My role as an osteopath can perhaps be best described as a mechanic for the human body. Indeed the workings of the body I find fascinating and this led me to first study neurophysiology at undergraduate and masters level and latterly osteopathy. I also have a keen interest in endurance sport and have competed in triathlon at various distances up to IM - at age group level and also as an elite in the GB long distance squad (a long time ago!). Having spent 16 years in the Army including the associated military training and representing the Army in cross country, marathon and triathlon I have also had my own fair share of injuries! Indeed the practical experience I have gained as an athlete, triathlon coach and osteopath together with a background in physiology have been key in providing me with a depth of understanding that spans the biomechanical, physiological and psychological aspects of body function and dysfunction. Harnessing this knowledge and applying practically to improve the quality of health of others, athlete and non- athlete alike, is where my journey has taken me.
