About Joanna Blair DO, M.Ost, (Dip.) MSMA, (Dip.) HSC

Jo graduated from the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in 2012 with an integrated masters degree in Osteopathy (M.Ost) and is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).

The ESO is a greatly respected Osteopathic school and is particularly recognised for its teachings in cranial osteopathy as well as a large range of other classical osteopathic techniques.

Before becoming an osteopath, she worked as a gym instructor and personal trainer whilst studying for two years on a physiotherapy degree course at Sheffield Hallum University. This gave her experience within various hospital wards and several sports teams including Doncaster Knights (rugby club) and Sheffield United (football club).

Alongside practicing osteopathic techniques, sports massage therapy is included as part of the treatment. She has practiced sports massage for over fifteen years and is registered with the Sports Massage Association (SMA).

Completing the Level 4 Anatomy and Physiology course in Aesthetics Practice encouraged her to obtain qualifications in facials and electrotherapy from the Ray Cochrane Beauty school in London. Facials not only reduce fine lines, pores and wrinkles but can also help one's quality of sleep, reduce muscular tensions within the upper back, face, jaw, head and neck. She finds providing facials very rewarding.

Before starting her own practice, she worked in several other multidisciplinary clinics and found these experiences invaluable when setting up the Leagrave Therapy Clinic in April 2015.

Her particular speciality for rehabilitation would be the sacroiliac joint, shoulder, neck and lower back pain. Attention to detail of postural control, compensatory related pathology, biomechanics and how the human body moves is closely assessed.
