'I have always maintained a keen interest in the workings of the human body and found that Osteopathy best reflected my own views on health and healing.
As a sportsman, I often received osteopathic treatment and found that I returned to competition much quicker and that my general health and performance improved overall. The osteopathic philosophy of treating the person and not the disease/complaint and of considering all aspects of a person's mind, body and environment enables me, as an osteopath, to enhance peoples' health and well-being. Whether a patient is 8 or 80 years old, this gives me an enormous amount of pleasure and job satisfaction.'
