A new osteopathy clinic has opened in High Street, Barry.

Joe Whittaker Osteopath is the latest business to come to Barry which offers a range of different treatment options for people with osteopathy issues.

Business owner Joe Whittaker said: “I decided I’d open a business because I wanted to help as many people in Barry as I could.

“I love the profession it’s really fun it lets me play detective and it lets me help people at the same time.”

Joe explained what treatments are available. He said: “I do a complete case history of all my patients, which involves their medical history, any injuries, their sleep, diet, stress levels, any medications and a real whole life assessment.”

“Then I do physical assessments on them, to confirm my diagnosis so I’m able to diagnose patients as well and rerefer them on for private MRI scans or to the GP.”Joe with a client Joe with a client (Image: Joe Whittaker) Joe is a second generation osteopath and is following in his mother Sharon Sylvester’s footsteps.
