About
Laura Worsfold BSc (Hons) Ost.
My interest in health and how the body works first began at school when I enjoyed playing an array of different sports including netball, hockey, squash and swimming. I really enjoyed exercise and staying fit and healthy. From here the natural progression was to study sports development and psychology as my first degree.
After qualifying I trained as a personal trainer and sports massage therapist, where the biomechanics of the body was studied. This was when I realised the importance of osteopathy and how much I enjoyed assisting a patient's recovery.
From here I went on to further my education by studying Osteopathy at the European School of Osteopathy. This was a four-year full time course, which involved the same basic medical sciences as a GP, including anatomy, physiology, neural science, pathology, pharmacology and radiology. The course on a practical level consisted of structural, cranial, visceral and functional Osteopathy. In addition I have studied cranial osteopathy at postgraduate level.
