About William Hauxwell
The site says William has practised as an osteopath for 30 years, holds an honours degree in Human Sciences from Oxford and an honours degree in Osteopathic Medicine from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, and is also qualified in cranial osteopathy and pain-relief acupuncture. He has taught clinical osteopathy at the Irish College of Osteopathic Medicine, the British College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Stillorgan Institute of Physical Therapy.
His adult treatment is primarily structural, with a focus on the sacroiliac joints in the pelvis, which he believes are often the source of back pain, headaches and some knee problems. He also uses rib manipulation and a specific type of acupuncture for shoulder problems.
Castlewood Clinic is on the small road behind the Swan Centre car park, with pay and display parking outside.
