Treats pre-school to elderly
I have been involved in manual therapy since 2006 after making the decision to dedicate my professional life to helping others. As well as being an Osteopath and Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist, Iām also a husband, father and charity volunteer. I truly believe that the human body has the innate ability to seek health and wellness. Reducing muscle and joint tension and improving circulation enables the body to self-heal.
Since birth Iāve had a genetic eye condition which resulted in me being severely sight impaired. Osteopathy and Massage Therapy has been the perfect occupation. These professions are much more about what you can feel rather than see. A decrease in one sense results in an increase in another, the sense of touch that is so important for diagnosis and treatment has been my gift.
With a background in training and competing in Olympic Style Weightlifting for 10 years to Commonwealth Level. I now take part in Yoga and Running.
Qualifications
I first completed a one year BTEC Level 4 Diploma in Sports & Remedial Massage from the North London School of Sports Massage. This was immediately followed by a four-year full-time Master of Osteopathy undergraduate degree at the British School of Osteopathy. In 2013 I also became a fully qualified Kinesio Taping Practitioner.
Interests
I am an avid fundraiser for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, raising nearly Ā£11.000 for this great cause already. I have undertaken a 112km trek across the Sahara Desert and took part in the Bupa Great South Run 2013.

Treats pre-school to elderly
I graduated from the University College of Osteopathy with a masters in osteopathy. While studying I also became qualified as a level 5 soft tissue therapist. My interest in osteopathy comes from having great Osteopaths treating me for the various injuries I acquired over the years through the various activities that I have participated in and in maintaining my overall health.
I like treating all types of people and enjoy the investigation and enquiry needed to find the best treatment to support people on their journey to optimum health

Treats pre-school to elderly
I graduated at University College of Osteopathy with a masters in Osteopathy. I have been involved in manual therapy since 2018. I am also a qualified massage therapist, specialising in Sports, Deep, Swedish and Pregnancy massage.
I use a structural osteopathic approach whilst adapting this context to the patientās lifestyle and goals, taking into consideration activity levels, sleep, posture and stress. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with a range of musculoskeletal complaints, treating people of all ages. I use a combination of different techniques in my treatments and every treatment is specialised for the individual.
My transition to osteopathy stems from a desire to help others and allow them to be the best version of themselves.
