Declan Knights has a passion for helping people, improving their quality of movement, lifestyles and health. His inspiration to become an osteopathic practitioner commenced when one treated him to fix his niggling back at the age of 12. Declan studied a year of paramedicine, then went on to complete his Bachelor of Health Science (Osteopathy) and Masters of Osteopathy in Australia. He is enthusiastic to treat and become part of his patients’ health journeys; supporting and enabling them to achieve their goals. Declan has a keen interest in sport, especially cricket which he has played for a number of years both representatively and locally. He has worked with football clubs both at the local and professional level in injury management, prevention, rehabilitation and therapeutic taping with athletes. Declan believes relationships are key to his practice; emphasising patient education and communication as the most important things in helping inspire and empower better health outcomes and rehabilitation. He utilises a range of techniques from soft tissue therapy, articulatory techniques and manipulation to improve range of motion whilst also using indirect techniques to relax the muscles and nervous systems in the body. Declan also has done extra study in concussion management and treatment and has helped a range of different people recover successfully and return back to their chosen sport and job symptom free.
