Osteopath specialising in Cranial Osteopathy, Marlow

_D3_3574edit02 Ann is delighted to bring the benefits of osteopathy to the community – be it for babies, children, the elderly or any one in between. She utilises a broad range of osteopathic techniques including cranial osteopathy and gentle joint and soft tissue manipulation, selecting the most appropriate approach according to the needs and preferences of the individual. Ann is passionate about the high level of care she offers and, in addition to reducing symptoms, she aims to educate, enlighten and encourage patients to participate in their own recovery, including exercise rehabilitation when appropriate.

Prior to qualifying as an osteopath Ann spent a number of years working as a Personal Trainer and as an exercise specialist for the NHS on cardiac rehabilitation and fall prevention programs across Buckinghamshire. In 2010, after 5 years of rigorous training, Ann achieved an honours degree in Osteopathy from the College of Osteopaths in London. Her post graduate training includes ‘Osteopathy in the Cranial Field’ with the Sutherland Cranial College. Ann’s research has focused on the side-effects and effective treatment of long-term, recurrent ear infections in children.

Testimonials

Thank you for all your wonderful help and support for my son. Before your treatments, Jamie’s headaches and neck pain were getting so bad that he couldn’t concentrate on his school work and wasn’t able to effectively prepare for his exams. It was a very stressful period. You really helped ease his symptoms and allow him to return to a normal life. I wish I had known about the effectiveness of cranial treatment for orthodontic work beforehand!

Mum of Jamie, 17 years

cranial treatment to support body during orthodontic work

I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for Zach (and all your kind words!). He is now a much more contented baby. It was clear when Zach was 6-weeks that he was suffering with colic-type symptoms, he looked like he was in a lot of pain and had that real high-pitched cry at night time. With each treatment, I always noticed an improvement; crying less, sleeping better and opening his bowels easier. I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel but osteopathic treatment has worked wonders!

Mum of Zach, 6 weeks old

cranial treatment for gut disturbances

I was horrified when I woke up one morning and couldn’t move because my lower back was so stiff and painful. It was so bad that I could not go to work. Although, I had a long history of back problems following a car accident, this was the first severe episode. Thankfully, my first visit with you provided instant relief. Three more visits and some really good advice and my back felt so much better. Having a treatment with you every 2-months gives me the confidence that I will remain pain free and in good working order for the future. Thank you so much Ann.

Nikki, 40 years

structural osteopathy for back pain

Thank you so much for treating our baby daughter. After researching osteopathic treatment for colic, I brought her to see you. Within 3 treatments you have really helped her. I don’t know what you did on Wednesday but she can now turn her head to the right side easily too!

Mum of Alisha, 8 weeks old

cranial treatment for colic and neck problems

Thank you for keeping me going! Your expert treatment, patience and kindness is very much appreciated. After I see you, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my neck and shoulders! I promise to keep doing my exercises – thank you!

Elizabeth, 64 years

structural osteopathy for neck and shoulder pain and cranial treatment for headaches

Our son has seen Ann for 4 sessions so far. She has a wonderful approach with him, is very calm, engaging and manages to get him to lie still for the session – quite an achievement as he’s naturally a restless child! Within 2 sessions, we started to see some of his anxieties reduce, an improvement in his jaw problem and a significant improvement in his sleep pattern.

Testimonials

I found Jane’s treatment very effective right from the start. I sent my husband to her a few weeks later and, I have to say, he was very sceptical at first. By the time he left his initial consultation he was a convert and now all I hear is ‘Jane this and Jane that…’ (in a good way!)

Pauline, 50

I love coming to see Jane for treatment. You know you are getting old when a visit to the osteopath is the highlight of your week!

Maria, 45

Jane is professional and friendly and well worth a visit.

Mike, 55

I am convinced Jane has magic hands! My neck feels so much better and I can actually twist properly when reversing the car.

Kate, 56

Jane diagnosed a fracture in my spine that had been missed by paramedics and two GPs. I will always be grateful for her thorough knowledge, experience and care, and recommend her to everyone.

Sylvia, 70

Jane has been my osteopath for the last few years. Originally I saw her for posture problems, which she has worked wonders with. Jane is very professional, and empathetic. Highly recommended.

Sarah, 39

I can wholeheartedly recommend Jane Kaushal of Hands on Health.

Lauren, 32

I have seen various different people to help me with my back. Jane is the only practitioner to have really addressed the root cause of the problem. I can call her if I am in pain and know that it will be sorted in one or two sessions, and the occasional 'MOT' maintenance treatment means that severe back pain is a thing of the past.

Werner, 37

I found Jane after hurting my back and she has been a vital part in my recovery. After a session my body feels so much better and she has now become part of my maintenance. Jane has an amazing ability to zero in on any knots and has helped me with ongoing stretches to work on at home.

Holly, 37

Jane has great analytical skills and always gets to the root of the problem.

Martin, 53

I trust and recommend Jane without any hesitation.

Linda, 55

Jane is like a 'muscle whisperer' - after a few minutes my sore, tense muscles turn to putty in her hands!

Naomi, 51

Jane has been fantastic in sorting out my back problems during pregnancy and after. I always feel a huge improvement after one session and often the problem is completely sorted in two.

Jo, 33

Jane was able to talk me through why my back feels so sore in the mornings. Her treatment as well as her advice and stretches have made a world of difference, I am now sleeping better and almost bounce out of bed in the mornings. I forgot to take my walking stick down stairs with me the other day. That must be a good sign.

Edith, 75

I am impressed that Jane found the spot so quickly. It is strangely reassuring to know that there is a problem there and that it is not all in my head!

Jonathon, 36

I loved the way Jane explained my disc bulge as being like the jam coming out of a doughnut!

Ben, 32

It is obvious that Jane loves what she does – that’s probably why she’s so good at it.

Kevin, 54

I have got a twisted spine and have had problems for many years, but Jane's treatment allows me to continue with my running and keeps me pain free. I would recommend her to anyone.

Katie, 43

Even though my neck feels vulnerable I totally trust that Jane knows what she is doing. Her treatment is gentle, yet I really feel the benefit.

Clare, 38

At last I have been relieved of the low level neck pain that I have been living with for years.

Jo, 35

Jane is an excellent osteopath!

Lisa, 43

I have suffered with a stiff and painful neck for a number of years but treatment from Jane every 2 or 3 months keeps it manageable and allows me to continue with my gardening. Her postural advice has been very helpful too. Having tried a number of treatments, I did not think that such an improvement was possible after all these years.

Margaret, 62

I trust that Jane will help me manage my chronic back pain in the best possible way. She is very honest and there is no ‘hard sell’. Once we had sorted out my severe pain Jane recommended that I have a ‘maintenance’ appointment every couple of months. I have to say this has been very beneficial and allowed me to continue playing golf every week.

Mark, 60

Jane is amazing! My back had felt locked up for years but after just one treatment from Jane I could feel it starting to move again. It has got progressively better each session and last time she was able to treat my knee too. That had been painful since my childhood and now feels so much better that I no longer notice it. I wish I had discovered osteopathy and Jane in particular a long time ago!

Anne, 36

I was recommended Jane by three different people and she has sorted my back out in 3 sessions. I now recommend her to my friends!

Stephanie, 35
