She has a strong sporting background, having played hockey for England at Junior level, and currently also plays football and runs in various competitive events. Hazel's interest in the performance of the body and its ability to withstand tension, stress, fatigue, illness and injury both in an everyday environment and in higher demand situations (such as sport) is at the heart of her work. She also considers getting to the root of the presenting problem as key in any treatment. Hazel is a qualified Naturopath and therefore integrates elements such as diet, hydrotherapy and exercise into her osteopathic treatment where appropriate.
