PRACTITIONERS
Kelly Haines
BSc Hons, DO, MSCCO
Principal Osteopath
Kelly took over as Principal and owner of Cricklade Osteopaths in 2020 having worked at the practice as an Associate since 2011.
Before training as an Osteopath, Kelly was a professional classical musician and she continues to work in this field alongside Osteopathy. She has particular interest in treating conditions common amongst performing artists.
Kelly is also a Paediatric Osteopath, frequently treating babies and children.
Kelly prefers to treat using the gentle techniques of Cranial Osteopathy for the majority of her appointments. More information about Cranial Osteopathy can be found here.
She has spent considerable time studying at the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy and is about to become a member of their faculty as an Assistant Tutor to post graduate Osteopaths.
During your appointment with Kelly, she will take into consideration not only the musculoskeletal system but other areas within the body, when analysing where a particular pain might originate.
Kelly says: ‘It is important to look at possible underlying issues, not just focus on the pain itself. Quite often the issue may lie away from the area of pain so my gentle treatment may focus on a number of different areas of the body. This approach can often influence the tissues where the pain is presenting. With this in mind, I often see very complex cases where there are other health concerns present in addition to the aches and pains which brought the patient to me’
Kelly was part of the medical team at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, and was subsequently invited to be part of the medical teams for the 2023 Invictus Games and the 2024 Olympics.

She plans on gaining more qualifications in the near future to develop this skill set and allow her to offer a wide range of treatments.
She says ‘I enjoy looking at the bigger picture of a patient and treating the whole body holistically and not just the part that hurts’.
She likes to use a broad range of structural techniques to achieve the best results for her patients.
Ellie has taken part in competitive gymnastics, sparking her interest in a career in Osteopathy. She continues to coach gymnastics to maintain her skills and to keep active.
