About the Author

Prior to embarking on a life-time of Osteopathy, I studied Physiology (study of the function of the body) at Leeds Uni. I then thought being an optician would be a great idea. Until it dawned on me that it would be a whole world of working in a dark room and it involved lots of physics (a pet hate).

Having studied Physiology (study of the function of the body) I some how found myself training to be an osteopath. During my studies I embarked on a research piece investigating the marketing of osteopathy within the UK. Well, since then it has always been my passion to promote Osteopathy. It is a truly remarkable health care system, which has something to offer everyone. Unfortunately, the majority of the public believe we are back specialists (partly our own fault!) – not so, Osteopathy is a system of healthcare that is intent on promoting health. I imagine our beloved founder of Osteopathy is turning in his grave at the thought of being branded a “back care specialist”!

Part of my ongoing determination to educate the public on osteopathy is to launch the Osteopaths Guide

This solution will benefit not only the community of osteopaths but more importantly give patients (active or prospective) information and choice; helping to meet patients’ needs and expectations and at the same time will raise the profile of the profession.

The Osteopaths Guide serves patients by informing them of osteopaths’ skills and abilities in treating many conditions and by defining groups of practitioners most suited to their needs. The guide is brimming with informative articles and case studies to provide the public with a clearer understanding of how Osteopathy can best help them. For example, were you aware that osteopaths can treat migraines, digestion problems and jaw pain?

It contains up to date articles on all aspects of osteopathic healthcare and whether searching for information regarding treatments or general help and advice, the Osteopaths Guide can provide an invaluable platform for those seeking information on a wide range of health matters.

As for this Blog, I actively encourage all osteopaths to place ideas and comments on any topic. If you are interested in become an author or indeed contributing to the guide itself, please contact me at info@osteopathsguide.com
