Iona BernardOSTEOPATH & PILATES  M. OST GOSC 

Originally from France, Iona moved to London to complete her master’s degree in Osteopathy. Her background in dance inspired her to become a healthcare professional as she experienced the benefits of investing in her own health during her dance training. Since graduating from the University College of Osteopathy with distinction, Iona has adopted a multi-faceted approach to optimize the recovery of her patients.

Iona is passionate about helping you move with ease by identifying the processes involved in your presentation. She offers a warm and therapeutic space, where health-related issues can be discussed and explored to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

 She uses a wide range of manual techniques including structural techniques and manipulations, very gentle cranio-sacral therapy, visceral techniques, myofascial and soft tissue work.

Alongside manual therapy, Iona also provides physical therapy advice to enhance your recovery. As a qualified dance teacher, she encourages you to develop a positive awareness of your body, and refine the quality of movement by increasing muscle tonicity, breathing effectively, and achieving efficient muscle contraction.

With a keen interest in sports injuries, chronic and acute pain presentations, paediatrics, pregnancy and postpartum care, Iona offers tailored treatments to every patient.
