Frequently asked questions
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
Patients tend to present with neck or back pain, sometimes dizziness or headaches, which are affecting their activities of daily life or their lifestyle and which is stopping them doing what they want to achieve in their day.
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
I tend to offer a much more hands-on approach. Hence, lots of gentle manual therapy, whether that be a massage or joint mobilisation to try and adjust the biomechanics, and then reinforce that with home exercises and stretching to try and get a long-term solution.
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
I have a special interest in the cervical spine and related pathologies. I treat a lot of headaches and migraines, particularly dizziness (cervicogenic dizziness or dizziness related to neck injuries). I would deal a lot with a concussion and car accidents. But I treat all areas of the body, whether it's a knee problem or whether it's a gait-related problem.
Osteopaths, on the whole, I included, tend to deal with more long-term biomechanical breakdown rather than acute injuries. For example, problems which tend to occur, from the patients' point of view, for an apparent reason rather than after a specific event.

❝Miss Amanda Lau works for the English Institute of Sport. She is really very good. She's very good above-the-foot. You get a lot of podiatrists who can make very good orthotics which are good for the feet, whereas she's the only one I have come across who can change what happens in the lower back and in the thoracic spine by devices, which is good.❞
