Osteopathy

The Osteopathy service at Vale Healthcare is led by Garry Trainer, a highly reputable and experienced Osteopath who runs weekly clinics a short drive from Cardiff at Vale Healthcare's Vale Hospital, located in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a process of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. The approach focuses on the structure and function of the body, based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.

Testimonials

Garry treats patients from all over the country, and from much further afield. Some testimonials…

“I’ve been to Garry as a patient myself and have also referred many people to him. I’m a firm believer in osteopathy. In the hands of a skilled practitioner like Garry, I truly believe that for many types of back pain, osteopathy is a better line of treatment than conventional medicine. He has a wealth of knowledge and tremendous experience in treating back pain. If anyone knows about how the back works and how to fix it, it’s Garry Trainer.”
Dr Hilary Jones

“Garry is an amazing healer, often able to correct things that no one else can. His technique of mixing acupuncture with osteopathy brings about a deep sense of emotional well being coupled with terrific physical results. At the end of a treatment one feels entirely put back together. I rely on Garry heavily to get me through any difficult period, physical, emotional or otherwise.”
Gwyneth Paltrow

“When we first came to live in the UK I met Garry at a function, and as I needed a good osteopath, thought I would give him a go. He has been amazing, and his knowledge of the human body is unbelievable. Having played rugby for many years it is important that now I am retired I continue to keep the muscles supple and joints moving! Garry is just the man for that!”
Sean Fitzpatrick (Ex All Blacks Captain)

“Garry has been treating me for over 10 years and it’s not too much to say that during that period he has – on many occasions – saved if not my life, then certainly my sanity and certainly my ability to work. He’s much more than an osteopath, he’s a healer.”
Emma Thompson

“Garry Trainer is simply the best there is. Minor or major pain is relieved with expertise, care, charm and efficiency. He has eased my aching muscles, straightened me when bent double, cured limps, twitches and strains, and no, the needles don’t hurt!”
Sir Derek Jacobi
