Please note that I have relocated from London to Orkney, Scotland. This page and its content will be updated in due course. Thank you for your understanding.
This page is dedicated to knowledge and information sharing. I am writing articles on different topics that will help women look after themselves and their children. Where possible, I include contact details of local practitioners who were recommended to me by other patients or practitioners. Free Educational Group Talks.I offer free educational group talks to organisations on the following subjects - introduction to women's pelvic health, promoting continence, introduction to menopause, and scar tissue self-care.
Petra facilitated and delivered an interesting, informative and interactive presentation on an introduction to women’s pelvic health. Her calm and friendly approach immediately put people at ease and able to talk about something which can be quite a taboo and embarrassing topic. She was appropriate in her use of humour with props, competitions and pictures to keep people engaged and feeling more relaxed. I personally learned lots and took away loads of good tips and advice. And many from the group still speak about what they learned months later, and many have made changes to their lifestyle and work practices based on what they learned that evening. I would highly recommend PK Osteopathy for future talks; she really knows her stuff. Looking forward to the next one already! (Home-Start Orkney) Patient Feedback/ Reviews.An acquaintance recommended PK Osteopathy following my concerns for my 20-month-old daughter regarding her walking. My daughter was a unilateral right toe walker and unbeknown to me had been caused by a tight/shortened gastrocnemius (calf muscle).
I found Petra's approach calming, knowledgeable and professional. As a client who does not understand medical jargon, I left after the first session more aware of my daughter's situation and a better understanding of what may be happening with her foot. Petra explained what she could do for us with osteopathy and discussed the need for further medical intervention. I knew instantly I wanted to continue using her services. After two sessions myself and the family noticed an improvement is my daughter's walking. Although she was not walking flat on her right foot yet, she had lowered her heel towards the floor. It was a step in the right direction and continued until I received an appointment with a Paediatric Orthopaedic Consultant. I am happy to say my daughter is walking flat on both feet following serial casting; however, I have no doubt the osteopathy sessions with Petra contributed to my daughter's progress and boosted her the confidence. She is running at every possible moment! I highly recommend PK Osteopathy and am extremely happy with the results. Thank you, Nanette (mother) Since giving birth and suffering PGP (pelvic girdle pain) I sought many professionals for treatment, however once I found Petra; who specialises in woman's health, I saw a significant improvement in my pain. Not only did she help treat and align my hips, but also worked on other chronic back pain which I experienced for many years. Out of her kindness and empathy, she even went a few steps further and advised me about other external measures I should take to help improve my overall health for which I'll always be grateful for. I would highly recommend her. Thank you, Saba |
