The Blenheim osteopathic clinic is a one-practitioner osteopathy practice on Redwood Street in Witherlea, and its practitioner is blind. The practitioner says this helps the work. Without seeing a client, they arrive without preconceived ideas, and they often find the tissues tell a different story from the one the client describes. That leads to the treatment that suits the body at that time.
Appointments are 45 minutes, including consultation and treatment. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8.45am to 5.15pm, except on Wednesdays, when it closes at 3pm. Phone (03) 265 4003 or 022 635 8590. The practitioner's approach also looks beyond the treatment table. They work with clients on five pillars of health, which are movement, nutrition, environment, sleep and thinking, and they see those as the basis of self-care and wellbeing.
