Home › Find out about us › Our practitioners

We're a small, friendly team of practitioners supported by several reception and administration staff who help to keep things running smoothly.

Our practitioners are all registered osteopaths, but each has a different area of interest and specialism. For instance, Carl’s interest in sports medicine has led him to become the osteopath for the England football team, while Melanie’s focus on day-to-day health and fitness has seen her establish our popular Pilates and fitball classes.
