Dr Christine Thompson
Osteopath & Lymphoedema Practitioner
After experiencing firsthand the impact injuries can have, Christine wanted to help others by reducing their pain and improving their performance. This led her to pursue remedial massage and then osteopathic studies.
Christine enjoys treating a wide range of patients and musculoskeletal concerns, tailoring her approach to each person’s needs and goals. She uses a variety of techniques to improve movement, ease discomfort, and support overall wellbeing.
A longstanding interest in the lymphatic system led Christine to become an ALA accredited Lymphoedema Practitioner in 2026.
