Rupert Hanbury

After his degree in biochemistry, Rupert graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 1988. He joined the Ashcroft Practice in 1996 and uses the "classical" osteopathic approach involving comprehensive analysis of problems such as pain and stiffness. Cranial osteopathy techniques also form an essential part of his treatment: the best combination of technique is chosen for the particular patient.

Rupert's holistic approach often includes advice about work strain, exercise and exercises, and he maintains good links with local doctors and other specialists. Rupert has a special interest in rehabilitation after injury and coordinating treatment for longer term problems.
