Osteopath

Sally McGrandle

After training at the European School of Osteopathy Sally spent eleven years in an established practice in the UK. Here, she focused on very traditional approaches to diagnosis and treatment and developed a keen interest into the specific and specialised treatment of the neck and migraine complaints. She also enjoys treating maternity and paediatric cases and has worked within competitive sporting environments as an osteopath for acute and chronic injuries.

Osteopath

Caron Shallish

After completing a 5 year Honours Osteopathic degree at Oxford Brookes
University, Caron moved to New Zealand in 2011. She has practised in Wellington
for over 9 years. Caron has recently moved to Cambridge where she runs a
clinic in Leamington, but returns regularly to Wellington to continue to
support her patients (we suspect Wellington coffee and a great team may
have something to do with it too!). 
“I love working across a wide cross section of the community, every person is different. I tend to work with a combination of soft tissue techniques, gentle joint mobilisation, fascial release and cranial techniques. This mostly gentle approach appeals to and suits many different patients.”
