Norwich Osteopathic Practice
Joelle Fordham M.Ost (D.O), Clinic Director, Osteopath, Medical Acupuncturist & Trainee Buteyko Teacher GOsC Registration: 8122
or Joelle, the launch of Body Flow Osteopathy answered a life-long ambition to work independently and have the opportunity to provide the best quality of care & service, without the restrictions often imposed by larger organisations. Integrity & honesty have always been Joelle's ethos and it was just natural that she should extend it to her business.
Joelle's osteopathic ambitions started in childhood: " I grew up in a place where recognised manual therapies of any kind were very hard to come by. Seeing my family members frequently plagued with severe back pain, I was astounded by the hopelessness of it all: no answer, no cure, no solution. I was only a few years old but I already felt compelled to help... and I did try with varying success! When I came across osteopathy, I knew immediately it was for me - I'd been hearing the "calling" from a young age but now it had a name."
In time, Joelle graduated with an "integrated master degree in osteopathy" from the prestigious European School of Osteopathy(ESO) and was awarded the Research Group prize for her dissertation which was subsequently presented at the Chiropractic, Osteopathy & Physiotherapy annual conference. Before graduating as an osteopath, Joelle spent a few years traveling and working in various industries. She feels this experience now allows her to connect and understand people of much more diverse backgrounds which is important as an osteopath.
She is fully insured and registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and the Institute of Osteopathy (iO). She is also registered with multiple private insurance company (please check).
In order to obtain & keep their registration, Osteopaths must provide an enhanced Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check each year and have appropriate professional indemnity insurance in place. You're in safe hands with us.
Body Flow Osteopathy remains committed to research and osteopathic development. It is very much a family orientated practice and Joelle takes pride in treating the whole family: from babies a few days old to great-grand-parents and everyone in between, dog included.

Our Pledge
Because we believe in osteopathy and we believe in making the world a better place, we like to do our modest part.
We serve our community by making a few treatment sessions each week available at greatly reduced rates to those who most need it but couldn't otherwise afford it. We are also proud supporters of Osteopathy Without Borders, a Montreal-based organisation that has for mission to bring osteopathy to the developing world. Osteopathy is a low-cost, low tech, effective form of medicine and is ideal to bridge the gap in situations or places where allopathic (traditional) medicine is scarce or not available.
