Karen Lemon trained for five years at the British School of Osteopathy in London and graduated with a Masters degree in Osteopathy, M.Ost. She also holds qualifications in Sports Massage and Medical Acupuncture, and has worked in the NHS and in private osteopathy clinics. Her stated areas of experience include low back pain, neck and shoulder issues, sports injuries, headaches, pregnancy related pain and postural issues.

Her clinical interests include pain science and helping patients understand why they may be in pain. She also draws on Pilates training when setting rehabilitation exercises. The initial assessment includes a case history, examination, diagnosis and discussion of a treatment plan. If an examination requires you to dress down, clothing can be left on if you prefer.

The clinic is based at Market Studios Wellness Centre in Greenwich, London, where there are treatment rooms and a wider group of therapists. The centre also includes other osteopaths, sports massage therapists and physios. It is accessible by DLR, mainline train and bus, and there is no allocated parking.
