benefited from osteopathy for over 20 years and, so impressed at the positive results of osteopathic treatment, he decided to leave his job as a firefighter in New Zealand and train to become an osteopath. He graduated from the European School of Osteopathy with 1st class honours, and has been working with patients since 2015.
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that can have beneficial effects for a variety of muscle and joint conditions. Treatment is tailored to the individual’s needs, with techniques varying between patients, depending on age, fitness and diagnosis.
Steve’s treatment approach favours a range of gentle, indirect soft tissue techniques, as well as stronger, direct articulations and manipulations, enhanced by dry-needling (a form of western acupuncture). To complement his osteopathy, he has further qualifications in sports massage, sports taping and kinesiology taping.
Away from osteopathy, Steve enjoys keeping fit in a multitude of ways, including climbing, cycling and trial running. He prefers to be out in the countryside, and is looking forward to the day he can get another dog.
Steve is available to help you manage your aches and pains, whether due to sports injuries and accidents or from wear and tear and aging.
