Meet Your Team
I founded Osteopathic Consultancy in July 2000 after qualifying from The British School Of Osteopathy. With help from my wife Sharon, Osteopathic Consultancy has grown considerably over the years. The path of Osteopathy was shown to me when I had a shoulder injury whilst swimming. I swam at National Level for many years until my shoulder injury. I then had mainstream medical treatment to try to help my pain. This ended with an Orthopaedic operation on my shoulder. At this time my swimming coach gave me the idea of going to see an Osteopath. I was quite negative about having help from what I saw it at the time as a non-mainstream medical practitioner. I was in such bad pain my parents and I thought we would give it a go. I was very impressed with the Osteopath I saw, his knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology was second to none and he greatly helped my shoulder, leading me to be pain free.
Through my teenage years I also played Football at county and Golf at district standard. With this obvious background in sports I always assumed that my path in Osteopathy would follow sports injuries. When training at the British School Of Osteopathy my interest in sports was maintained, but I began to realise that the use of general Osteopathic medicine could bring great benefits to all types of people from all walks of life. Within the course at The British School of Osteopathy numerous special clinics were run. I participated in these clinics, which consisted of paediatric (children’s) maternity, geriatric (elderly people) and the sports clinic.
In my clinic I see patients from all walks of life and I absolutely love it.

Osteopath
After earning my Master’s degree in Osteopathy I became a certified Pilates Instructor with Osteopathic Consultancy and I love what this adds to the role.
I have always been fascinated by the body’s inherent ability to self-heal and this was apparent after receiving my fair share of injuries playing in my school’s first team for football and tennis. I pursued my interest further by studying osteopathy at Swansea University. There, the extensive academic training in anatomy and physiology, combined with years of hands-on clinical experience has equipped me with an in-depth understanding of optimizing the body’s function through musculoskeletal balance and posture. My aim is to provide manual and holistic approaches to facilitate the body back to health.
I have always wanted to help those around me and there is no greater satisfaction than developing a patient’s understanding of their own body so that together we can reach personal goals and achieve long-term health.

Osteopath
I graduated from Swansea University with a first class Master of Osteopathy degree, earning the ‘Outstanding Achievement in Academic Excellence’ award during my studies. Throughout my career as a professional musician I developed an appreciation for the vital role of movement in maintaining optimal physical and mental well-being, and the joy of educating and empowering others to reach their potential. This has led me to many incredible places including the Isle of Wight Festival and Abbey Road Studios. Using a combination of expert advice and education, specific and effective hands-on treatment and therapeutic exercise prescription, I pride myself on closely following my patients throughout each stage of their journey, and celebrating every win! I am obsessed with delivering the highest standard of patient care and ensuring my patients not just become pain-free but flourish, achieving their best quality of life.

Osteopath
I attained my Master’s degree in Osteopathy from Swansea university.
My osteopathic journey started in my teens, having experienced back pain throughout my rigorous sporting regimen throughout my adolescence, I was amazed at the holistic and patient centred approach osteopaths lend themselves to. The arduous anatomy and physiology training, philosophical principles of osteopathy and hands on clinical training helped me understand how to best help to body to function. The way in which the body naturally adapts, its ability to self and my interest in understanding more about my back conditions drew me to the profession and my empathetic nature inspired me to help others experiencing musculoskeletal injuries. Combining these experiences allows me to deliver expert individualised hands on care and advice, as well as helping others achieve personal goals, a better quality of life and optimised health.
