Tony first started working with individuals
affected by paralysis in 1994. He was approached by Sportability
and Russian therapists from the Dikul Institute where
he provided invaluable osteopathic and technical support for the Centre.
Since then, his experience
and knowledge has continues to flourish within this environment.
Tony currently runs two practices in Cheltenham and Stroud, as well as
contracting his services to hospitals. His extensive knowledge in osteopathy
has also provided service for several veterinary surgeries, zoos and Game
reserves in Africa.
Therapists at Physability have worked
with Tony for over 7 years and he will be providing Physability with
osteopathy and supervisory support.
Osteopathy works on the principle of promoting a good blood, nerve, and
lymphatic supply to and from each and every part of the body. Once achieved,
individuals will function at their optimum. Various methods can be used to
promote this, such as articulation of limbs and trunk, mobilisation of
specific joints, soft tissue work locally and systemically, passive muscle
release and cranio-sacral osteopathy, which works on very gently releasing
tension in and around the meninges (membrane layers that surround the brain
and spinal cord).
Specific treatment programmes require several
treatment sessions over a period of weeks, with continual monitoring of an
individual's progress at each session.
