Laura McCrave

I became an osteopath to help people understand and overcome their pain, empowering them with the knowledge to support their recovery. My personal experience with back pain during a stressful time in my life was key to discovering osteopathy and ultimately transforming my own health.

I specialise in treating musculoskeletal pain caused by lifestyle, work, and pregnancy-related factors, including discomfort in the neck, back, shoulders, and hips. I am particularly interested in BPPV related dizziness. Using a combination of structural techniques like massage and joint articulation, along with the calming approach of cranial osteopathy, I focus on reducing pain and enhancing the body’s ability to manage daily activities with ease.

I also have a deep understanding of the role stress plays in pain and healing, and I work particularly well with individuals going through challenging life stages. I incorporate movement and breathwork techniques to improve both physical and mental well-being, helping you feel balanced and supported.

I pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable, and respectful environment for everyone. I particularly enjoy working with individuals in their later years, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those who enjoy an active lifestyle. My goal is to provide effective, personalised care that helps you achieve lasting results.

As an avid runner and member of the local running community, I bring my own experience to the table when it comes to treating running-related injuries or niggles. You can often find me at Hilly Fields parkrun on Saturday mornings, before heading to the Sunflower Centre in the afternoon to support my patients.

If you’re ready to take control of your health and move toward a pain-free life, I’d love to help guide you on your journey.
