About the osteopath...
Rayner graduated with an Integrated Masters degree in Osteopathy from the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in Maidstone, renowned for it's teaching of a vast catalogue of techniques and exceptional clinical & educational standards, as well as holding qualifications in Holistic, Sports & Indian Head Massage, meaning that in practice she is able to draw upon an extensive toolbox of treatment approaches, ranging from manipulation & deep tissue massage to gentle articulation & cranial techniques in order to tailor an individual treatment plan to suit you.
Rayner loves her job and enjoys that each clinical day brings a whole range of people, from secretaries to bricklayers, sports people to new mums, school children to elderly gardeners, and everyone in between.
Before studying osteopathy, Rayner worked in various office roles, including a European transport company, and as a result knows exactly what a desk based work-life does to your body!
She also worked at a garden centre and knows what lugging around bags of compost all day does to it too!
Rayner has lived in Corringham, Essex since birth and decided upon a career as a manual therapist at the age of 11, dreaming of being the England and Arsenal FC physio owing to her passion for sports.
However, osteopathy was affirmed as her vocation in life after receiving treatments for injuries sustained through Karate & Ju-jitsu, for which she holds Black Belts in both, and other various sports.
Outside of work, she still practices karate & ju-jitsu and also enjoys yoga & ballroom dancing and spends whatever time she has left volunteering for Essex Guinea Pig, Rat & Rabbit Rescue.
She quotes that the biggest lesson learned in clinical practice so far is that "people look after their cars better than they do their bodies".
