Dr. James Gillard (Osteopath)
James is an experienced osteopath who is inquisitive and a problem solver by nature.
James uses a ‘Brain and Nervous system based” approach to help identify areas where a breakdown in communication between the brain, nervous system and body tissues exist. Using a combination of manual therapy and brain based movements we can facilitate the system to recalibrate and return to balance. As a result, patients tend to see very quick changes to their symptoms and function.
James has completed post graduate training as a Functional Medicine practitioner, with a particular interest in the gut and it’s connection with the brain, nervous system and inflammation. During extended consultations, he provides extensive nutritional and lifestyle recommendations to support how the whole system functions as an adjunct to osteopathic treatment.
He has also completed post graduate pediatric training and cranial osteopathy working with infants feeding mechanics and the musculoskeletal tension and strains that can occur with colic and birth trauma.
His main areas of clinical focus tend to be more complex and longstanding issues, such as:
- Chronic or recurring pain
- Migraine & headache
- Arthritis
- Dizziness, vertigo and post concussion symptoms
- Infants feeding difficulty, strains associated with colic and birth trauma.
Outside of work, James enjoys growing fresh produce, sharing hearty meals with loved ones and spending time in nature with his young family.
