Ms Andrea Rippe

Andrea Rippe is Clinic Director and Owner at Kennington Osteopaths and has been practising osteopathy for over 20 years. She specialises in adult and paediatric osteopathy, pregnancy care, cranial osteopathy, trigger point dry needling, and post-surgical or post-trauma pain. Her approach combines spinal manipulation, soft tissue manipulation, trigger point acupuncture, and tailored exercise programmes to relieve pain and promote functional recovery.

Andrea is particularly experienced in treating babies and children, including those with complex presentations. She was a founder of the Postgraduate Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy at University College of Osteopathy (now Health Sciences University) and continues to teach as a clinic tutor and postgraduate lecturer. Her treatment approach is especially beneficial for treating delicate areas such as the head, neck, and face, as well as hypermobile patients, children and anyone for whom gentle techniques are more appropriate.

Andrea also has many years’ experience treating expectant mothers with pelvic girdle pain and postpartum issues, and she is listed on the Pelvic Partnership website for her work in this area.

Andrea holds an MSc in Paediatric Osteopathy from the Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy (2007) and a BOst in Osteopathic Medicine from the University College of Osteopathy (2004). She also completed foundation training in Medical Acupuncture with the British Medical Acupuncture Society (2010).
