About Edinburgh Osteopath Helen How
A graduate of the European School of Osteopathy, Helen combines the latest advances in osteopathy with a gentle patient-centred approach to diagnosis and treatment. This ensures that the treatment at the How Osteopathic Clinic Edinburgh is suitable for a wide-range of conditions including; back pain, neck pain, sports injury, arthritis and rheumatism and repetitive strain injury.
As a practising osteopath Helen is particularly interested in the changes to our bodily structure and the health issues created by the increasingly sedentary lifestyles we lead. Her research and training on muscular skeletal disorders such as tense fibrotic muscles and muscle degeneration has led to the integration of modern osteopathic techniques into her treatments and she is fully trained in the use of Vibrotherapy, NMES, Ultrasound and Magentolith Therapy.
The How Osteopathic clinic was one of the first non-NHS osteopathic clinics in Scotland to be licenced to use Shockwave Therapy as part of osteopathic treatment and Helen is one of the Vennhealthcare Shockwaves Educators for the UK.

Your First Visit with Osteopath Helen How
On your first visit to the How Osteopathic Clinic Edinburgh, your osteopath Helen How will begin by taking your full medical history. This will include questions about your diet, lifestyle, any medical problems or health issues may have or have had in the past as well as questions relating to your current symptoms, areas of pain and/or stiffness or mobility issues. All of the information you give is in the strictest confidence so do give as much detail as you are able to.
