I became interested in Osteopathy at the early age of 13 when I sustained a sports injury that didn’t get better with conventional treatment and physiotherapy. My GP referred me to an osteopath who managed to identify and treat my injury successfully.
I studied osteopathy at the British School of Osteopathy in London and qualified in 1988.
I gained experience as an associate in three busy practices in Sussex before moving and settling in Yorkshire in 1989. I also gained experience in practices in Skipton, Otley, Wetherby and Wakefield before I established the Guiseley Osteopathic Centre in 1991.
I was appointed to the post of Senior Clinic Tutor for Osteopathy in October 2010 for the Leeds Metroplitan University BSc(Hons)/Master of Osteopathy course and I now split my time 50/50 between the University and private practice.
I have always had a strong interest in using osteopathy to provide a holistic and patient centred approach to treat a variety of conditions. I have undergone post graduate study in many different fields over the years, including visceral and cranial techniques.
