Helen Martin

Osteopath BOst

Registered Osteopath

Helen graduated from the College of Osteopaths in September 2022. Prior to this, she spent 5+ years working for the NHS in GP Surgeries and at the Royal London Hospital. Her knowledge of the NHS enables her to help her patients make the most of the care they are entitled to.

She discovered Osteopathy after returning from working in the South of France with a neck problem. While receiving treatment at a local clinic, she had a ‘revelation’ and knew that Osteopathy was her calling. She signed up for the five-year degree, and the rest is history!

Her degree included a level 5 qualification in Sports Massage. Since completing her degree, she has taken further training in dry-needling and shockwave therapy.

She has previously worked in practices in Welwyn Garden City and Bath.

Helen enjoys treating patients from all walks of life. She is particularly interested in helping patients with chronic, long-standing conditions. Another personal interest of hers is headaches and neck problems - probably due to her own experiences in this area!

Helen has had a varied life so far and hopes to continue this. She has lived abroad in Russia, South Africa, and, most recently, in the South of France. She loves films, animals (especially dogs!), and food and really enjoys connecting with her patients on a professional and personal level. She strongly believes that understanding and empowering her patients to take an active role in their health and recovery is vital.

Since graduating, Helen has gained qualifications and training in the following areas:

Dry Needling - Core Elements Training
MET masterclass - John Gibbons
Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy for conditions including Achilles Tendinopathy, Plantar Fasciitis, Rotator Cuff Tendinopathies and more…
