About Rathfarnham Osteopathic Clinic
The clinic describes osteopathy as a whole-body system of healthcare that uses gentle hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat pain, discomfort and reduced mobility. It says treatment is suitable for all ages, from babies to the elderly, and for office workers and sports enthusiasts alike.
The approach focuses on why a problem developed and on educating patients about their condition and treatment options. Treatment may include soft tissue stretching and massage, joint articulation, spinal manipulation and cranial techniques, supported by rehabilitation exercises, posture advice, breathing exercises and dietary advice.
Jennifer Murphy graduated with a B.Sc (Hons) Osteopathic Medicine from the Surrey Institute of Osteopathic Medicine in 2007 and has since worked in private practice. She has postgraduate training in paediatric, obstetric, visceral and cranial osteopathy. The clinic is at the end of a cul de sac, in the house with the green door, with parking outside.
