ABOUT KEYWORTH OSTEOPATHY

We opened our doors in September 2020 and are thoroughly enjoying supporting the local community and surrounding areas by making osteopathy services more widely available to improve patients' quality of life.

We continually strive to deliver the highest quality of patient care in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and we are continually making changes at the clinic to enhance the patient experience. So far we have added bright, new, solar lights along the walkway to/from the clinic and have just added a brand new heater in the waiting room to keep it toasty and warm.

We meet and treat wonderful, inspiring people on a daily basis and it's not only a pleasure to help them, but they also help to shape our practice. What matters to you, matters to us and we ask our patients to give us honest feedback through anonymous questionnaires. This helps improve patient care by making adjustments in the clinical experience from a patients point of view, as well as continuing to deliver the high standards we have already given ourselves.

So far through patient feedback, we have we have added a seat in the changing area, an extended length shoe horn and have larger towels available for patient coverage/warmth/additional privacy.

MEET THE TEAM

Sara, Osteopath and Clinical Director

Sara is a hard working mum and along with her son/partner in crime (who helps keep the clinic ship-shape, clean, tidy), they both enable things to run smoothly.

Sara graduated with a Bachelor of Osteopathy (BOst, Hons) degree (5 year course) through The College of Osteopaths. Whilst studying, she was also working as a sport and remedial massage therapist. Sara has 10 years experience treating a wide range of conditions and varied age range of patients.

While studying, Sara completed 1200 hours of clinical practice in the college teaching clinic and draws upon this breadth of knowledge when treating her patients in clinic.

Since graduating, Sara has attended additional training courses in techniques such as high velocity, low amplitude thrust techniques (the clicky-poppy techniques), cranial osteopathy (the very gentle stuff) as well as harmonics courses (gentle, rhythmic, movement based). Most recently completing a course as a Perrin Technique Practitioner. As such, Sara combines a wide range of techniques to help get patients feeling better.

In her spare time, Sara likes to regularly go indoor sky diving, hiking and regularly spends time visiting the beautiful hills and peaks around the UK and Wales. Sara also does pilates and has a love-hate relationship with running, which she is currently loving again!

Kit, House-keeping extraordinaire

Kit is currently studying towards A-Levels Physics, Maths and PE. Kit has always had a passion for all things car related, especially fast ones! So naturally, he is progressing towards moving onto a degree at university and a career in motorsport.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

As a business we have a responsibility to the environment within the realms and regulations of what we do. Since opening the clinic, we are working hard to reduce over-all single-use plastic and reduce our impact on the environment and look for new ways to improve.

What we are doing so far....

Biodegradable bin bags and aprons
Reduced our bin collections to help reduce unnecessary bin lorry visits
Toucan Eco natural cleaning solution which uses salt and water to produce a safe, environmentally friendly disinfectant
Disposable 'fab little bags' for use in our toilets help keep sanitary waste out of rivers and oceans and keeps our bins clean and hygienic
Bulk buy/refillable products to reduce waste
Single use, washable hand towels to reduce paper towel waste
Lots of plants to improve air quality and provide a relaxing and stress reducing environment. Our patients know we love a good plant, we've been gifted 5 plants already, amazing!! We love them so much, thank you.

We will continue to strive for better clinical health, less toxins, reduced consumption

and less waste in what we do.

If you have any suggestions or ways we can improve, please do let us know.
