Nina Aouane Osteopath back pain sports injury specialist

Nouara Aouane (Nina)

M.Ost, Osteopath

Hello, My name is Nouara Taous but I am known as Nina. My childhood dream was to be an astronaut (lol) but it turns out my interest in healthcare was stronger and I found happiness in osteopathy. I graduated in 2019 with a masters degree in Osteopathy from Swansea University and have been practicing ever since. During my career I treated a vast variety of physical problems ranging from acute to chronic and severe pain. My approach to treatment is very holistic where I always consider the mind and body together. I like to prescribe a course of treatment to help people achieve their goals as well as improve and maintain good physical performance. In my free time I love going to the gym and doing kickboxing, which leads my interest towards sporting injuries. However, I also enjoy treating headaches and other problems. Other hobbies include spending quality time with my dog and traveling. The Reason why I love my job is getting to know people and creating connections. My goals are the same as my patients' goals because once they have reached them, I know I have completed my task well and feel a great sense of reward from that. If you’d like to know anything else about me, please don’t be shy and ask away 🙂 See you all very soon!

Yoko Osteopath Frodsham Runcorn back pain and neck pain specialist

Yasmine Aouane (Yoko)

M.Ost, Osteopath.

Hey there, I'm Yasmine Aouane, but you can call me Yoko. While my professional journey began in the biomedical and pharmaceutical scene, I soon realized that true health and wellbeing is about way more than just fixing one part or taking tablets. That's where osteopathy came into play for me with a holistic approach tailored to each individual. It's all about looking at the big picture when it comes to keeping people healthy. Inspired by my sister Nina, who embarked on her own osteopathic journey, I decided to pursue the same path for a more fulfilling career. In 2020, I proudly got my masters degree in osteopathy, and ever since, I've had the pleasure of helping a wide range of people, addressing a whole spectrum of health concerns. Beyond the common back pain, I enjoy helping people with long-term issues, acute injuries, and anything stress or posture related. Outside of the clinic, you'll often find me going out for walks with my dog and my family, Cooking all sorts of cuisines, or looking after my precious plant collection. Traveling is a big passion too. I was fortunate to explore around 15 countries so far, but there's a whole lot more on my list. I speak a couple of different languages, so feel free to get in touch if you wanna practice your French! If there is anything else you’d like to know, feel free to get in touch and I’m more than happy to chat!

About Osteopathy

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a method of detecting, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal problems by manipulating, stretching, and massaging the muscles and joints. At the heart of osteopathic practice is the belief that a person’s health depends on how the bones, muscles, ligaments, and internal systems of the body work together. Osteopaths are required to be registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and must complete a four-year degree to practice. Since 2017, osteopaths have been recognized as Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) by NHS England, similar to physiotherapists.

How Do Osteopaths Treat?

Osteopaths use a wide range of manual techniques to restore the normal function and stability of joints and muscles. These techniques can include soft tissue work, joint manipulation (adjustments), neuromuscular techniques, myofascial release, and positional release, among others. By addressing the root cause of pain, osteopaths aim to aid the body in healing, reduce discomfort, and improve mobility. Osteopaths take a patient-centered approach, considering an individual's medical history, symptoms, job, and lifestyle to create a personalized treatment plan.

Does Osteopathy Help?

Osteopathy is effective for a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including joint and muscle complaints. According to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), manual therapy like osteopathy is recommended in combination with exercise to treat a range of joint and muscle-related issues. Osteopaths also provide guidance on posture, exercises, and lifestyle modifications to aid recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent the recurrence of symptoms. By spending more time with each patient, osteopaths can ensure a holistic approach to treatment that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of healing.
