About Dynamic Osteopathy


Why Dynamic Osteopathy?

We have been asked this question many times and so will take this opportunity to set the record straight...YOU DO NOT NEED to be feeling dynamic to have treatment with us!

The word dynamic was chosen to indicate the integration and inter-relationship of all aspects of a person’s life – their body, its functions and their emotional well-being – all these areas need to be working harmoniously for optimum health. This is one of the principles of osteopathy.

Also dynamic can also mean energetic and positive in character, and we aim to help you achieve a little of this through osteopathic treatment and improved vitality and health! A positive outlook has been proven to help improve the natural healing ability of the body. It also improves your posture...it’s almost impossible to ‘walk the walk’ and ‘talk the talk’ with a depressed slouched postural position, and it can work both ways...try it and see!

She is fully qualified, having completed a five-year honours degree with the College of Osteopaths (London), and is registered with General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).

On a personal note... Zena is married with two teenage daughters, and when not at the practice, she enjoys the great outdoors, especially cross-country dog walking, foraging, bushcraft, wild camping, and vegetable gardening.
