Welcome to Carol Plumridge Osteopathy
I trained at the University College of Osteopathy (formally the British School of Osteopathy) and graduated in 1980 after a four-year full time training. I am registered with the General Osteopathic Council and maintain the Osteopathic Standards of Practice. I see clients that are referred from GP’s and who also self refer. I am insured with The Institute of Osteopathy.
Clients come with spinal and joint problems, headaches and symptoms that have developed due to accidents. I take a holistic view of every client and will look at their general health, stress levels, lifestyle and exercise habits. So I can offer high quality and personalised health care.

Covid-19 Outbreak
If you need a face-to-face consultation please read the following information.
I have put in place the following changes to my practice due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Hopefully this will reassure you that I am doing everything I possibly can to minimise the risk of catching Covid 19 during your appointment but I cannot guarantee the environment will be perfectly virus free. If you are vulnerable or shielding or you are living with family members who are vulnerable or shielding either book a telehealth consultation or email me for advice at info@carolplumridgeosteopathy.co.uk or leave a message on 01249 445 426. Appointments can be booked below, if you haven't seen me before please book a new patient appointment.• Appointments are spaced out to allow for cleaning and disinfection between clients. All surfaces and door handles are cleaned.
• Please use the toilet before your appointment. • Please wherever possible come to your appointment alone; if you need a chaperone or are bringing a child you will all have to have a Covid-19 screening. Everyone must wear a face covering. • If before your appointment you have a temperature, cough or loss of sense of taste or smell please cancel your appointment. • Please arrive on time for your appointment and wait in your car until you are invited into the clinic. I will ask you about your health and take your temperature; you will be invited to sanitise your hands on entering and leaving the clinic. • Please bring as little into the clinic as possible, you will be asked to place any belongings into a plastic box. • I will be wearing a mask and a disposable apron. I have wipe able pillows and no coverings on the treatment table. • I have written and regularly update an infection control and mitigation policy, if you would like a copy please ask. • Payment is by card only the card reader is cleaned between each transaction. • Currently all appointments are based in Chippenham, Patford House remains closed. • I will also be posting advice on Facebook and Instagram to help you keep flexible and pain free. • If after your appointment you become unwell, have a temperature, cough or loss of sense of taste or smell please contact me as soon as possible and isolate at home for 10 days. • Thank you for all of your support during these trying times. Take good care of yourselves and your nearest and dearest. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any help or advice.

Testimonials
Following a Trimalleolar ankle fracture and insertion of plates etc I needed advice on exercises to regain mobility of my ankle and increase the weight bearing capacity. Even though Carol is not able to undertake face to face consultations she undertook a video consultation which was incredibly helpful. She followed up with excercises and videos to help.
I am now on the road to recovery and am very grateful to Carol who has provided a positive input towards that recovery. MK May 2020
