Kingston & Teddington Osteopathy
Kingston & Teddington Osteopathy
Carragh graduated from the University College of Osteopathy (formerly the British School of Osteopathy) in 1999 and founded Kingston & Teddington Osteopathy in 2000.
The practice grew and in 2007 moved to the current premises, based in the heart of Teddington. Carragh picks her team for their skill, professionalism, specialist areas of expertise and above all, for their patient-centred Osteopathic approach.
Carragh has based the practice ethos on making Osteopathy easily available to the whole family – from Babies and Children receiving Cranial Osteopathy to Adults and Grandparents having bespoke Osteopathic care for their individual needs. Experience, post-graduate training and a holistic Osteopathic approach are all centred towards enabling patients to achieve active health in their lives.
Carragh’s interests and style of Osteopathy have evolved over the years and is reflected in the practice’s areas of special interest:
Carragh has done further post-graduate training with the Barral Institute, a programme developed internationally by French Osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral.
She has completed Visceral Manipulation and Neural Manipulation courses which have enabled her to expand the types of problems that she can treat. This has enabled her to take on referrals for patients with complex and chronic issues. She is now a registered practitioner for this field of work.

Mark qualified as an Osteopath from the University College of Osteopathy (formerly the British School of Osteopathy) in 2006. He is well versed in Structural & Cranial Osteopathy, Provider of Ultrasound Therapy, Myofascial Dry Acupuncture Needling, Kinesio Sport Taping Specialist and trained in Instrument assisted soft tissue massage (IASTM) using the rock blade instrument and is a Rock Doc. He has additional skills in treating musculoskeletal pain during and after pregnancy and Paediatric Cranial Osteopathy.
His understanding of the underlying causes of the condition (including bad posture, dietary or life-style habits), focusses his osteopathic treatment with the aim being not only at pain relief, but also in the prevention of acute conditions and the gradual recovery/stabilization of more chronic disease. Mark believes in Osteopathy being a tool for working to restore your body to a state of balance without using drugs or surgery.
Outside of osteopathy he has a keen interest in Olympic weightlifting, training, and snowboarding. This helps his insight into the osteopathic principle of structure governs function which applies to everything in our lives and brings that into the way he treats. He also understands the mind body connection and is qualified in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) at a practitioner level.
Mark has worked with a wide variety of patients from Olympic athletes, mixed martial artist (MMA) champions to the weekend warrior and yet is able to use his skill set just as effectively with the elderly and children. He treats everyone individually with bespoke Osteopathic care from acute to chronic problems.
