THE TEAM

Elisabeth graduated from The British School of Osteopathy with a Masters in Osteopathy in 2015, complementing her previous BSc in Sports Medicine from the University of Glasgow. She has worked within a broad and diverse range of clinical environments including dedicated sports injury clinics and specialist centres focusing on neuro-muscular disease. Notably, the Muscular Dystrophy Support Centre in Coventry. These experiences have further developed her comprehensive knowledge base and flexible treatment approach.

As part of her commitment to Continuing Professional Development she has gained further qualifications in Sports Massage, Dry Needling, Exercise Rehab and Work Station Assessment.

Elisabeth was drawn to osteopathy because its philosophy closely mirrors her own beliefs on healthcare. Osteopathy is a full body approach to assessment and treatment which aims to identify the cause rather than just treat the symptoms. She started Tottenham Hale Osteopaths in 2016 and enjoys a varied client base ranging from individuals with an active lifestyle to pregnant women and the elderly.

‘From personal experience I know clinical encounters today are often very impersonal. That’s why I wanted to create an environment where an individual could tell their full story and feel they have genuinely been listened to. Pain or injury is a frustrating time for anyone regardless of age, occupation, or goals. It’s important to me that people understand not only what is causing their pain but also why they are experiencing it. You have to know what you are dealing with to overcome it. I want patients to have a role in their recovery and at the end of their treatment feel confident they have the tools to manage their symptoms away from the clinic. My definition of success is a patient feeling like they can take a step away and manage without their Osteopathy appointment. I hope people leave the clinic feeling that treatment has been tailored to them and they can take on any challenge they wish.’

Outside of the clinic Elisabeth is a sports enthusiast who enjoys open water swimming and bouldering.

Since qualifying in Sports and Remedial Clinical Massage Therapy in 2012, I have worked and put my energies into what I believe in and love practicing. I come from a background of helping people with their pain – physical and emotional; supporting individuals to reach their goals whether in personal life or in sports, is what strives me to do what I do.

I trained in understanding the link between mind and body and in Holistic Medicine. I spent over 30 years bringing natural therapies to peoples lives including people with ‘special’ needs. In my massage practice, I have treated many with desk job injuries, namely neck/shoulder and lower back problems as well as supporting enthusiastic exercise individuals with their specific needs in order to maintain joint flexibility and avoid injuries, as well as supporting those with injuries in their goal to recovery. I use a combination of Soft Tissue techniques such as stretching and trigger point work with pressure that is suited to you.

My treatments are bespoke and tailored to your needs. I believe it is important to really listen to what your needs are and what it is you want to achieve. I work with you rather than ‘imposing’ what I think may be better. My sessions consider you as a whole person and not just physical matter.

As a person, I am positive, empathetic, conscientious and lead a philosophical life style. I have been a runner for over 25 years and have a background in kick boxing and in the last 10 years spent time learning Wing Chun. I love watching and learning about nature and animals and love dogs!

I am a full member of the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage and I am licensed to practice as a Soft Tissue Therapist.
