Sue McCall
Sue graduated with a Master’s degree from the British School of Osteopathy in 2013. She enjoys treating a variety of patients from all backgrounds with a mixture of hands-on therapy and rehabilitation work, including exercise and breathing retraining. She uses the methods she has learned in Immaculate Dissection, where she is also part of the teaching team, and the ongoing training she is undertaking in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization ('DNS') with the Prague School to help her patients find true core stability. Her aim is to find the root cause, rather than just managing symptoms and then work with you to correct the underlying dysfunction to enable you to stay pain-free long term.
Sue is a certified level 3 NeuroKinetic Therapy™ practitioner and uses this protocol to assess motor control issues that contribute to many musculoskeletal problems. She also runs study groups, and mentors other practitioners, to help develop their NKT skills. Sue has also completed a medical acupuncture course and so, where appropriate, uses needling to complement hands-on treatment.
She has completed the Foundation Course at the Institute of Classical Osteopathy in Dorking and spent a year training one day a week at the Institute's clinic in North London, this has reinforced her ability to look at patients holistically and treat the aches and pains they bring in an integrated manner.
Prior to training as an osteopath, Sue had a successful career in banking and finance and so is very aware of the physiological effects of stress and a sedentary lifestyle on the body.
She has always been active enjoying hiking, cycling, running and weight training amongst other things.
